"Zoinks"

Saturday mornings were a big deal when I was a kid (yeah, WAY back then). Kids today can't understand the struggle that was kid friendly television back then. We waiting all week for some decent TV, and you can bet we weren't going to miss it. Scooby Doo was a big part of that, and we looked forward to the adventures of Scooby and the gang. Builder BRICK 101 understands how important these two are, and has immortalized them in Brickheadz form. Not only that, but he shows how to build them in this video, check it out.

VirtuaLUG Putt Putt

For Brickworld 2016, VLUG opted to scale things back a bit from previous years, and focus more on individual creativity.  What better way to accomplish that goal than to build our own Mini-Land Plus Putt-Putt golf course!  Fearless leader Dave Kaleta took the helm again.  But unlike the Wizard of Oz collaboration which required very specific scenes and exacting standards, this year's concept left a lot up to the individual builders.   As long as you had your tee box and a path, you were good to go.  So from Cthulhu to Gamma Trianguli VI, the VLUG crew certainly didn't disappoint!

Double Zoinks!

When I blogged the Mystery Machine yesterday I had no idea it was part of a larger display, and I mean a much larger display. This thing is huge and hugely awesome. Check out all the detail, there's monsters and ghoulies everywhere you look, and check out that haunted house! I need to learn French so I can read all about this.
