jmacias Posted March 11, 2007 Well I'm preparing my fleet for the coimbra event, a few ships and a few mocs: I have 3 ships more, and 3 boats with sails... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted March 12, 2007 You've got some interesting looking forts Mr Jmacias, could you tell us more about the Coimbra event? Like where, when and who is running it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmacias Posted March 12, 2007 This is the half I will carry, no time to take more photos!!! http://forum0937.miniancora.com/coimbra/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted March 12, 2007 Unfortunately the majority of users at Eurobricks don't speak Portuguese and therefore will not be able to understand the information contained on that webpage. However, from what I gather its an exhibition on the 24th of March featuring a range of LEGO themes ranging from Pirates to City and Technic to MindStorms. Participants can display as many creations as they like but they need to let the organisers know how much space they will require by the 9th of March. As an added bonus there will be security and you can even get an exclusive T shirt and there will even be refreshments! It would be best however if we could get someone fluent in Portuguese to confirm that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmacias Posted March 12, 2007 Hi Mister Phes, sorry about my "short" reply, my boss was near :) It's the first time I go to an event, I will carry about 8 pirate ships, 10 boats (3 with sails) and 5 land Mocs. I have changed almost all sets, I don't like gray and black in pirate MOCs, so I use to change this color to other brown, white, red, etc... The main problem I will have is to put all this sets in my car!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new event's webpage is this: http://coimbra0937.miniancora.com I think that the refreshments (little gifts?) are only to kids that visit the event! The other informations are correct, but at this moment we are full of lego creations :). Agnelo is organizing this, so he have the info about all MOCs that will be there.

pedroagnelo Posted March 12, 2007 Hi everybody! I believe this to be my first post here on EB, so forgive me for the out-of-place intro. My name is Pedro Agnelo, 24 and I live in Coimbra. I'm the event organizer so if you have any questions please do email me from the event page (click my name). I did have plans to make an "international" (english) version of the page, but I didn't have enough time... I will post a link here after the show for the pictures. As for the Technic fans such as myself, this is the moc I'll be presenting: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2372351 (and that's the small version...) If I find the time i'll post links for the other mocs that will be present Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pedroagnelo Posted March 12, 2007 Wow, thats an impressive MOC you will be demonstrating. Thanks! Do you have any idea about the amount of people that will be displaying their MOCs?How big is the floorspace you have foreseen? I have about 15 people confirmed to display their MOCs, (not many but almost all of them have huge displays like Juan here). Anyway I'm sure there will be more people joining later this week, as some people couldn't confirm early enough for professional reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
