I would definitely be up for building some farm buildings/surroundings/accessories, etc. And I can help out on Saturday, but Sunday¹s a no-go. Also, there is...

Hey Joe-- I'm in Westminster, but I was needing to head to Fort Collins at some time in the next week or so anyway, so maybe I can be in town at a time when...
Hi Joe and Meghan, Okay, so I'm going to have to arrange for someone to fend for my buildings at the Mills since I've got previous commitments both Sat and ...
I'm seeing alot of people that are able to come for Saturday but not Sunday. Would it be better to have a one day event instead. This might be easier with...

... I wouldn't be able to make it two Saturdays in a row. A Saturday and Sunday is no picnic either, especially so far from home, but I could attend the first...
So, I've been working on my cafe corner and I have to agree 4 coffee shops in the same block AND same building would be a little odd. I've been toying with my...
Ok, so in the past few meetings, we;ve dicussed doing this show. I've signed CoWLUG up. I'm waiting for the confirmation on space. But in the mean time we...
All, I have updated the table layout to be a "U" shaped layout by adding a harbor area. (look in the photo area of the newsgroup) This way, we can have two...

Here's a brickshelf copy of the layout: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/dh34154/Snapshot/colorado_mills_02.jpg I was more worried about getting minifigs...
Ok, I've looked through what I have and I've got 4 32x32 houses, the only problem is that they are very close to the edge(4 studs or less) and I have front...
So long as everything fits within the 32x32 footprint and nothing hangs over, I think you are fine. As I have said earlier, I will be adding sidewalks to the...
Thank you Duane for the information on the event in two weeks. I am adding the finishing touches to the locomotives I will bring. I forgot to mention my...
Jim and I are planning on being there both days. That is the minimum number of people that should be there. I would prefer that the rolling stock be 6-wide,...

I completely agree with Joe on the risers. So far I've not seen an elegant solution for hiding the wiring without going "underground". As well as the river, a...

Duane, I'd like to propose a change to the layout -- thankfully one that only seems to affect spaces already allocated to me. :) On the left side of the "U",...
No problem. I can make the change on Monday. I also want to take a harder look at the harbor. I built a section today and I'm not sure I can fit in everything...
Hi everyone - I'm happy to be joining the CoWLUG group! I've already met some of you since I'm Nobodyz's mom. I'm looking forward to the event at Colorado...
No worries, most of my buildings are 2-3 stories high so this shouldn't be a problem. As to which buildings to go where, I think that can easily be handled on...
Okay. So, there is now actually a barn and farm in existence, and it easily fills (3) 32x32 baseplates. Duane, do we have a spot for that? ~Meghan ... Re:...
