At this meeting, Nephi W. showed an example section for a train loop and there was previous shows were discussed and upcoming shows were planned. As always, there was a fantastic MOC show and tell. There was also a reminder to the group that while we are a group of primarily adults, we are also a family-friendly space and more mature topics or conversations are best had in other forums.

PRESENTATION

With the introduction of the SMART Brick system by the LEGO group in March, Nephi gave a quick demonstration of how the SMART bricks, tiles, and figures work together and gave members and guests a chance to come and play with them directly.

At this meeting, previous shows were discussed and upcoming shows were planned. Officers introduced themselves for anyone new, and there was discussion about how the officers would like to improve future meetings. The feedback link provided at the meeting was also posted to Discord.

Demonstration

Club president Joe M shared how to use non-standard connections to make sturdy and flexible trees from the Plant Leaves 6×4 part. Rather than using stud connections, the parts are woven together into locking rings, which allows them to be both flexible and strongly connected.

He talked about:

• Uploading your chosen art and choosing the desired mosaic size
• Modifying the pixelation result
• Selecting colors to use and manually editing the result
