Dfenz's layout at the Big Build Weekend - Titanic Belfast. The new Mary McAleese Boyne Bridge is to the left. Heuston Station was the main part of my display with Nealon's pub, St Ann's church and the Piano cinema also featuring. The new Ghostbusters set also is in the picture outside Nealons.

JanetvanD's debut model at a brick.ie event - Tomb Raider's 'Lost Valley' scene. It even has its own sound effects!

This is my latest MOC. Its based on St Ann's church in Dawson Street Dublin although its not an exact replica. It took about 5 weeks to complete. It still needs some minor decals but the heavy lifting is done. It has lots of 'stained-glass' windows and has three separate sets of LED lights. I've used the wheel in the General Grevious bike to create the central window. The mosaic in the courtyard pavement isn't my own design - its based on a design in the Beautiful Lego book. The adjoining building has yet to be equipped with furniture but Bfenz is working on that. Its also got lighting, this time built into ceilings and walls via a cavity section which also feeds staircase and rear security lights.

[Edit: According to a Newstalk transcript I came across, in December 1878, Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula, was married in St Anne’s Church to 20-year-old Florence Balcombe]

Here's a recent creation of mine. Its a LEGO cinema in the shape of a grand piano and uses lots of chrome technic connectors and transparent pieces. It has a nightclub under the cinema section. Unusual features include LED underfloor lighting, curved walls and staircase, sliding shutters and an opening roof (grand piano lid) that allows the screen to be viewed. The cinema screen is in fact a tablet and its got a LEGO Batman movie playing on it which the public can view. Also of interest is the Bfenz built tree which uses lots of rare white tree limbs.

This model, built by Janet VanD, used 27,389 pieces and took approx. six months to complete. It depicts a late 19th century period dwelling in Autumn, of the sort you'd find in certain rural areas of the U.S.
The interior features three floors plus cellar and attic. All rooms are fully removable and are furnished to a later style. Being a house with a "history", there are, of course, a few resident ghosties and ghoulies!

Here is a pic of the full version of Jack Nealon's pub. It still needs an interior and Bfenz will get around to that in the new year. The version displayed in Blackrock was narrower to accommodate the train track exiting the subway/ rear of Arnotts. It can be displayed in either 32 or 48 studs deep formats. The staff in Nealon's enjoyed it when it was brough to the November meeting.
