Rails In The Rockies – 2023
Our 12th year at Rails In the Rockies has come and gone. We had fun as a group showing off some new MOC creations and enjoying some friendly time together at the show! Evan brought his part of the Pirate collab both CoWLUG and DENLUG are participating in, his Thomas The Tank Engine, and more. […]
Rails In The Rockies 2017
By Lester: Greetings to all, We had another successful Estes Park Train Show a few weekends ago, and I would like to thank all those who came up and helped with it. A total of 12 people had something to do with the show; some couldn’t make it, but sent their items with someone else. […]
Denver Comic Con 2016
The 2016 Denver Comic Con was a unique experiance. We were not on the main convention floor this year, but in the lobby of the BellCo Theater downstairs. There were carpeted floors, and a reduced area for our display which made for some challenges. All the builders helped and we made it work. We chose […]
CoWLUG Celebrates 10 Years!

NoCo MiniMaker Faire: 2015
NoCo Mini-Maker Faire 2015 About 10 builders made the trek up to Loveland for the NoCo Mini Maker Faire over the October 10th and 11th weekend. The display was filled with a large variety of builds.

First Annual Fort Collins Comic Con!
Many CoWLUG members have been part of “the larger Comic Con” in Colorado for several years in a row. Distill all the goodness of that event down into a single day and you have Fort Collins Comic Con. The Aztlan Community Center just north of the main part of town was transformed into a […]
Brick Fest Live! 2015 Denver
Potentially our largest display this year, Brick Fest Live! 2015 was a great success! With about 30 CoWLUG members displaying creations and supplying parts for the displays (including new members, Steven Lopez and Kathy Nicolai), we spread the LEGO love over 1180 square feet….that’s 59 8’x30” tables!! Up front we had the Modular Town, featuring […]
If CoWLUG had a summer camp!
CoWLUG doesn’t have a summer camp. But if we did, this month’s meeting had just about everything we’d all want – a case of LEGO sets, build challenges (including alt builds and blind building,) set drafts, pizza, lugbulk, part swapping, moc sharing, plenty of friendly jibing, and loads of builders who play well together. First […]
Denver Comic Con 2015!
DCC has grown substantially from it’s first launch several years ago. So has CoWLUG! Just six members displayed LEGO builds on six small tables at that first event in 2012. This year there are over 20 members exhibiting work across dozens of tables arranged in configurations across enough floor space that one can no longer […]
MOCs & Elves Parts Draft @ CoWLUG Member’s Meeting
If you’re lurking on the CoWLUG YahooGroups list and wonder what happens at the meetings, here’s a little sampling of activity around the MOCs table from the March 2015 meeting. Lots of great stuff being built and planned by members who have been with CoWLUG for years, but also by a slew of brand new […]
Estes Park – Rails in the Rockies – 2015
For the Estes Park Train Show, we took a gamble and tried to do Las Vegas. The numbers were against us: We had 13 builders for the show and we were setting up on Friday the 13th. But I guess the odds were in our favor and we hit the jackpot! Las Vegas was a […]
CoWLUG Meetings 2.0!
“Great space! Parts draft! Pizza! And beer?!” – Some of the things that could be heard at CoWLUG’s recent meeting, hosted by Christian of hobbydb in Boulder this past Monday night. All told, there were 27 members in attendance, and if I counted correctly, four of them were new members attending for the first time. This […]
