Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Building with the Bay Area Lego Users Group: BAYLUG”.
Our members make lego creations of all types ranging from spaceships to cars, to buildings and trains, and you name it. We can build it in lego. I built the battleship yamato. There’S your american planes right there and i’m going to make an aircraft carrier.
That’S going to. Basically be the same size of this battleship, the battleship weighs 50 pounds. It’S eight feet long. It’S got over 25 000 bricks. These are the gray and red fleet.
They were started out as an experiment in combining bionicle and lego together to see how the the various sorted uh systems would work together. They’Re sort of a combination of star wars, star trek, babylon 5 ships stuck together, the club puts down the tables and the train track and all the members bring in various buildings and creations that they voted to populate the space. It has about 250 members about, half of them are kids and about half of them still think they are. Our meetings are open to the public. We have meetings every other month, either in palo alto or in san leandro. We usually have a kid activity which could be coaster, races from lego, cars that are built on the spot or, for example, build a tower and shake it on a little earthquake table play and build stuff that you’ve never thought you could create before you .
