Today i finished the Carousel set (except for some railings and the steps on the stairs which will be added tomorrow) and took a few picutres of it. i think it came out allright. In order to fit int he avaliable space I had to limit it to four sets of stairs and four tiers. Overall i think it looks about right for lego figures. Please note the new e-mail

Update
7-1-02 Completed work on the botton
part of the Carousel. It now rotates and the side panels can
be raised. Due to the angle limitations there will probably
be a second base created for the participants to enter on
with ramps at the correct angle. I finished painting the
last of the Lastday hoods today. I am now starting to work
on the cubs. Unfortunately i have to do stuff with windows
and screens today an dprobaly will not start on the upper
part of the Carousel until tomorrow morning at the
earlierst. I have run out of extra right red arms. I am
thinking about designing a few more red costumes which use
right yellow arms. i added a new picture near the top of
this page. I wonder if I should make the movie in
letterbox? I am going to have a Lego drive! For four
pounds of Lego donated to the project you will recieve a
Lego's Run T-shirt. These shirts will be very special and
not sold in any way. However they will be distributed to
anyone who sends in at least 3lbs of Lego (Lego boxes do not
count nor do other types of blocks) i will make an
announcement when the t-shirt design is ready and have made
one example. Update
6-27-02 Completed work on the
Carousel participants today. I think they came out fairly
nice. Some of them still have the wrong red arms and I have
to make sure I get the gloves on and off at the wrong times
; ) Update
6-20-02 Currently I am starting to
assemble the large cast. Shown here are the future Sandmen,
a group of reds, and a few overflow green people. not shown
are the yellow and blue people (yes, I have decided to
include blue people in my version) and the cubs. the two
grey figures will be the stickmen. Also visible are various
carousel participants in various stages of construction. In
the front are the cowled flying participants (cowls will be
painted white (I am using farmer hats) ) and beneath them a
skull face. In the very back are some ghosts which will
represent the completely robed Carousel participant. I found
a great place to buy Lego parts online. Blick
Link is a sort of e-bay shops
like center which only sells Lego sets and parts! Amazing.
the other day int he mail a boackage arrived with 130 pieces
of lego hair! Now I have enough to create my
cast! Update
6-21-02 The ghost shells arrived
today. Another Brick Link order. I now have enough to pull
off the scene, but a few more will round out the number of
shosts representing the Carousel participants in their large
robes as they enter the Carousel. I am quite pleased who
things are starting to shape up. At this rate i sould hav
emost of the figures assembles in the next week or so. I
still have a lot of costumes to design. I will be making 6-7
outfits for each color of figures. I have decided to also
use blue as a lifestage as described in the book. The main
reason for this decision was the overabundance of blue
figures lying around. that and I really do not have as many
yellow figures as I thought I did. I do like they way they
looks standing round the funky red crystal thing. I wish i
could get transparent red angle blocks to make the crystal
transparent so I could light it from beneath. I have decided
the first set I will make will be the Carousel set.
