The “NewfoundLUG and a Love of LEGO” panel at Sci-fi on the Rock in 2019 was our most successful panel to date.

We had over 30 attendees, and our members participated in a great Q&A session after our presentation.

Congratulations to the presenters!

There will be a meeting of NewfoundLUG on Wednesday, November 7th at 7pm at the new Bricks and Minifigs location at 45 Blackmarsh Road! As always, in addition to the agenda, feel free to bring in a new build to show off!  New members are welcome!

Agenda:

• Winter Show
• Christmas Social
• Logo

Back in August, CBC NL did an interview with NewfoundLUG members Matthew Zwicker and John Gillingham.  Check out the video to hear Matthew explain “What the heck is a LUG?” and hear John describe how NewfoundLUG got started.  The segment turned out great, with plenty of shots of member builds and sets.  Thank you to Bricks & Minifigs for lending space for the shoot, and to CBC NL!

NewfoundLUG, and a love of Lego

Who knew Lego could be art? This group in the St. John’s area get together to create NewfoundLUG – Lego Users Groups – because they love the creating scenes with the classic toys.

SHIPtember – Build a LEGO spaceship at least one hundred studs in length during the month of September.

One of our LUG members (Swoosh Factor) is taking on the SHIPtember challenge this year and is sharing his progress via Flickr.  Check out his build in the album below and keep an eye out for updates.

From the event organizers:

SHIPtember 2018

SHIPtember
One Month.
One Hundred (plus) studs.
Seriously HUGE.
Seriously FUN.

Build a SHIP must be 100 studs or longer between September 1st and October 1st. That’s it!

 What do I do? Simple! Start building your SHIP starting on Sept 1st, and start posting WIP shots as you go so everyone can all praise your guts for building a SHIP in a month!

Work in progress (WIP) shots should be posted in The SHIPyard

 And your final glory shots should be posted in the Finished Armada Thread

  Pre-SHIPtember Rule! – Start whenever!

Since a good portion of people are going off to school in September or otherwise disposed, you can start now as long as you start posting in the WIP thread – you have one month to finish.

 What is a SHIP? a S.H.I.P. is a Seriously Huge Investment in Parts and is at minimum 100 studs in length. Alternatively it has also been dubbed a S.eriously H.uge I.nvestement in T.ime…

 What scale should the SHIP be? Whatever floats your SHIP.

 Does it have to be space-ship

Yes.

The next meeting of NewfoundLUG will be at 7PM on Tuesday, August 7th at the Bricks and Minifigs store on Stavanger Drive. New members welcome! Not a member? Come by and see what we are all about!
