Last update. Recovery after cat attack is finished!

Merry christmas to all of you crazy lego folks out there

very soon you will run out of spaces to display your modulars on the display shelf. Is it me or the photo? because the cafe corner look bright red to my eyes?

The "red" Cafe Corner is my wife's custom Christmas version. The real one is in there also! We have our plan for Assembly Square with some minor rearranging. But after that, we will need to rethink the display. Thanks for the kind words!

Nice display! But I think I'm more impressed with your present wrapping skills...string, bows and all are decently wrapped... Nice work!
 

Thanks Kevin! Love the GIF! My wife takes her present wrapping very seriously! She does not mess around when it comes to Christmas! I'll pass on the kind words to her, she will appreciate the compliment!

A red cafe corner..oh cool.... very good to see that your wife share your passion and of course very well done and well displayed. I got no doubt that after the assembly square, you will think up a much bigger and better display area. Best wishes to you then.

Hi

even though investing in Lego has become more challenging, the potential to build anything your imagination comes up with has never been greater.

A while ago I decided I wanted to MOC my own house, recycling some profits from the reselling business in a really fun project. It took me a long time - clearly I lack lots of techniques, but I'm happy to show you the current status. 

   

 

I'm on a building break now before I open up the rooms to add some light bricks I bought from a Dutch specialized website. 

Once they are up and running, I'll probably post all the interiors too... (everything is 'Modular' - at least I learned something from my PS adventures :-))

Take care.

Awesome tree. That's impressive. Can you post large pics of it?

We moved late last year, so the city has been able to expand:

Couple of fun close-ups,

Avengers: Grocery War

Fantasy courtyard:

 

My first post here.  I came out of the dark ages a about four months ago, in February.  This set up has been up for about 2 months now.  Kinda stole the wife's stand.  I have the minifigures for all of the sets but did not want to put them up yet.  I recently built the Parisian Restaurant and London Bridge.  Brick bank is unbuilt and I believe the wife bought me the detective office for my upcoming birthday.  I am messing around with some light bricks, a few wires and such can be seen sitting on top of the fire station.  We are living in a condo so room is limits.  Have an entire empty house though but it is 75 miles away, go figure.  We rented the house out for 3 months and that really helped with the funding for this and the unpictured collection.  I have been buying a lot of bulk lots in the hopes of building some fan designed buildings. 

I have some serious catching up to do with some of you all.  I have seen some very nice setups on here and it makes me want to get mine in a better situation.  I wish I hard started back sooner.  I wanted to right as the modulars were coming out but was hit with too much college debt.  I did get my feet a little wet right before that and got a few nice trains.  You know what they say about hindsight.

Looks good, at least you started Green Grocer/Cafe Corner, wish I hadn't sold my Cafe Corner but a $400 markup just before a new home purchase kinda forced me into it.

My real question is why is he working, and not running around looting the ghost town?

nobody going to mention the arrogant bastard ale on the shelf?

Look at my half collection! Six ucs sets (one is downstairs-snowspeeder-)! Like if you like!!

UCS- super star destroyer, slave 1, sandcrawler(on the shelf in the background), tie fighter, snowspeeder (downstairs) and Death Star!!!:)

Tell me more about that monitor. It looks pretty sweet.

Its a Samsung CF791 34" Ultrawide on a articulating arm i purchased from amazon.

Tell me more about that monitor. It looks pretty sweet.

 

Thought the same thing, why is the stand off center like that? Is there a functional reason or is more of a fashion statement.

 

Keyboard looks pretty sweet too.

The monitor articulates and is mounted in the clear pass through hole of the desk (which is centered) there was just now way to keep the monitor arm symmetric

My Lego Room:

I  come here after I fight with my wife to relax/recover.

Still working on arranging sets due to spacing issues.

How did you get a pre-order in on the new Taj Mahal 3 weeks before general release?

lol... I was able to sell one a few weeks ago for $500. Mitigating my loss for the new one.

Sorry for the double post but I had to skim those pictures down a little :-)

 

So this is only some part of my collection (maybe obviously) but a part worth to be displayed and shared.

First up we got the Christmas decoration. It's still out and I got to change that soon but it's sooo cold outside that it's still somewhat fitting.

Secondly my first modular street. It counts 4 modulars now so it can be called a street :-)

There's also a lot going on inside of the buildings and behind the buildings but sadly I'm not able to display all of it.

 

Hope you enjoy it.

I thought that there was a display forum, but I can't find it on my phone so this one will do.

Below is this year's Christmas setup except for the stockings on the wall. We have a larger, fuller tree which presented some problems and I grow tired of stringing lights through the town (Assembly Square is a terrible setup for this).

Enjoy!

So my son (age 11) is moving on from playing with Lego to building and displaying Lego.  So my question is what are you using for build area and a display space.
