The Big Wheel !

 

This is the piece we wanted the most! The Lego Creator series Ferris Wheel. We were so excited to build this. So let's do it!

 

 

This is what 2464 bagged pieces looks like. Lots of fun right around the corner for sure!

 

 

 

Completing the main base gives us a hint at just how big this project is going to be.

 

 

 

Here's a mysterious little build. This is the first "mechanical" piece you will put together. Wonder what it's for?

 

 

 

Actually, it becomes part of this little apparatus. After some twisting and turning and a bit of finesse, we finally got it to fit in. Once finished, it will help to raise and lower the floor, allowing little Lego folks to get in and out of the buckets.

 

 

Here we begin to see the operator's control room take shape.

 

 

For the most part, the base is ready to go. Complete with the finished control room, guard railings and even an ice cream stand. Things are beginning to look great. Next up, we start the actual wheel itself.
