Today I completed a project that I started approximately two months ago. My wife and I are expecting our first born towards the end of 2009 and the theme for the nursery is the ABC's. I grew up with LEGO (mostly classic castle and space) and I am an active AFOL collector (Star Wars and City), so I wanted to incorporate LEGO into the nursery theme and decided to design and build the first three letters of the alphabet (A, B, & C).

My intent for each letter was to also incorporate an object that began with each letter (A for apple, B for boat, and C for candle). I also wanted to incorporate minifigures into each letter since for me, minifigures are a big part of the LEGO universe and to not have them included would be blasphemy!

Wall space was the driving factor for the project, so in order to be efficient with the wall space in the nursery without sacrificing a lot of detail a 10 inch square green baseplate was used for each letter. My wife found 10 inch square (inside dimensions) shadow boxes that would serve as the frames for each letter. Each baseplate fits snugly inside each shadow box. The shadow boxes have a hinged door in the front for easy access to the inside. The door stays closed with a magnet. The depth of each shadow box can accommodate the equivalent thickness of a baseplate, two bricks, and a plate. Any more than this and the front door cannot be closed. I had to construct several mock-ups in order to determine what could and could not fit during the design phase. So I only purchased one shadow box during the mock up phase and to work out the bugs in the design before purchasing the remaining shadow boxes.

I used MLCAD Version 3.20 in order to design each letter. Once the design was complete, I made a trip to the local LEGO store and made purchases from multiple Bricklink stores to obtain the baseplates, bricks, plates, and other accessories needed for construction.

I estimate that the design and troubleshooting time took approximately 30 hours spread out several weekday evenings and weekends. Construction time took approximately three hours.

Here are the pictures of the final product. Enjoy!

I will be making some hoth scenes and some castle scenes and hopefully some pirate scenes.

And my big project due to start in 6 years is a true scaled Hogwarts.

And after that a truly scaled minas tirith.

Yep the last two would take ages and cost a lot but its been my dream.
