LEGO Disney Princess Jasmine’s Exotic Palace is the most recent set I’ve tried my hand at. Like the Little Mermaid set, it was a variety of pieces that were just asking to be puts on a MILS board. There were fewer…
LEGO Disney Princess Ariel’s Magical Kiss 41052
I bought and built a recently discontinued set from the Little Mermaid the other week. Like many smaller sets, it was a bit incomplete. It had some very nice objects in it, but one thing it was sorely lacking was water. There…
LEGO Ghostbusters 75827 Firehouse Headquarters
Last year, Chris built Ecto-1, the car from the original Ghostbusters movie. He finally got their Firehouse Headquarters as well. This building is by far the biggest Lego Chris has ever bought, so it was a bigger choice to buy it than…
LEGO Disney Princess 41067 Belle’s Enchanted Castle
In my ongoing attempt to learn to better interact with the realm of physical matter and have hobbies that aren’t as passive, I have carried on with the Lego. I decided to go for some nostalgia sets from my own childhood as…

LEGO Ideas Yellow Submarine 21306

LEGO Creator Expert 10243 Parisian Restaurant
Chris has carried on building large LEGO creator buildings as part of his project to create a LEGO city. One of his most recent was LEGO Creator Expert 10243 Parisian Restaurant. I think this is probably my favorite of the…
Christmas Day
The weather Christmas Day was cold by Arizona standards, but fairly clear. We did the British version of Christmas this time, doing what Americans would very much think of as Thanksgiving food: turkey, stuffing, potatoes (roasted and mashed), parsnips, carrots, green…
