My display from Brickworld Indy (media.piefed.world)

As always, it was a great turn out, and a terrific experience! A few highlights that I can currently recall. A child saw my battle scene and said, "I love this!" The mother replied with a perplexed tone, "you do?" The child responded with an astounding "yes!"🤣 I feel I may have scarred a few attendees, both parents and kids. I signed a few autographs and caught up with my regulars I see at Indy. Another thing I can recall on Saturday was a mother and her 2 kids stared at my display and their eyes glazed over with bewliderment. After 10 minutes or so of utter disbelief they walked away and about 20 minutes later they came back. The mother exclaimed, "Every other display we kept going to the boys kept saying I want to go back to the squ1ddos display, over and over." I felt quite special after hearing that, so I gave them 2 tokens I created for the displays I liked. Their eyes lit up sooo wide and she greatly appreciated the gesture. As I can recall more I will comment.

May I ask how you package and transport these beauties? I could barely get a bouquet build home in one piece, and your designs have so many tiny pieces and bits to bump!

Looks incredible as always, thanks for sharing.

Understandable. I have my builds configured with modularity. Each section has its own box and corresponding elements. Setup took 7 hours and teardown one hour. I am starting to get a science down for setup/teardown.

Ah those are much more broken down than I was expected! Well designed. Wow 7 hours of setup though, I had little understanding of the effort required for each show display. That's awesome. Keep killin it and thanks for showing

Yeah, it would have been a little less, but one of my smaller builds crumbled in my hands as I was working on it, so mix that with 2.5 of sleep, and driving 4 hours was a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately I don't think I will be doing anymore Brickworld shows this year. Yeah, I was telling the attendees you can make anything, it is a whole other creature when you have to transport it. Yeah, would you like to see a teardown video of this build?

I love the "space marine" designs. Same color theme like some of the old space sets I had in my childhood! Just love that neon-green.

Yeah, those colors really speak to me and that display is called, 'Blacktron's Last Stand, The Invasion of Arachnis' People were blown away or scared when they realized there were spiders on the layout.. then their demeanor was either astonished, or terrified.
