[Dang. I had a nice post written, and my computer went wonky, and I lost it. Trying again…]
I missed Q1, but don’t want to totally forget about this project. So let’s talk.
1) Builders – looks like @bacon1986, @howhardcoulditb, @arcadiumsol, @zaximillian, @tfdesigns, myself, and possibly @skippermike (you said Brad’s your barber, not that you wanted to build 😉 ) So that’d mean at least 5-6 MOCs. Not bad!
2) Bricks – once we get LDD files / instructions, should be easy enough to pull what we can from LUG inventory, then either donate or place a Bricklink order for the rest. We could make it strictly the parts to build the exact models, or could throw in some random bricks too…
3) Instructions – does everyone have access to LDD? If not, we’ll have to figure out how to get your designs uploaded – loan the model to a volunteer who has the software? Tom, did you generate those sweet instructions from LDD?
Also – if we’re printing 4-page instructions like Tom’s sample for 5-7 MOCs, that’s a lot of paper. Can we do it smaller than 8.5×11″? Maybe make those into half pages, so each one could be a single sheet of 8.5×11 front & back?
4) Box – the red 2×2 would definitely work, or Brad said he could find a cigar box.
5) Timeline – Do people have their MOCs ready to go? If so, I’d say let’s shoot for April 15 to finish the instructions and start sourcing parts, and April 30 to have it ready to go.
6) Promotion – I’d say we include some of our business cards, obviously. A small writeup could be nice, too.
What am I missing?
