Day Three of my work on my cobbled together LEGO Tokyo Imperial Hotel was delayed as I was unable to utilize the laptop, as the missus was using it to do some homework - to write an 800 word essay.
All I know is - if I spent the same length of time on my blogs as it took to create that essay over four days, I would have killed myself by falling on some pointed-ended LEGO.
Regardless... I found an hour to build a tint section of the Hotel.
Strangely, it was tough to construct, as I truly lack bricks that enable one to build at numerous angles rather than simply up... I had to get creative to make something that would work - and lo-and-behold, it did.
In the photo below, that lone grey cube on the left had a hole through the middle of it, so I inserted a pin with a head into it, which allows me to build sideways, which is what I did with the multicolored tiles.
I have no idea what Wright was really planning with the original, but even still, it looks pretty.
I'm actually looking at all of the colored bricks I have used in this build, and think that I prefer it to the drab sandstone, and greys and blacks that would have made-up the original Frank Lloyd Wright designed building.
At least when I create the Hotel out of the multi-colored bricks, I am still shooting from symmetry, ensuring that whatever color is used on the left, is properly mirrored on the right.
At this point in the evening, I have actually finished Day Four, and will tell you for free that I have another week or two more before I am finished.
Cheers
