Full disclosure: there was prior planning, but I did not do the planning. Some guy who submitted this IDEAS project to TLC and then some master builder employee planned this building. Still, it was a good challenge to try to recreate it.
I have no sand green tiles. So instead of the well-loved fishing store, I decided to make a well-maintained boating store. 🙂 I also discovered that I have none of those silvery fish.
I don’t think this building will make it to the trolley museum, partly because the sides of the main building that cannot be seen in the photo are unfinished, and partly because my wife was nice enough not to KILL me while I was working on this for many hours and she was doing a lot of vacation prep.
There has been NO progress on the Christmas tree since the last photo I posted, there have been other priorities. However, I am no longer targeting July 16 as an end date, that was ambitious anyway. Instead, I’m planning to help Bob haul Hogwarts to the Philly BrickThingy in July.
