Lego building as a hobby (1 Viewer)

[bonnjer]

Welp, my family went nuts and bought me a whole bunch of stuff. The Succulents I bought for my wife. Yeah, I'm trying to get her hooked. Lol. The rest was mostly from my wife and a couple from my kids and parents. My wife is the best! I've already posted the Galaxy Explorer, and I'm doing all of the Star Wars sets. After that, I haven't decided. I want to do Avengers Tower so bad, but I think I'm gonna wait until I figure out how I'm gonna display everything. I'm leaning Lunar Lander after completing the SW sets.

Beautiful. That Avengers Tower looks magnificent. I wouldn't mind seeing a series of pictures through the build process, if you would be so inclined.

Can you not build some sort of curio cabinet out of Legos?

Oh, I'm definitely doing that to show my family. Will be happy to post here when I start building. I feel like a kid again! Yeah!

The 2 limited edition GWP (gift w/ purchase) sets are fun little builds. They're legitimate sets. About to do the ornaments. Feels like a lot pieces for 3 ornaments. The carriage I finished is a cool little build.

Son indeed got the firefighter plane for Xmas and it took him about a day to complete it. He took breaks here and there but I’m still impressed

I finished the Lunar Lander today. Pretty fun build. Some interesting techniques to get the shape of the Lander. The legs were a little tricky to get right. I love the shape of it and the way you can pull some of the sections off to view the inside of it.

Yea, I had a lot of fun with that one myself. I think the Lunar Lander was the 2nd Lego kit I’ve ever built.

So, I just wanted to get an idea of what's ahead with the Avengers Tower. Lol, easily the biggest set I've ever gotten. I'm pretty stoked.

Interesting there was a box within a box. Which makes sense because putting all of those bags in one big box would cause the main box to bulge and get damaged really easily. The white box helped keep the main box shape intact. Clever packaging.

40+ individual bags is wild. This is gonna be a journey, lol.

Seems like splitting the pieces into different bags defeats some of the challenge.

Just dump ‘em all on the floor. They’re going to get you eventually.

One giant bag with all the pieces. Sorting them out is half the fun.

Three bags in. Fun so far. I like that they spread the minifigs throughout the build.
