picked this up for the next big project with mom, figured a big cathedral was castle-ish enough that mom would be interested, and hopefully i’ll have the lights in for the enterprise soon since mom has seemed really interested in that one too. huzzah projects, here come some pictures. oh also i thought it was neat they had a timeline on the back of the box (and i think we sort of build on in that order too). i didn’t really know it took them six hundred entire earth years to build the thing. at least it should take us less time?
