Back-to-back cons in a single weekend, part the second

[melaniesuzanne]

The second con, of a sort, over the first weekend of August was BrickFair at the Dulles Expo Center where the beau and I oohed and aahed and coveted many lovely Lego structures. I'm kicking myself for not taking any photographs because the fantasy castles and Steampunk cities on display were so gorgeous and the memories of them are fading too quickly. One vignette that I do remember featured the Haunted House set that I have with the addition of a full fence, cemetery, and spooky trees. I can totally do that! But Hyrule Castle, the Ewok village, the Steampunk city in the clouds, and the Pharaoh's tomb... They were so intricate and whimsical. I'll definitely have to take photos next year.

We went to that, too. Did you see the Lego model of the Vatican?

I don't recall. Was it with the architecture sets?

It was towards the front of the hall, on the left as you come in, but in a separate area from the skyscrapers. It was enormous. You'd have remembered it. It was really nifty. :)

I am now going to scour the internet for possible photos. Steampunk cloud city? I must see that.
