Ever since DIG Into Reading, I’ve wanted to expand on that concept / my build for it and do a massive anthill-style build of The Silver Chair. The sleeping giant (Father Time) that @dc221803 built with me was just one of many caverns described by CS Lewis in the book, and if one had the time and resources, it could be a truly epic (even immersive, possibly*) build. The front+back cover image shows just how cool it could be with the anthill / series of vignettes style.
I’ve always preferred the old Pauline Baynes illustrations from the books my dad & uncle had as a kid; there’s plenty of inspiration there…
*If you’ve been to the Aviary and seen the penguins, they have tunnels kids can crawl through, then pop up in the middle of the habitat and have penguins right in front of them. If you built big enough, these “mole holes” could be incorporated in some of the caverns, especially the larger cavern with the underground city…
So yeah, just as soon as @bengood921 hits the lottery and donates his winnings to the LUG so we can all quit our jobs and do LEGO stuff full time, I’ll get right on this!
