Choo choo

I think I might be ready for Shildon. I have the two new mosaics that I'm displaying. I have the QR code for the show. I have tokens. I have booked my pre-show hair cut. I'm ready. More-or-less. It's been an emotional roller coaster of a month, by which I mean the parts from Lego.com took longer to arrive than I'd have liked, made me wonder if they'd be here in time. They made it and "Basic Train-ing" is ready to go. She's heavy, about 8.5kg, I'm worried about the easels, they are rated at 10kg but I'm dubious. I'll likely use two anyway, it's very wide. I've also decided not to take my 2x postcard. I only booked two tables, apparently, and have decided to limit the display to the mosaics. I'll debut the postcard at Thirsk in February and take it to Bricktastic, also in February, hopefully alongside 3x. Speaking of Bricktastic, I realised that if I take all the mosaics I will have five single kanji pieces and the double kanji "Basic Train-ing", I think it would be cooler to have six single kanji mosaics, three on each side of "Basic Train-ing". So I designed a new one, just need to find a bunch of Lego swords for it now. Next up, design-wise, is the 3x postcard; a collab I'm doing for Edinbrick in May next year; and the first in a series of six 64x64 dioramas that join together to tell a story. It will be a mash-up of two Lego themes randomly picked by people I know. I'm not going to say which, I'll let y'all guess when I've finished it. Saying that, I am starting to think about a WiP gallery for the site, so maybe it will appear there. Excitingly, we'll be doing a live stream from Shildon, we'll be building the new Death Star, live. They'll be two of us building at any one time and we have 12 hours to assemble all 9,023 pieces. I signed up to build, turns out I'm also putting together the stream. I've set up OBS with two cameras, we might put the builder's name on there too. It's very basic, I kinda wish I'd been asked more than 2 days before though, I could have done so much with a little more time. Not least dug out Hüb. Is fine though, it seems Lego is pushing for more social media coverage of shows so I imagine this won't be our only opportunity for streaming shenanigans. I shall leave it there, I need to pack some GBC modules and other collabs. Laters, Clockson
