    This looks lovely. It also looks like it would require quite a bit of patience, but it would be worth it.

      That’s most of the art sets tbh. I knocked off about 35 small details of the great wave about 2 years ago and I’ve yet to sit down to figure out where they all go lol. It still looks great

    Shame on anyone that doesn’t put a spaceman or dragon or something on or under the bridge. Making this purely as instructed is just putrid to me.

    turning beloved works of classical art into plastic trash is just one more flag on the mountain slalom of late stage capitalism.

      How is it that you’re commenting that specifically on a LEGO community, with literally hundreds of previous examples of LEGO builds aiming to imitate a variety of art and real-world constructs, people, plants, animals and various gadgets?

      Fall out of bed on the wrong side, today?

      I agree and have come to realise, many are not familiar with the silent “t” in Le(t)go.
