2012 - Town Pavilion + City Hall mashup, LDC Kansas City, MO
.
I wrote in my last post that most of this model design was a 3D model with LEGO-friendly measurements for the builders to follow. But certain portions of the design were quicker and easier to design physically and give to the builders to copy into the final glued #legomodel. For most #Miniland models in 2019 #LEGODigitalDesigner (and to a degree LEGO Brickbuilder) has by and large replaced the need for physical prototyping- elements can be quickly duplicated, and finished digital design files can be sent to any of our global model shops to be built. .
However there is still the odd model or detail here and there that we like to (or need to) mock up with actual #LEGO pieces to see how the real world tolerances actually work.

so, my boss hired me to take promo photos of my work, i dont think theyll like them at all, but these are my favourites of the set
July 2019 - Gnome model process
This model actually started off with a pencil sketch but it’s packed up somewhere for our impending move so I’ll have to show the true genesis later. The main idea was a garden gnome for @gnomeproblemo to add to her collection, and pack it with other things she loves. One of the ideas that got dropped for time was a #sockmonkey backpack.
One of my coworkers did a @roaminggnome #legomodel for a @travelocity promotion some years ago that served as the rough LEGO foundation of my model. You’ll see that it changed quite a bit throughout the process.
I also looked at female gnomes online for how to set the gift gnome apart.

The #digitaldesign of the #LEGO #gnome was completed with some slight tweaks to the sculpt of the face and hair, and all LDD pieces in position. I planned the model to only use #legoelements already on hand- only needed to order a couple of #LEGO pieces for the #iPhone !
.
With that, the model design was finished and ready to be built! I’ll share a couple of those shots next update and that’ll do it for this model! #staytuned

The sculpt of the LEGO gnome was further refined with hair added and some pieces trimmed out so the head could also be tipped straight without any pieces colliding, and the LDD components have been added into the regular bricks and plates.
As with most models for LEGOLANDs and other attractions, we try to keep things as hollow as safely possible to avoid wasting brick (and exorbitant shipping costs!) This gift was no different.
July 2019 - Gnome model process
This is several hours into the digital design process for the #LEGO #gnome gift model. We use proprietary #brickbuilding software for our #legoland model creation and I had challenged myself on this particular model to design it completely digitally with no physical prototyping, which is what I expected of my @merlinmagicmaking LEGO design team.
I hadn’t decided yet at this point how pointy the ears would be coming out of the female gnome’s hair and you can see the options on either side of this draft.

2012 - Microscale Kansas City, MO mashup
Last year I posted a microscale version of one Kansas City Missouri project I delivered. This is another #microscale #legomodel rendition of two noteworthy buildings that were mashed together as one deliverable minifig scale model I designed for @ldcnorthamerica Kansas City, MO which opened in 2012.

I mentioned before how lighting this trans blue is a challenge, but we were incredibly proud of how it turned out, even if it took some extra work.

Thank you for humoring me with this deep dive through the #LEGO #modeldesign process! Hope you liked what you saw and learned something new!

2012 - Town Pavilion + City Hall mashup, LDC Kansas City, MO

At that point of my design career the #legoland #modelshops were generally transitioning to more digital design tools. #Brickpaper was still around but starting to quickly phase out. @LEGO ‘s own proprietary design and build software was maturing and becoming more common but not every model needed them.
.
This model was designed almost entirely in #Rhino3D with some supplemental details built as physical prototypes for the builders to incorporate. We had a dimension template for Rhino that included LEGO-friendly dimensions for bricks, plates, and studs. You can see in this pic on little dimension near the bottom for “7.7 LB” which was 7 2/3 LEGO bricks or 7 bricks and 3 LEGO plates. All the dimensions in this 3D model were massaged around to reach LEGO-compatible measurements.
.
This model also had the added challenge of needing to install in sections around a support column in the middle of #miniland, mostly hiding it in the final skyline view.

I recently got some padding compound and I am now a crazy pad-making fool. These are a couple of prototypes I am working on. I really like the one on the right. It is my handwriting, so it feels the most like a page would look if I just made a list, you know? I am already coming up with all kinds of ideas for this.
so i wanted to see if i could post five pictures in a row of lavender or puple flowers. mission accomplished. i had a fabulous day - complete sensory overload - at the missouri botanical gardens. i was in st. louis for work last week and was able to see a few touristy things over the weekend.
you just have to view this large on black.
explore!
So my work wants to buy a bunch of my prints to decorate the office, which is rather cool all in all :)
One of the things they wanted was a diptych of two of my old shots, however I had lost the original post office shot (whoops). A quick bit of retaking today however and looks like I'm on track for this one.
I never thought of using this set as a diptych but it seems to work. What do you think?

Simple Hairstyles For Long Hair is scorching, and that's the reason many ladies desire to put on prolonged, free-flowing tresses relatively than the favored brief types of the day. But lengthy hair also can turn into boring. In reality, boredom is the primary purpose why ladies get bored with ...

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg: Iron gate on part of the Palais Grand Ducal.
I just returned from a week-long visit to Luxembourg for work. I managed to take some photos in the few spare moments I had. . .
Try it large.
I’m going to share a couple of posts on the process of designing this 2012 mashup model of Kansas City Missouri’s Transamerica/Town Pavilion Tower with City Hall.

Research trips and google image trawling gather the necessary reference material for every #miniland project we work on.#

#legoland #legomodels don’t just build themselves. The #TownPavilion + City Hall mashup model was worked on by a team of elite #legomodelbuilders who built stackwork (hundreds of component windows), assembled and glued the main model, and lit it up.
.
A #funfact about this model is that lighting was difficult because we really figured out just how hard LEGO’s transparent blue color (trans dark blue on Bricklink) is to get light through. More than any other transparent color it sucks up everything you can throw at it. Keep that in mind when you see it successfully illuminated a couple of posts from now.

So today the adults at my school wore pink in support of a colleague who has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I got a lot of stares today as I actually wore my pink wig all day at school and durin the student-teacher basketball game. (which we won!)
I had a super busy day today. Got to work at 7, taught most of the day, played in the game starting at 1:30, dismissed the kiddos at 3, then had a math workshop meeting until 4:15. Then I ran to my scrappin' up meeting and made some cute items. Next I went to meet up with friends for my sandwich, went to Sears to return something and got home to do my pictures... I'm exhausted... and sad because I can't find Rock Band 2 anywhere and was told that it was discontinued today, although I can't find any official word. Stupid video game companies.
Random Fact: It still feels like I'm wearing that wig.
Last year had a winter wonderland in the morning, followed by rain...
Wednesday, 24 March 2021. Moving my gear back to the gas-saver forwork. I had two jobs scheduled, but one moved to Friday. I planned on working in the yard this morning, but didn't. River woke up the whole family around 1:30 AM with a yelp that sounded like she was dieing. It must have been a bad dream. I couldn't get back to sleap after that, and finally got up at 3:30. Chris and I made breakfast. We went back to bed at 5:30. I was up again around 8:30, but didn't feel very rested.
Our hand-made "tag cloud" of brainstorming ideas at the TLA Transforming Libraries summit. To the left was my contribution, a phrase mentioned by the keynote speakers that resonated.
Shayna, 7, plays at Bicentennial Park in Ormond-By-The-Sea, Florida on Thursday, November 5, 2008. In the last year and a half, since a brain tumor was discovered, Shayna has been through radiation, chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. She's become a new kid since she got off all the drugs that made such intensie hospital treatment bearable and she's even started back to school. A recent MRI shows that the cancer has returned and her mother has made the decision that Shayna will have no more interventional treatments to beat back the cancer. (Sean McNeil)
