So it is completely legit for you to post about that instead of dolls house projects.<br />As long as you do where your heart lies, I enjoy reading about it.<br />So keep those posts coming!<br />Hope you're having a great summer<br />Hugs,<br />GeeGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209436888131173655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-29234057039625294842015-06-01T12:39:22.582+01:002015-06-01T12:39:22.582+01:00Hello Andy,

You did a terrific job and I am really thrilled you decided to finish the interior. I was surprised they did not finish it or at least offer separate kits to dress up the inside.<br />What fun!<br />Big hug,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-306904812338302732015-05-07T08:51:47.368+01:002015-05-07T08:51:47.368+01:00Great corner building.

I have been "watching" certain Lego items in eBay recently, ones from my childhood that I am desperately clinging on to, and have stopped short of purchasing due to the incredible prices!<br />Perhaps I should download the instructions and get myself over to a Store!?<br />Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories.<br />Si xSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843072284822496590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-84981654949216206392015-05-06T18:25:12.731+01:002015-05-06T18:25:12.731+01:00Chapeau... your Lego-Café is awesome!

Now it's unique and special and better as a kit for so much money could ever be. Btw I think this fits well to a blog about miniatures... ;O) And I agree with what you said in your reply - the kits for kids leave no more room for any fantasy these days. It's stunning how detailed they are and how many nice ideas the designer put in them - but they kill creativity... and get boring after a short time.<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-45507549688761680242015-05-06T11:35:43.212+01:002015-05-06T11:35:43.212+01:00Hi Andy, Just wanted to share with you the joy of...Hi Andy, Just wanted to share with you the joy of completing this great project! One of my favorite past times when I was young was building houses out of Lego, this takes me back to that so much. I can imagine the fun (and frustrations, at times) of a project like this. I am rather impressed, to be truthful. You've created something wonderful! I can imagine it being a tad heavy too! :0) <br />Don't put your back out moving it around! :0) <br /><br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-7801785451603562022015-05-06T11:14:39.484+01:002015-05-06T11:14:39.484+01:00Thanks for your comments!

I know Lego isn't strictly a dolls' house subject, but I have posted a few things about Lego before, and it is something I really enjoy, to an extent it has taken over from miniatures for a while, which is partly why my blog was in mothballs for so long! I love hearing how you all had lLego or children with Lego in the past, I had a set for Christmas once, years ago, and have never looked back! I amassed tonnes of Lego then gave the lot to my sister to sell to raise some money for her kids, but missed it so much I have slowly built my collection up again, and there are so many different elements these days! My first set was mostly square or rectangular bricks with a few slopes and some big bobble headed people. the new sets are full of details I could only have imagined years ago! <br /><br />I do think it's a shame that they don't encourage kids to build their own things so much these days, the kits are fun, but it's using your own imagination to create whatever you like that makes Lego so much fun! That's sort what the message was in their recent blockbuster movie!<br /><br />Finding the right brick can be a nightmare, I have sorted mine to a certain degree, but still have a lot of searching to do if I want a particular piece I KNOW i have got SOMEWHERE!! ;) and I know from personal experience what treading on tiny sharp cornered Lego pieces with bare feet feels like!! LOL!<br /><br />xxxAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064247140624108019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-21727356309272340052015-05-06T10:31:09.600+01:002015-05-06T10:31:09.600+01:00First: I am thrilled to see you have a new post!
T...First: I am thrilled to see you have a new post!<br />That Lego work you did, man, what a hell of a job! have you got any feeling in your fingers left? You did a great job on it, though.<br />Love the inside rooms, the coffeemachine... it looks just as if Lego designed it by their own. No, even better.<br />I've got a Lego trauma from when my son had a lot of Lego, he built cars with it and indian villages and islands and I don't know what else. But he was not the most patient one at that time and if he got irritated he threw the lot through his room on the floor. The number of times I've stepped into one of those Lego bricks! And the hours I spent sorting them out... <br />But that's off topic. Love your use of colors, your work just rises the spirit just by looking at it.<br />You did a great job in putting this together AND making all the additions. Love it!<br />Hugs,<br />Gee<br />Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209436888131173655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-18628242090579017992015-05-06T07:43:24.785+01:002015-05-06T07:43:24.785+01:00Wow.

This must have taken so much patience to Design and collect all the necessary pieces in the right colors!!!<br />My boys had Tons of LEGOs when they were growing up... they all ended up in a large "tray" (really a shallow dresser drawer) on the playroom floor and whenever they couldn't find a piece they needed they would beg me to come in and help them search through all the LEGOs to find the right one! I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees searching! <br />Your version of the Cafe with the extra details is so creative and really takes an understanding of all the details needed to construct it right! Bravo for such devotion to the LEGO World! It really looks like a lot of fun!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.com
