02-18 Lego Town!

Here is Brian’s Lego Town that he has been ‘off-n-on’ working on since last summer. Only 3 buildings in the back are Lego kits but everything else is his own custom designs.

The cool part is each floor of every building is furnished  & nests into the lower floor.

It was almost finished Tuesday but Michaela complained that one toilet in an upstairs apartment wasn’t enough for a whole town. Brian lost the “Lego biology’ debate that ensued and had to make an office building with two large public bathrooms. But with that & a last minute addition of a central park, it is finally done.

(At some later date he’ll make & post a photo album of close ups of each building & all the inside furnishings.)

02-16 Sleeping Preacher

Look's like Michaela was playing with Brian's Lego church.  She said, "Here's what happens with the kids when the preacher & teacher fall asleep."

P.S. There is a lot more Lego awesomeness to come.

02-13 McIlroy Lego Stores

Here is Brian's Lego tribute to his Grandparents stores they ran in the 50s & 60s in Dublin, TX. These two models are part of his larger model town he made.

Here is what the Ford dealership 'looked' like. There is Granddad in the window !

The garage in back

.

The T-Bird in the showroom.

There's Grandmother at the grocery store down the street.

The well stocked inside of the store.

And the happy couple in their heyday.

BTW, here is what the real buildings looked like. 

01-27 Lego Construction

Brian is working on two Lego models of his grandparents businesses from the 50s & 60s.  He's having "fun" working off of black and white photos to make colorful models. =)
He did make a lime green grocery store model but he thought he heard his Grandpa groaning from the grave, so he is making another in more "appropriate colors".

01-23 Mic's Lego House

More Lego's!  Only this time Mic is getting her hand in it.  She takes after her dad when it comes to building things without instructions.  And as always she is right in the middle of the walkway. AND of course she is working with pink Lego's. She had enough pink Lego's to make it all pink but she said she didn't want it to be all pink.

01-16 Lego BBQ

Happy Birthday to my dad!! I won't mention the awesome age you are. ;-)

Today I took a picture of one of Brian's Lego creations.  It started out as just the camp fire and just got bigger as the day went on.  His imagination is unstoppable. You'll notice Brian shows up several times (all the guys in Hawaiian shirts are Brian's Lego alter ego).  I think he is dreaming (surfing, off roading, grilling stuff, and chillin' with a bunch of babes) and we have a dog roasting a cat.
