Hello my Friends, Family, and Fans;
There are two ways to build LEGO. There’s the way I did when I was a kid, and that’s a scramble to create what’s in your head from a random selection of bricks.
I mostly built Raptors (The fighter ships from Battlestar Galactica) or houses. Occasionally, I’d build cars. Once I got the Mindstorm, set I built a lot of robots and claws.
This style is a lot of fun and exciting.
The second way is getting a set and building it according to the instructions. Unlike other crafty things, LEGO sets don’t require painting, cutting, or other things that I’m not great at. I just have to follow the instructions and trust that everything will turn out right.
I’m building my LEGO Haunted Mansion that my wonderful wife gave me for Christmas (two years ago) and it’s soothing and fun (when the kids aren’t yelling at me to go faster). I can see the appeal of the larger sets, and if I had the space I’d consider getting one. For now I’ll stick to the medium sized ones.
If you don’t mind, I’m going to go stare at my mini collection.
Stay safe and be kind,
Éric
