Read MoreFor Brickworld 2016, VLUG opted to scale things back a bit from previous years, and focus more on individual creativity. What better way to accomplish that goal than to build our own Mini-Land Plus Putt-Putt golf course! Fearless leader Dave Kaleta took the helm again. But unlike the Wizard of Oz collaboration which required very specific scenes and exacting standards, this year's concept left a lot up to the individual builders. As long as you had your tee box and a path, you were good to go. So from Cthulhu to Gamma Trianguli VI, the VLUG crew certainly didn't disappoint!
Photos in the slideshow courtesy of Dave Kaleta, and one by Mrs. Barto of the Sand Castle scene. There's also a nice Beyond the Brick tour with Dave. He highlights each builder and their themes, plus you can see the mechanical action featured in several of the holes.
