My Great Ball Contraption Full Circuit of 16 GBC Modules

Monday, 2nd November 2020 By Caz

It’s been almost a year since I showed you the full layout of my Great Ball Contraption. I had most of them out over the weekend for the Virtual BrickWorld Halloween show, my first BrickWorld event. So I thought I would film it before they all went back in their boxes. I now have 16 different modules, up from the dozen I showed in the last full circuit tour.

If you would like to see individual videos for each module, here is a list of them:

  • Big Bird (2) & Pinball
  • Rainbow Lift & ZigZag
  • Buckets Of Fun MkIII
  • Rainbow Tipper
  • Rainbow Whirligig
  • Rainbow Sawtooth
  • Rainbow Solaire
  • Rainbow Double Step
  • Rainbow Serpentine
  • Rainbow Slalom
  • Rainbow Rover
  • Rainbow See-Saw
  • Rainbow Compact Cardan Lift
  • Rainbow & Lime Wheel
  • Rainbow Cradle Tipper
  • Rainbow Worm Mill

My GBC In Virtual Brickworld’s International Loop

Saturday, 31st October 2020 By Caz

Brickworld held another virtual con over Halloween weekend, and I was invited to be part of the international Great Ball Contraption loop. The original first presenter was a bit late, so I went on as the first guest – but after a couple of modules, one of mine broke! There was a handover to Derek while the errant machine got fixed. Hence, my contribution starts at 3’55” and again at 31’20”.

My Ninjago District Featured On Bricks At Home

Saturday, 1st August 2020 By Caz

Last weekend Brick Alley LUG co-hosted the virtual LEGO show Bricks At Home with London AFOLs. There was a good cross-section of sessions across two days, and during the first slot on Sunday morning, I showed off my Ninjago District. All of the sessions were recorded, and you can see the full running order on the Bricks At Home archive page.

LNUR Trains At Shildon Brick Show 2019

Friday, 29th November 2019 By Caz

The LNUR LEGO Train layout was looking very impressive at the Shildon Brick Show this year. Thanks to builders Isaac, Jamie, Pete and Richard for letting my camera get a passenger’s eye view of the goings on around the track. They have made some awesome engines, rolling stock, freight wagons and scenery. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

GBC At Shildon Brick Show 2019

Monday, 25th November 2019 By Caz

I normally exhibit my Great Ball Contraption models with my LUG, the London AFOLs. But recently I was invited by friends in the Brick Alley LUG to take my models to their Shildon Brick Show in the North East. The line kicked off with a series of my GBC builds, which then fed into some really nicely themed models from the Brick Alley members, many of whom were first-time GBC builders. There were some familiar designs on show, but also a few which were original concepts, so it’s great to see how much they achieved for their first GBC lineup at a show.
