Rocko presents a new diorama: Easter Island crew is defending itself from the attack of sea monkeys. Beautifully nonsensical.

This post is to remember and to invite the AFOLs all over the world to visit the next Club Meeting of Comunidade 0937 taking place in 5, 6 and 7 September, 2008.

This event will take place in Viana do Castelo (North of Portugal) in the Youth Hostel of the city. There will be shown the most recent projects of the Community, such as the Modular City 0937, the new Community Castle display, the western display, contests, debates, theme presentations, the 0937 Water Quest (challenge between AFOLs with LEGO water guns ), and many other things. It will be also here that we will know the winners from the contest of the 50 year Brick by the hands of Jan Beyer.

If you are interested, go to the official site of the event where you can find all the information you need.

During the recent Kielce 2008 event, LUGPol’s AFOLs put together a nice diorama of small city (Klocki-Zdroj). Two blocks of houses, rail station, park, biker’s inn, industrial zone and many more, including even a baloon flying over the rooftops. 

Head over to the project official site to read more about it and see a lot of pictures.
