Dunechaser - That'd be great addition. We are working on a little bit larger jousting area but there is no reason we can't have multiple jousts going on.

JCool - Any of those you mentioned would be great. Some other ideas blacksmiths, a feast, some vendors, carts.

So much so that I've built a tent already (pictures pending) and am looking t...

Depending on the size, how modular/sectional , what is "fixed" down, how tall it is and a few other factors you could either transport it flat or stand some of it on end to conserve space. Also of course what size of vehicle has a large factor on what you can bring. I have a van and I happ...

NWBrickCon will be in Seattle Oct. 5, 6 and 7

Sorry for my late response to planning NWBC life has been extremely busy! Really I didn't fall off the world! :shock:

I think I'll start a new thread for planning.

And yes Ted's idea sounds great! :D

Great scene Tony! It's nice to see other themes displayed with trains I'm always trying to do that at our train shows. As others have said those trees are great! I also grabbed a bunch of those white leaves right when I saw them on Bricklink. I made a couple of trees one of which I had in my Medieva...

Talking about shades look at the leaf pieces on the BURPs in the front of 7094. In this shot they blend in with the dark green on the burps... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2353802 And in this final version they look much lighter... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2...

Alright, I think that if I was to leave around noon Sunday (or even at four, if things work out) that would work. I will double check on that and get back to you pronto! Thanks. Oops! :oops: I'm sorry of course that would work out too. I guess I was just thinking about the public hours and that we ...

MaxiVisVires - Your angry mob looks great and would be great near one of the towns being ransacked. I agree that we would not want it near the edge of the display. During public hours there should be enough of us around to keep the public mob back! :lol: What time will things be wrapping up on Sunda...

Well with the room we have to work with I hope we can have at least 2 hopefully 3 villages with 10+ homes each. One or two of those burning and being ransacked would be great. :twisted: I'll try my hand at a burning building.

Excellent Caylin thanks! I agree with Brendan that we need to have our figs doing something and yes we should open it up to everyone would like to be included. Caylin I can work with you on that if you'd like. CCC buildings would probably be the most needed item. True my buildings got spread pretty ...

MaxiVisVires - Welcome aboard Remyth - A fig exchange sounds like a great idea. I hadn't thought of a sig-fig photo shoot probably because before NWBC 2006 there would of only been a couple figs there. Sounds like another great idea. Does someone want to organize this? Darkie? :D Thomas Rafert Brick...

I'm looking at maybe attending too. I have several CCC style homes/buildings and am willing to bring together castle sections or whatever (gate-house, etc...) I am also Remyth's big brother (over 18), while not a legal guardian would that count for this? Just a reminder though, I am still not absol...
