Haul #16: Brickish Weekend

Monday, 5th March 2018 By Caz

It would have been very tempting to spend loads of money with the vendors at the Brickish weekend, but I decided to be good and only acquired a handful of Minifigs.

Looking back on things now, I realise I already have a Corn-on-the-Cob Guy. Ooops. I will have to keep a better eye on my inventory! But I couldn’t resist Bananaman, Donald and Daisy Duck, and the flag-wielding astronaut (it had to be done as we were at the National Space Centre). The regular minifig next to him was my prize from the Fairybricks Tombola.

Exhibition: LMEE 2018

Sunday, 21st January 2018 By Caz

The London AFOLs were sharing a stand at the London Model Engineering Exhibition with Brickish at Ally Pally over the weekend. Several of our members had built GBC modules and they were all put together to make a ridiculously pointless ball-carrying contraption, including two of mine. The punters loved it! Here’s a video of the circuit:

I was helping to run the machine all day, and heard many complimentary comments. The two best ones were:

This is the best LEGO model I’ve ever seen!

and

This is the best model in the whole show!

High praise indeed… Anyway, here are my two contributions merrily shifting balls.

And the public clearly loved it – there were loads of questions from young and old alike.

I was allowed out for a little while to look at the rest of the LEGO on display, here is a selection of photos of other builds:

So all in all my first experience at exhibiting was a good one, great fun and excellent company. When’s the next one?
