Hey guys,

In less than two weeks, TEXLug will be holding a public display as part of the Health Baby and Child Expo in San Antonio, Texas. If you're near the area, feel free to stop on by!

Ulmaris Castle was well-received, as was all the MOCs.

Great stuff! I especially like that (sand?) blue mansion, and Ulmaris of course.

My fav. is that sand-blue building also. How much did it cost you to buy all those bricks (sand blues) and through bricklink?

Here is a thread that Anthony concocted about his towers. Its very informative. Those towers are pretty cool. :)

Actually, when Tony was at Brickfest last year, he picked up a box of sand blue bricks that I ordered from LEGO. The box contained almost 6000 pieces for about $90. The windows were expensive (0.20/piece), and the roof required several Bricklink orders (about 600 roof pieces). The whole building has about 12,000 pieces.
