New ILUGNY Window Displays at the Rockefeller Center and West Nyack LEGO Stores!

ILUGNY has two new LUG window installations at the Lego Stores in Manhattan and Rockland County!

The first is Swarm HQ, based upon the new Galaxy Squad theme.  The model incorporates dark red and black bricks; trans-neon green 1/4-saucer pieces from the old UFO theme also form giant, menacing spheres — the better to batter the Swarm Interceptor with!  (Bonus: can you find the Blacktron II piece?  🙂

The second is a piece of artwork — inspired by Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” and rendered, mosaic-style, in various 1×1 transparent, colored Lego pieces.

Both were created by ILUGNY member Sid, aka Brickplate, with assists from Bill M., Bill P. and Mike B., and will be on display for the next few weeks!

  1. Huge Lego maniac. I am amazed at how you n others create custom projects. My question is how do u do it? How do u know what piece will go with this piece, how many pieces you need, the color, etc. Do you mind sharing your expertise? I am hungry to learn at the age of 30. Thanks, from a true fan

    1. Hi Bryan — thanks for your note! Speaking for myself, building skills are acquired over a lifetime of being a Lego fan, seeing what models came before, and then (most importantly) seeing what others have made with their own bricks. For the Galaxy Squad model, for instance, I took inspiration from both the current Lego theme, but made the Swarm Base as a totally original piece using the neon green / dark red / black color scheme. For “The Scream”, I looked at a photo of the painting as a guide, approximated where the bricks would go, et voila. So, don’t ever worry if you have enough pieces — just build, and let creativity guide you! Hope that helps. — Sid
