Frozen stuff and an update on Rapunzel's Tower
I know all some five one of you is eagerly anticipating at least one of the things mentioned in the title!
Unfortunately, I won't be sharing any new images for the tower as I haven't added too much at this point. I have changed some bricks and improved on a few items, but I didn't think it was anything too spectacular to share as of yet. I did get my pick-a-brick order in yesterday which was the first stage of building the base of the tower. It is apparent that I will need more sloped bricks and grey. Unfortunately, grey isn't a popular color for pick-a-bricks, so the LEGO store doesn't carry any of the bricks I need, which means my only options are LEGO shop at home or bricklink. Only one of those options gives me reward points. Anyway, I did a first attempt at the base, figuring out what does and doesn't work. It turned out pretty darn ugly looking, and while I did take a picture of it, I think it best for the sake of my tens of thousands ten five four maybe(?) readers to bury it.
Now then, incorporating the bricks from Cinderella's carriage for a Frozen set did prove to be a little more challenging than I first anticipated. I'm still figuring out the best way to proceed, but in the meantime I did throw something together. Balcony
It was made more for looks than actually being structurally stable. I already took it apart to build a snowflake pattern with all of those studs. Speaking of which... Stud Muffins I used this effect for the floor. It's trans blue bricks covered by 1x1 stud tiles. I tried to pattern it to see of this would work, and it did. The stud pattern is visible, and the 1x1 clear studs actually give it a sort of frosted effect. It may not look that frosty in photos, but I like how it turned out. I'll probably be fiddling around with this idea more. I tried making a snowflake pattern, but I ran out of clear bricks to cover it. XP
GET OFF MY LAWN!
