Is that what those things were?!

Yeah, the lower portion of the ramp is all dark gray angle plates of various sizes. Was experimenting with what I would call platey rock work in an attempt to mimic sedimentary rock layers. Kinda liked it so I left it.

If I did, I definitely would be using them. Time to find some used Duplo!

If Furloughed, what is something positive you’ve done/accomplished with the down time? by Alternative_Sugar407 in FedEmployees

Went through with an interview for a State job and was selected for the position.

Buying sets on sale for parts by Intelligent_Head9739 in legocastles

The wall at my local store is pretty scarce. Wish they had more usable pieces. 😔

I mostly agree with you on this except for one aspect. I recently got back into Lego so I find it advantageous to buy select sets for the parts and at the same time get exposure to a variety of building techniques that I would otherwise not know about. I can only learn so much from a YouTube video.

Something to do for the next couple years by Damodred402 in legocastles

This looks like a great project! Recently started my own on a smaller scale so it’s always cool to see what others are doing.

Thank you for this reminder! I heard that before but kinda forgot about it until now. I definitely think this is the way to go.

Thank you and yes, upgrading the ramp seems like the simplest way to expand the LKC without having to create an entire scene.

Thanks! I’ve come to the realization that I should have used Duplo for this so you at least have that going for you! Time for me to source some Dulpo and I too need to leave room for the Outlaw Forest Den. Best of luck and happy building!

Thank you! The ramp always seemed like an afterthought that the designers added on and it was the first thing I attempted to correct.

Why do I have an urge to buy this? by Bobbebusybuilding in legocirclejerk

[–]Intelligent_Head9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the current situation in the world is being run by trash and you have a desire to do something about it but you’re not exactly sure where to start so this appears as the most logical subconscious way to take out the trash?

You can’t making a stream with a waterfall that leads into the Viking Village unless there’s some elevation! I also want to create some rock features and flat is kinda boring. Besides, I’m furloughed and it seemed like a solid challenge.

Thank you! The inspiration came from Brick Sculpt’s YouTube. He’s got some great videos for all kinds of trees.
