Art Gallery Opens on Original Avenue


MoreCityBricks residents are expected to turn out in droves this Friday night for the grand opening of Gallerie Picasso. 

"We have had a crowd gathered outside our front window since we hung our first painting," said gallery owner Pablo P. Casso.  "When we open the doors for the first time, I think we'll be absolutely packed!"

The gallery is home to more than a dozen modern art masterpieces with more work in progress in the artist's third floor studio.

"I love the studio," said Casso. "Some days I work inside. Some days I work out on the veranda. But everyday I am inspired by this beautiful city."

While the museum does not officially open until Friday, Casso has promised a sneak peak at the current collection tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. with a catered brunch on the patio for VIPs.

Making the Lego Race Car Transporter Minifigure-Compatible

I don't build a lot of Lego vehicles, but with Amazon selling the LEGO Creator 3in1 Race Car Transporter (31113) for just $16, I decided to give it a whirl. With a little work, it might have a place in one of my upcoming modular buildings,. I built the car transporter with two race cars. It was a quick build, but not particularly useful for modular city collectors since it is not minifigure-compatible. (The cab is a solid block of bricks with no room for a driver and the race cars have built-in miniature drivers.)   Fortunately, the set has good bones and made for an easy conversion to a 6-wide truck cab with two drivable go-karts. The truck portion of the set needed a total overhaul to make room for a driver and stretch the set out to 6-studs, which is the standard for commercial vehicles in my Lego city. I reused a lot of the pieces from the set, but added several additional pieces and the standard vehicle parts - doors, windshield, roof, etc. I also upgraded the tires and wheel

Lego plants for those without a builder's green thumb

It's always a challenge to make plant life look real in Lego scenes - even when you're using the new botanical pieces. Fortunately, the Lego Queer Eye Fab 5 Loft (10291) gives us several nicely styled potted plants that can improve any modular scene - in a living room or on the street.  This big pot of Lego leaves looks great in the Fab 5 Loft and even better, in my opinion, on the sidewalk in front of a modular building. With just seven pieces, it's a quick build and one of my favorite things! The Fab 5 Loft is now on sale at Lego.com for 40% off - just $59.99!
