Rogue Frontier – A RogueBricks Collaboration

„Rogue Frontier" is a collaborative display that was put together by 24 members of RogueBricks and was on display at Bricking Bavaria 2022 near Nuremberg, Germany

After we had already built collaborative displays on themes like Pirates, Diesel Punk and Adventurers in recent years, this time we wanted to create a massive and immersive western-inspired diorama. But instead of doing the classic Wild West, we moved it to Canada, creating a tribute to the pioneering days up North.

Originally we had intended this collaboration for 2020 but Covid threw a wrench into things. It was amazing to finally put it together this year. It proved to be a massive success, taking home 1st place in both the public and expert voting categories – a testament to all the hard work paying off!

You will find a list of everyone’s contribution below, as well as links to their profiles where they’ll post their contributions in the coming days. My thanks to everyone involved - planning these collaborations is one thing, but to actually show up and build them in the end is an entirely different matter. We couldn’t have done it without all of these talented builders!

All 24 members and their contributions:

- Daniel Bodky (dbodky) : Daniel contributed a small church at the entrance of the town, as well as a small graveyard.
- Sascha Brüning (Speedyhead) and Michael Diermann (Boba1980) : Sascha and Michael brought a big fort to live, complete with a whole battalion of soldiers.
- Martin Gebert (MGibarian) : Between the fort and the central waterfall Martin’s module continues the landscaping and flora to tie things further together.
- Johannes Haimann (Vaionaut) : Johannes contributed two town houses along with a street and a path towards the coast. Additionally there’s a hobbit under the hill – where else would you find them after all?
- Jonas Kramm (Legopard) : Jonas’ native American village can be found left of the town, separated by a dripstone cave.
- Gino Lohse (YgrekLego) : Gino’s forest modules contain a band of hunters and lumberjacks, ready to do some important work, as well as their fireplace.
- Mark van der Maarel (steentje) : Mark contributed a gold mine along with workers and mine carts, situated at the bottom of the left mountain range.
- Fernando Pontes (Nando) : Nando continued to the train track that leads away from the train station and also contributed a water tower.
- Michael Pühlhöfer (Felix-the-Builder) : Michael’s modules contain a working saw mill that wowed the audience with its spinning mill wheel. Additionally he brought a canoe that circled the lake using magnets, and took care of the wiring of lights and motors throughout the collar.
- Jan Rähm (jrx) : As our resident Technic guru, Jan figured out how the train bridge in the back could collapse and reset itself using an ingenious wire mechanism.
- Christian Rau (Rauy) : Christian built a lovely snowed-in cabin in the mountains, complete with a trapper and hidden squirrels.
- Andrea Rollbühler (Andrea) : Andrea’s module on the left side of the coast contains a fisherman and his little hut, along with some livestock.
- Markus Rollbühler (rolli) : The big mountain on the left was built by Markus, which also integrated Jan’s bridge mechanism. Additionally he contributed the waterfall in the center that bridges the two levels of water.
- Luca Scheller (Luca s projects) : Luca built a small train station including lights. Additionally his module contained a motorized lumberjack that was working all weekend long on sawing down his little log.
- Stefan Schneider (Robo Block) : Stefan contributed the coastal cliff along with a sheriff and a residential building situated on top.
- Paul Trach (Disco86) : The big mountain on the right was built by Paul, complete with „Mount Roguemoore“, a wooden hut and a train to complete the bridge.
- Hannes Tscharner (Marshal_Banana) : Hannes built a part of the town close to the water, including a hotel with multiple floors, as well as a dock section.
- Filippos Tsialidis (Phil_DeLaGhetto) : As a budding dental technician, Fili provided the carriage of a certain professional colleague inspired from Django Unchained that now crosses the bridge into town. Additionally he built a the hideout of a moonshiner including a small pier.
- Marcel Veit (Marcel V.) : Marcel came in strong and helped filling in the landscape with a rocky forest section just next to the fort.
- Kevin J. Walter (Skywalter) : Kevin arrived with two massive ships, directly inspired by the Franklin expedition to the Canadian Arctic.
- Thomas Weigelt (Sylon) : Thomas built an encampment for numerous lumberjacks as well as a raft to transport logs into town.
- Marion Weintraut (Brixe) : Marion contributed a little hut just outside town, along with some lovely terrain.
- Ben Tritschler (modestolus) : Ben was a great driving force behind the project and would have contributed a big module. Unfortunately, he lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. As such this collaboration is dedicated to him. Waste your time well!

Please check out the collage containing dozens of close-up images showcasing some of the details we were able to put in.

If you’d like to know more about the collaboration and the planning behind it, we prepared a post over on RogueBricks covering all that. It is in German but GoogleTranslate will do wonders.
