So..........the models finally got moved out to the garage and I am happy to report that we have more room now than ever. But we still aren't quite ready to build our main table yet.
With all of this down time I came to a realization. Trying to build this whole idea with Faller models is not helping to get my family involved in the project. Faller models are delicate (as you have seen) and difficult to build.
And then a new idea hit me:
It started when I found Lego's new Mixer model (above). It recreates a miniature carnival ride and even packs back up on a semi to go to the next location. Very cool!
And then Lego released a Ferris Wheel. And I started thinking about how much Autumn and I love to build Legos (and my wife loves the mini-figs) and how sad it is when we finish our models and they end up falling apart in boxes.
So, after some thought, we have decided to build our theme park out of Lego bricks (using some of Lego's boxed models and some originals we will build) but still using real hills and roads and grass, etc.
So get ready for some updates to see what we have so far. It's time to get excited again!
