The Farm is Starting to Shape Up

I have been on a LEGO spree this week. I built a few cars the other night and this evening I finished the first element in my farm layout for BrickFair, the barn.

I am really happy with the way it has turned out since this is my first stab at anything like this. My little church had to come apart to make this happen, but I think it was worth it. The roof does lift off and there is a sparse interior. Surprisingly for something that I built the roof does fall apart if someone looks at it wrong (unlike the church).

The next project will be the farmhouse, or the silo. I haven't decided yet.

As an aside - the farmer looks uncannily similar to my dad in my opinion. Although Dad probably wouldn't wear a red shirt with green overalls. Maybe farmers dress like that in Denmark.

Stuff for BrickFair

Long time, no blog. I have been working on some stuff for Brick Fair in August and read The Warded Man by Peter Brett.

We have cows..


... LEGO cows that is. And some camels. The farm now has some livestock (0ther than ostriches). Now it just needs a farm house, barn, silo, tractors, etc.

What use are camels on a farm you say? They can be leased to churches for live manger scenes at Christmas! Other than that I have no idea.

Charlotte trip

Becky and I left little J with Mimi at our house today and drove off to Charlotte (well technically Concord) t0 watch Perry at the Richard Petty Driving Experience and do some shopping at Concord Mills. I think Perry had a good time and it was awesome to get to go in the infield of the track. Here are my favorite pictures from the day:




Of course no trip to Concord Mills is complete with out a trip to the LEGO store.


One of these days I'll build something will all of my tan bricks...

10195

I'm still building through the stuff I picked up at Brick Magic. Tonight I finished the Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker, #10195. I figured I should take some pictures, because I don't think it will stay together for too long.
