Hobby Show at Shearwater

The show today was awesome so far. A few friends came up to me and had a chat.  As well as a few guiys from Hal-Con 2010 came over, suited up in awesome armor, so they asked me to wear the Boba Fett Suit tomorrow, so I guess I will.  Off to fix some bugs in the RCX program for my Hoth display.  Chow for now.

Hal-Con 2011 Display in Nov 2011

NOVALUG will NOT be having a display at Hal-Con 2011 this coming year. It runs Nov 12 and 13th, 2011. It's at the Trade Centre in Halifax, and exhibit Pricing is just too high for a non-for profit group like ourselves, too be able to display our work on a six foot table. Instead, that weekend we will be at the Dartmouth Sportsplex Annual Model Train and LEGO show, where we can much much more LEGO and display.  It was nice to participate last year at Hal-Con and have that experience as well as meet so many great people.

I have been very busy for the past month and have not had alot of time dedicated to videos.  Partly because i ordered a few dvd's full of licenced music for the videos, but they still are not here yet.  I wanted to be able to get that into some videos very soon.  But anyways I have Episode 4007 ready and should be posted tonight.  How to light up the Millennium Falcon (15 min).  Enjoy!

Legoland California

NEW Star Wars area at Legoland California to open soon:

A new "Star Wars" themed area at Legoland California with 2,000 Lego models will take visitors chronologically through scenes from the epic film saga.

Scheduled to make its debut March 31, the new "Star Wars" area will be part of the Carlsbad kiddie park's Miniland, park officials said Thursday. It will feature animated scenes from the six movies in the series and the "Clone Wars" television cartoon -- complete with special effects and sound effects.

Eight model makers and two animators based at Legoland Germany have been working for a year with Lucasfilm to create 1:20 scale versions of iconic "Star Wars" characters, spacecraft and landscapes using 1.5 million Lego bricks.

In addition to posing for photos with life-size Lego models of Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Darth Vader, visitors will be able to wander through seven Lego-fied "Star Wars" scenes, including:

Episode I: Naboo
Battle scenes at the royal palace and a flight hangar feature a duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul.

Episode II: Geonosis
Obi-Wan, Padme Amidala and Anakin Skywalker battle creatures in the Geonosis arena while nearby a battle unfolds between a droid army and Republic fighters.

Episode III: Kashyyyk and Mustafar
A battle rages on the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk while Obi-Wan and Anakin engage in a fateful duel on the volcanic planet of Mustafar.

Episode IV: Tatooine
Obi-Wan, C-3PO and R2-D2 appear at Luke Skywalker's childhood home in addition to scenes featuring the Mos Eisley Cantina band and Han Solo's Millennium Falcon.

Episode V: Hoth
Imperial AT-ATs as well as Rebel snow speeders and X-wing fighters can be found on the icy planet of Hoth along with Luke, Han, Darth Vader and Princess Leia.

Episode VI: Endor
The Rebel Alliance defeats the evil Empire on the Ewok's forest moon of Endor.

In a scene that chronologically takes place between Episodes II and III, Jedi Knights Anakin and Obi-Wan appear amid an 8-foot-tall Crystal City building.
