After the meeting several intrepid members installed the MOC, now dubbed “Micropolis” in a display case at the Lego Imagination Center store at the Mall of America for everyone to enjoy.

TwinLUG member Garth has posted a great entry in his blog about the model along with pictures of the assembled display.

We hope to be posting a detailed spec for others wanting to build their own modules and cities compatible with our design.
