Brickworld Detroit 2022

 Firstly, I had a great time at Brickworld Detroit. I traveled from work to unload half of my setup Thursday night. On Friday, I took the second load down and setup. The placement of all my trees and minifigures was all done in advance. My display is not as large as some, but it has a lot of detail packed into every plate.

I spent most of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the show. I met new people, joined a Lego club, and talked with a contestant from Season #2 of the TV series Lego Masters.

My display was pretty well received by the public. Some people would race through without stopping to appreciate the detail, while others would see all the little additions. Many people took pictures, and a couple said it was their favorite display in the show. That made me happy.

Other builders appreciated the detail in my creation and the unique theme and buildings. Several of them took pictures also. I might see my ideas incorporated into some of their designs next year. I was the only one to have round towers, and my castle was the only one that was destroyed. So it was unique in that respect.

There was a wide variety of displays. Mostly, people go large but lack detail or build small unique displays. Mine fell somewhere in between. I did not take many new pictures, but I did make a video that I uploaded to Youtube. Click on the word video. In the video, you can see Sam in a red shirt sitting by the table.

Sam came down both days. She helped me transport the display home Sunday night. Tinkerbell and Tech came to the show on Saturday. We got to go out to dinner both Friday and Saturday night.

The whole experience was fun, and it has inspired me to create more and exhibit something new in the Chicago Brickworld show next year. Something a bit taller but that is easily transported.

Here are a couple images of another guy's models. Each of his was unique and highly detailed.
