Virtual (or somewhat) display

Post by JacobS »

I was wondering if there were any way that any of you can think of that you could have a largescale display without actualy being there. Because I don't live near anywhere important. :roll:

Hey,

You can always find a place to display. For instance, you can ask at your school or local library. Perhaps there is a toy store you can display at. You might also find fellow LEGO fans to join in with you. Where are you, by the way?

As to virtual displays, why not set up a website or Brickshelf gallery? My site has >500000 hits, though I've only displayed a couple of things in person.

Good ideas, I may do a brickshelf, and if I can find some extra money laying around I may start a website.
FYI, I live in florida, north central florida, Lake City to be exact. There is pretty much nothing here so I think my only choice would be a digital display or something

Actually, I am in Tallahassee. If you can drive and are interested, we could do some around here.

Contact me via PM or email if you are interested.

well, I happen to have just turned 13 in october so I couldn't drive their but if something (a display or event) could be arranged I could find a way of getting there...

There is that lego store in orlando at downtown disney, as long as there are enough people interested and it is during a school holiday. Who knows?

There is also the mail. I have mailed MOCs to Lenny to include in a group display and gotten them back safe and sound. It's not the same thing as actually attending the display, but it was cool to see my creations in among the mix.

Also, be sure to send an email to GFLUG representatives. They'll send you notice of when they are doing shows. We just recently did a big show at Downtown Disney.

The show was Veteran's Day weekend - Nov 11 - 13.

I'll be posting pics eventually - I'm too lazy to resize right now.

Looking down at my gut, I'm afraid that laziness is the main reason I've resized over recent years. :D
