Brick.ie The Irish Association for Adult Fans of LEGO®

Irish Lego fans have banded together to form Brick.ie, a new LUG aimed at bringing other like minded people together. We've already had our first couple of meetings, and we hope to have a public display event this year.

Membership is currently free to anyone who asks - just register on our website and post a message to the "Introductions" forum and we'll make you a member.

If you're a Lego fan in Ireland, or feel a connection to Ireland, please check us out.

I'd had the basic shape of the LL-451 in my head for a while, but it wasn't till I happened to get hold of a big batch of old grey bricks that I was able to realise it. It relies on stressing elements, using short bricks in the two "wings" with crossbeams at different points to pull them both into curves. I built a back wall out of plates, though there are gaps. For the "command deck" I wanted as smooth a shape as I could manage, so used lots of different curved slopes. The windscreen is an X-Pod, tilted back at an angle.

It was built for the Neo Classic Space 30th anniversary celebration.
