Behind the scenes @ BrickCon 2014

[henrysunset]

I've been attending the BrickCon Public Expo in Seattle for years, but had never displayed my models before or participated in the longer 4-day Private Convention. I just completed an in-depth write-up that goes "behind the scenes" at one of the largest and oldest LEGO conventions for AFOL's.

Some of my highlights:

Seeing large LEGO models get re-assembled was really interesting.

I loved playing the LEGO games like the "Blind Build" shown here.

Displaying my models for the first time to the Public was really cool.

As always, there were impressive new models on display at the Public Exhibition.

I hope you find this behind the scenes look at BrickCon to be interesting. If you got to attend too, what was your highlight from the show?

Sincerely,

Thanks for the article and photos....great stuff! Reminded me of BrickCon two years ago.

It is great that you share with us your architect's eye for LEGO. Architecture is such a fantastic series of sets and a topic that interests most of us adults.
