Update: Here is Part 2 of my Brick Fiesta 2011 Pics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A month ago, Brick Fiesta<\/a>, Texas’ first major LEGO convention was held in Austin, Texas, and I’m just now getting around to posting photos!<\/p>\n

Keep in mind the early photos I took were off in the color – the lighting was pretty bad, but the quality picks up in the next few batches after this.<\/p>\n

As always, clicking on the photos below will take you to a larger version of the photo. This is the full set<\/a> and will eventually have 100+ photos.<\/p>\n

\n“Modeled on the real life Neverwas Haul, a self-propelled 3-story Victorian House, piloted by a Pith helmeted crew, is a “steam punk” fantasy come to life.<\/p>\n

Ship on the left:<\/strong>
\nRepublic of Texas Navy Steamship-of-War Zavala
\nFirst Steamship-of-War in the Texas Navy and was built in 1836, commissioned in 1839, and decomissioned in 1842. She was based out of Galveston, Texas, and had a crew of 24 officers and 123 sailors and Marines, with 5 cannon. Wikipedia article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ship in the middle is fictional and named the “RTS Legomalee” and the ship on the right is a fictional Texas version of the ironclads from the Civil War.<\/p>\n

The major vendors were in attendance and it was rather nice to see the items and minifigs up close and personal rather than viewing them on websites or in magazines:<\/p>\n

Over all I was very happy and look forward to Brick Fiesta 2012. I’m hoping to have a much more active role in next year’s Brick Fiesta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
