We had a great display at Fan Fusion 2024. We had a 39′ x 40′ area that was broken down into 4 sections. Our themed display this year was Western (25′ x 7.5′). We also had a Pod Racing scene on Tatooine. And our normal City/Train layout with a new parade scene, a zoo and a movie studio scene as well as a huge crane. Here are some pictures of the event:
The following image shows the plans that we used for the layout.

We attended the Lego Fan based convention called Bricks by the Bay virtually this year. We had a one hour session where we presented some of what we’ve been doing while there hasn’t been any opportunity for display in a short video. We also talked about our trees and the landscaping standard that includes rivers, paths and oceans. We have detailed info on those on our club standards page.
