picked this one up to be the next project with mom, figured it would also look cool when we’re done (check out that water in the front) and after this we’ve got neuschwanstein castle too. having a really good time doing all these sets both with mom and the ones i’ve done on my own. if you’d asked me a year ago if i was gonna be that guy i probably would have been surprised… but i also still have the lego bricks from the sets i got as a kid somewhere in my garage still. maybe i wouldn’t have been that surprised.
