    Tri-Level Display - Evolution of a Speed Champions Stage

     


    Originally I constructed a single level display with a range of background options to stage Lego Speed Champion to be photographed. Eventually the stage grew to allow for multiple models, but felt crowded. That is when I up graded to the new Tri-Level Display.

    The foundation was started with a White Baseplate 32x32-stud 11026 Dark Gray Base Plate 16x32-stud

    Then I build an outline foundation with three separate levels. Next covered them with road plates for LEGO® City Road Plates set 60304. Next I looked at some of the design features from the old stage to include or build on.

    Eventually I would work on floor patterns and color combinations that worked with the pieces that I had. Once the back wall was established I worked my way out keeping a sense of cemetery with both side walls. Even though the two wall are made with different pieces I use color and shape to creat lines of consistency.

    Making large MOC builds can be challenging to have all the correct pieces on had. When I am working an idea, sometimes I will places other pieces in as temporary substitute, so I can move forward that idea. Sometimes substitutes become the new idea.

    In this new model same as in the old, I wanted a way to customize it quickly for different models placed on the display. You can see the white trim around the floor and the color on the walls are all strategically placed studs for holding these elements.

    For examples of the earlier versions:

    This is an updated to my previous post about the building techniques used to make a display to video and photograph Speed Champion models.

    Previously I was using a single wall setup and changing the patterns for different setups, but now I have created a dual wall setup combining these patterns.

    I have included images of the different components so you can see how it is built. There are also sample patterns showing brick selection process.

    How did you make the background/garage look superb?! - Speed Champions display stage



    I was asked

    How did you make the background/garage look superb?!

    At first I thought this was a question about the lighting, but actually they were asking about the look and design of the actual build. I figured other people might also be interested in my build style. Show I’ll post response here.

    This was built as a stage for me to take video and photos. I wanted something that had a semi realistic look and feel. To achieve this I made an arrangement of different liner and block patters mixing with bricks of different texture and shades. Using light and dark bricks to help give visual depth.

    Since I wanted to easily change up the patter to use in different photo setups I came up with a set of patterns that I could quickly change to customize the set. You can see in the image I provided that I also included some studs to add color panels to match the cars or brand.

    I have included several example images to show variations. I hope this helps explain the build. Feel free to ask questions.

    The First Royal Sword Ship: RSS Iron Saber 001



    The first RSS prototype built would be RSS Iron Saber 001; Iron Man themed, it would go through many revisions. Even before that was finished I began building the second RSS prototype RSS Captain Rogers; Captain America themed. Since then I have build hundreds of other saber, knife, and sword like weapons. 


    RSS Iron Saber has gone through many updates since 2018 when it first began to take shape.  By 2023 I had already built RSS Spider-Man 001 and RSS Captain Rogers 001 but still have not quite finished it. Before coming up with the RSS idea I had made 6 other LEGO swords. 


    This small collection was only the beginning of what quickly grew from 20 to 30, by 2019 I had made close to 100 different Lego swords experimenting with all kinds of techniques to build swords that you can swing around. I came up with many different ways to make blades and handles that could resist falling apart under the swinging stress.

    RSS Captain Rogers 001

    The second RSS prototype built RSS Captain Rogers; Captain America themed. I would begin working on the this new project before finishing RSS Iron Saber.

    After creating a base look and feel, I then looked for old Captain America sets that I could integrate into what I had created. I picked 2017 set 76076 Captain America Jet Pursuit It was already hard to find in 2018, but it had some key elements that I wanted to include like the Cpt. Rogers name plate and the printed star pieces.
