Final Project for BrickFest

 The Gladiator read -3 degrees this morning as I drove to work. I stayed indoors over the weekend. I built Legos on Saturday and watched Peaky Blinders on Sunday. I took some images during each stage. I am not really happy with the results. Too many errors in the build. I am still deciding if I will continue or redo it all.


The Base

I figured a snow scene would be appropriate

My theory was to work in several stairs



Figuring out the angles

The first roof was rejected



The upper roof is better, but I need to work on more color and frills. The lower roof needs work, too. I might continue with it, but there will need to be a lot of rework.

    1. My life is to boring for Lego Masters. They want drama on the show.

    2. Bring a date. That would up the sexiness!

    3. I can't find a date, although I haven't been looking too hard.

  3. It looks good to me. Sometimes when I'm knitting something, I know it's going to bug me, so I rip back and start over (or rip back to where I made my mistake). Only you know if it's a start over or a start further back sort of project.

  4. Super cold here. So I only go out for things like trash, mail, and to move snow.

  5. I agree, there's too much brown, is there something like Lego moss you can add?

    1. I will tone down the roofs when I get the buildings completed, but I plan on adding a winter tree to the front. There will still be a lot of brown. to match the season. White and brown. Although they do make a moss color.

    2. The garage next to my yard has a lot off green moss on it that has stayed green even with our sub-freezing temps and snow. Of course, one of my favorite colors is green, so I'm going to push that.

    1. The tree came out alright. I am almost done. I just need to add minifigures.
