      um wow the jealousy is strong right now. this Hp display section sounds amazing and I so wish I could collab!

      @greg where did you get the transparent figs? that’s a great touch to the battle scene!

      someone should make a bleeding unicorn with someone drinking from it within the trees lol can’t forget that forbidden forest scene

          Maybe I can drop it off to Tim.

          @tcsbgdady, certainly you can drop it off to me (or I can come pick it up) sometime the week of October 7.

          OK Tim. Let’s figure out a night that works that week then. Thanks!

            Okay, so I know I’ve been quiet but I have been keeping an eye on this. Using the information you guys have posted, I have broken the display into these sections

            HP Graveyard
            Creepy house with Mystery Machine
            Forbidden Forest
            Fall Farm & Punkin’ patch

            I am going to make up a rough bluebrick plan and post it tomorrow. Do we want to do another walk-around display like we did last year?

              HP Graveyard
              Creepy house with Mystery Machine

              the graveyard is 32×64
              the creepy house is 48 x 64

              I also have a haunted house (32×32) and a crypt (16×16) with light-up, trans-orange, floating pumpkins that has been there the last two years, to contribute.

              Finally, if its NOT walk around, I have a yellow full moon on a black background to use as a backdrop behind the graveyard.

                @laura, the stuff I have I’ve built so far for the Forbidden Forest will pretty much cover one full LUG table. Adding in @greg’s HP graveyard, @tcsbgdady’s Burrow and some additional large spiders, plus a couple of baseplates worth of trees from @timf, then we should plan on 2 full LUG tables for the HP related stuff on the bluebrick. Thanks!

                Personally, I like the “walk-around” display.

                  I’m not a fan of the walk around display, but that’s because my Haunted house doesn’t have a finished back to it.

                      Thanks to the hard work of @pnbrenem the ravine is back and ready for action! Let’s make it a spooky scene!

                        Or wait, I see there’s no double track section and you’d have to redo the layout…up to you.

                            This might be the closest you could get, as a purist. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sh105#T=S&O={“iconly”:0}

                              Actually I got them back when Tim and I were collaborating on a Great Hall with the intent of having the floating jack-o-lanterns in the ceiling; I also wanted to have Hogwarts’ resident ghosts present. 🙂

                                    I will not be able to be at set up on Friday but I will be able to do Saturday morning. I should be there by around 9:30 am. I have Jim’s The Burrow set and a bunch of spiders for the Forbidden Forest. I will also have a few baseplates of trees (need to get those finished) to contribute as well. Looking forward to seeing the display!

                                        I’ll be sure to leave space. How big is Jim’s Burrow, 1 baseplate or more??

                                          Me neither! I am planning to be there fri night. I have the animated haunted house, the ghost train, the pumpkin trolley, my other trolleys and a couple miscellaneous other things. I will also bring my 9v track just in case.

                                            It’s the set, so it will fit on 1 baseplate.

                                              Phil and I are working on getting everything to the museum around 1p or so. I see 12 tables on the bluebrick. anything else we want to make sure goes?

                                              I plan on sending ALL the MILS plates that we got, and whoever is staffing can build a bunch of them, either with the green 4×4 or whites, for the winter displays coming. lots of parts to mils the baseplates and even the tracks.

                                              If we do have the q4 meeting on the 2nd, I think we’ll do a build day out of it too, to make sure we have everything we need. /threadjack

                                                Great idea to have an available LUG task for possible down time!

                                                    If you have room, it never hurts to have spare LUG baseplates (not to be MILS’d), 9v track, speed controllers, connecting wires and power supplies. I know Tom and Laura will have a bunch, but it never hurts to have some spares just in case. I’m bringing my Hogwarts Express to run around the HP area, but will need track and the other stuff for that loop.

                                                    Greg is dropping his stuff off at my house after school, and then I’m heading down. Should be there around 4:30 or so.

                                                      Josh and I dropped off the LUG stuff. The LUG does not have 9V track so I brought mine. It is in a purple box along with some baseplates. The baseplates are marked with my initials on a sticker, the track is not. Both are available for use as needed. If the track is used, it might be nice to keep it all in one area such as the HP area so that it is easier to distinguish at teardown.
