So sorry for the delayed reply I have been mentally busy.
That's very similar indeed. I will be custom building the shed now on a concrete foundation. I didn't think mine will be as big as yours due to lack of space but should be enough for me for now until we love which won't be for a few years.
I have dug it all out and getting ready to do the base now.
I will make a proper post or link off to my website when it's done!
Found a set at retail price yesterday in my favorite Mom&Pop Toy store.
Now to figure out the best way to make the parts i wanted into a DDR machine!
Also, still finding surprises in my last LEGO haul...the legs for #7250 Clone Scout Walker were already assembled, so I finished the build.
I must say that I am super happy that Lego puts the parts in numbered bags instead of just placing them in the bags sorta randomly.
Its very time consuming sorting everything first. Even more time being lazy lol
Bottom Right #8653 Enzo Ferrari is filling the void until I can get a #956 or #853 (PM me if you have one to spare ;-)
It is proving rather a challenge to fit all the PF elements into it and still get it looking reasonably good. I don't think it's an insurmountable challenge, but it's definitely a much bigger challenge than my last engine (which I've almost finished but haven't shown to anyone yet)
I did a mosaic of my niece last year. I simply uploaded a photo I took on my phone. I then pixelated it on my PC. I used LunaPic, if I remember correctly. After that I simply used some baseplates and thousands of 1x1 round plates.
Then my next project is that I want the 5571 Black Cat big Rig, but it's way too expensive. Soooo I'll build me one :D Except it will be red.
I noticed that the individual floors don't join together with tiles with studs on ends like the other modulars, and instead, they just get placed on one another with bricks in certain positions to hold them in place. Mine definitely feels a bit loose. did anyone replace the tiles?
It's not finished yet, so there are a couple of colours wrong, and a few small details needing added, but it works! I really wasn't sure if it would, or if it would try to rip the motor from the mountings. As it was, it did the latter at first, but after a little tweak it works fine. :)
My double-tender LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman contains over 1300 pieces, runs on Power Functions, and is a total of 81 studs from front to back. And yes, it does go around curves and over switches. Better than some of my other trains actually.
I'm extremely pleased with how it's turned out, and I can't wait to get all the decals printed onto it so that it really looks the part!
For any pedants out there who say that Flying Scotsman never ran with the double tender and the smoke deflectors at the same time, you're correct, but I don't care. I much prefer it with the smoke deflectors. ;)
Oh and the driving wheels are the XL wheels from Big Ben Bricks.
Oh-Rah!
I was disappointed that it was missing 2 of the brown 1x6 beams and a red-brown 1x2 plate.
Now that I have finished with the set, I think some more furniture is in order for both buildings...
