I got the Christmas tree sculpture pieces off the table and reassembled it on to the floor. With the pieces leaning on each other, the sculpture is sturdy, but individually the pieces are very fragile. I anticipate that there is more reinforcement work ahead.
I think I’ve gotten over the biggest hurdle, matching the base of the tree to the table label. I am now on level 89, and since each subsequent level is smaller, the levels go progressively faster. The biggest challenge now is not stepping on what has already been built.
For now, I am building the top half, with a base that is 96 studs wide, as one continuous piece.
