GoggleWorks Building 6

Digital renders of building six at the GoggleWorks.

I decided to play with the animation renders in Studio.

Reference photos for the project.

Blobfest 2020: The Home Edition

For the last several years I have been attending Blobfest — a local festival celebrating the movie the Blob at the theater shown in the classic film. Each year I set up my LEGO MOCs of the Colonial Theatre featuring a minifigure run out, the Downingtown Diner and some other MOCs featuring bits from the movie including a brick built Blob.

This year due to COVID-19 they are having a stay at home edition of Blobfest. So I created a new digital MOC of the festival’s street fair using my theatre MOC and two LEGO modular sets (the brick bank and the new bookshop).

You can see the street vendors (food, collectibles, t-shirts), a car show, retro roadmaps camper, and a minifgure run out from the theatre and a smaller brick blob (can’t not have him).

Super excited that the folks at the Colonial and Blobfest liked this display enough to share it on Facebook and Instagram.

Part of the fun is that they are including us at home. Having an at home run out, costume contest, Miss Blobfest, and Blob Across America. I did a quick stop motion video with my sigfig for that.

Another Addition to the Cemetery

As a fan of Poe (as seen by some of my MOCs) I follow a few Poe related pages on Facebook. The other day The Virtual Poe Toaster shared a photo of a really cool tombstone so I had to add it to my LEGO cemetery.

This is the grave of Dr. Betts in Trenton, NJ. He must have been a Poe fan as well.

Charles Evans Cemetery

I already have a pretty large LEGO cemetery and nowhere to display it, but I am reworking it now to include monuments inspired by real cemeteries.

First up are a few from a local cemetery, the Charles Evans Cemetery in Reading, PA.

I started out with renders in Studio and I am now in the process of building them.

First images are the renders followed by the reference photos I used to create the MOCs.
