A Kiwi in Oz. Disappointingly average. Aggressively mediocre. Determinedly unlucky. Individual parts of my life may sound way more interesting than they really were.
I've been trying to figure out decent trees. After much trial and error I think I'm onto something here.

Anyway, I managed to cobble together different minifigs to make this Highwayman, so it's good to keep all your left over parts.

First go round with getting the top floor in. Immediately I see that it's too flat, monotone, and boring. Secondly the roof is going to be a real challenge to figure out. But it's a start.

New Lego Day. The pieces I need to tidy up this floor of the Inn have arrived. Something fun to do for this coming weekend.

After Apple Plus dropped the Plus, I am disappointed they didn't commit to having Apple-related names. Call their full selection Apple Orchard, call earnings Apple Turnover, call kids shows Apple Juice, documentaries Apple Slice, spicy romantic films Apple Cider. Be creative!

This Inn is what the floor was for. The top floor is next, and then I'll probably break the whole thing down again and add fancy bits like balconies or a fireplace and chimney.

It's really finicky making something in Lego when it's an unusual shape and I have limited pieces in my stash. This floor is 18x23 studs, with a curved corner, which means I have to pack in awkwardly sized bits and pieces, and then firmly reinforce them so they don't fall apart.
