\"\"<\/a>Over at A Look at LEGO podcast<\/a>, a friend of mine, Paul Janssen (COLTC<\/a>) was interviewed<\/a> about building the Ohio State University horseshoe… I haven’t seen it in person yet, but I know it’s a monster build. \u00a0I vaguely remember when he announce to the LUG that he was going to build it, so it was nice to\u00a0reminisce.<\/p>\n

Thinking about monster LEGO buildings reminded me of a presentation that I gave at BrickMagic ’10, on Building Commissions<\/a>. \u00a0I had uploaded it to BrickBuildr, but under the ‘downloads<\/a>‘ section, I guess I forgot to add a link — it’s there now.<\/p>\n

I should update the presentation a little, there’s more information I could add, now that we’ve completed the Miami Children’s Hospital build… updated photos of the model, a small picture gallery of source images, a quick snapshot of architecture drawings we used, etc., to give a rough idea of the process we go through for building a large model. \u00a0It sounds like a similar process Paul went through to build the horseshoe, but he was a one man builder, whereas we had 4 builders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On a side note, our LUG is getting ready for Star Wars Celebration VI<\/a>. \u00a0Which means I’ve been a slacker, and only have a few weeks left to build. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0I’ve started on project if you haven’t seen it in my Flickr stream — I’m a little further along than what’s pictured here, but not much…<\/p>\n

If you’re going to be in town for Star Wars Celebration, give us a shout out.<\/p>\n\n
