Re: The Lego Thread

Latest haul from the Lego Store today. Also bought the Lego City flexible tracks pack to add more train tracks for my holiday train. Decided I didn't like everything crammed in the circle. Now I have a bigger oval shape that better fits the table. Also decided I am going to buy the power functions for the train on the Lego website. Cashier at the store gave me a card with a promo code for free shipping. Awesome people there.

Re: The Lego Thread

I am still working on my tunnel and ski slope for my village. It's taking more time than I hoped, but I think I'll be finished with it by this weekend. I've had to break it down and rebuild a few times to make it sturdier but I think I'm just about there. The big challenge is going to be moving it from the construction area to my gameroom upstairs where the Christmas village is without breaking it!

Looking good! Can't wait to see it all finished.

You guys building these monuments; do you have pets running around?

I have a cat but he doesn't jump on tables much.

I couldn't imagine putting the time and effort into those only for a pet to give no ****s and send it crashing down.

I have three dogs, but they don't mess with anything if they are on tables. Every now and then a piece falls on the floor and the puppy is real good at finding them and me having to get it out of her mouth.

Forget the Lego Store. I will now be buying Lego sets created by Aukevin. That is impressive! [emoji109]

Re: The Lego Thread

Ski slope and train tunnel is finally complete and moved back upstairs with the rest of the village. Not a single piece fell off during transport so I guess it is sturdy enough! *whew* On top of the slope is the North Pole with Santa's Village where you can see Santa taking flight!

Also here is a pic of my Holiday Train set, I added a couple new cars to it, and still have one more to add. I have the power function added, I'm stressing it with the additional cars when it goes around curves. Hopefully it'll have enough power for one more car.

My final step for this year is to just add finishing touches around the town. There's a lot of extra space around the village for more buildings, but I don't think I'll add anymore this year. I need to find some kind of white sticky putty stuff to get the skiers to stay on the slope. The bottom of the slope will eventually have a ski lodge there. Lego doesn't have one, so that'll be a project for the 2017 version. For the rest of this year, I'm just going to try and make it look nicer. I'm going to build a sidewalk around the street (you can see the start of the curb on the street in the pic) and add eight more light poles. I'm also going to create a bigger skating rink in my town square. I'll post another pic of the whole village when it is finally complete for this year.

That looks incredible.

Do you do tours?
