We love our Lego and we want to show you some fantastic stuff we've been creating over here in Perth, Western Australia. In late 2007, a small group of like-minded adult Lego enthusiasts met up Sunday mornings to create a train and town layout for the 2008 Model Train Show. We won Most Popular Exhibit and had a great time running the display. A few more people have joined the group since then, allowing us to build bigger and better displays filled with unique creations. We've been adding a few more images of the latest layout and a few other models. More is coming in the following months leading up to June, when we pack up and head to Claremont Showgrounds for the Model Train Show. Lots to do still so keep checking back. UPDATE!! It's Official! We won Most Popular Exhibit at the 2009 Perth Model Railway Show!!
What's New... July 2009: We Won! The public voted on their favourite display at the Perth Model Railway Show, apparently we scored about 6000 votes, around 10 000 people attended and not all of them voted. It was a landslide! Congratulations to everyone involved in making a fantastic Lego display! Dismantling and sorting of our winning layout is mostly done now, so it's on to planning and building the next layout. Stay tuned... June 2009: The Model Railway Show has come and gone! Take a look at how our display came together here Click HERE to see a great video of the whole Train Show with a few cool shots of our layout (Click on Model Rail once there) . The Bridge was a fantastic success! The structure held itself up while ropes prevented any sideways motion. Other highlights included the Live 8 concert which always drew a crowd, the huge cruise liner and the theme park with all it's moving rides. Lots of fantastic comments from the public with crowds often 3-deep around our display. May 2009: The Refinery is finished, check out the pics at the bottom of this page. The Suburbs are now well underway, see the latest here A new train station is under construction using monorail track in a unique way. The Theme Park construction is gathering momentum, a few sideshow stalls can be seen here. April 2009: The Bridge is up! The arch section supported it's own weight, no twisting or other major probs. It's going to be an awesome sight once complete. Have a look at how the refinery is progressing, just some small details to add before it's done. Mark has built some fantastic buildings, check out his growers market soon to be filled with produce. Suburbia is under-way, see some of Paradise City's ritzier dwellings in the early stages of construction. |
