#build report

Oh no, it's another microphone build report! This one is the micparts RK-47 capsule and 990B DIY circuit board.

This is a long one, so it has to be in two parts.

LEGO Build Report: The White House

Ships and buildings are my thing when it comes to LEGO, but by buildings, I tend to mean sets that are part of the Creator Expert category rather than famous architectural buildings. However, far from me to turn down a free LEGO set! My father-in-law found a brand new set for me at a yard sale — box open, but pieces still in their individual bags! I had a lot to do during the spouse’s March work…

LEGO Build Report: NASA Space Shuttle Discovery

Once upon a time, I was going to be an astronaut. Then I learned more about math and science and noped straight out of that. My career goals changed, but my passion for space never waned. Even though most of the ships in my LEGO collection are of the Star Wars variety, I finally finished up my NASA trifecta during a weekend in March with the Space Shuttle Discovery set. (You can also find my…

LEGO Build Report: International Space Station

I asked Twitter which LEGO set I should build next during my spouse’s February work weekend. The overwhelming winner was the Space Shuttle Discovery, a set that clocks in at over 2,000 pieces. That’s definitely a 2-day build. Unfortunately, I lost all of Saturday to boring grown-up stuff, so I substituted the International Space Station for the winning set on Sunday. It’s not necessarily a…

LEGO Build Report: The Child

You know by now that I’m a “ships and buildings” sort of girl, in the types of LEGO sets that I buy for myself. That doesn’t mean I’ll stick my nose up when friends gift me sets they’ll think I enjoy. In this case, I received a combined Christmas/birthday gift in the form of the adorable Baby Yoda himself. I enjoyed a quiet weekend afternoon of building him while the spouse was away at work. The…

LEGO Build Report: Bookshop

That awkward moment when you almost completely forget to blog about the LEGO build that is the MOST RELEVANT to your entire brand. Actually, that might also be completely on-brand for me. Last fall, I kicked the reorganization of my LEGO room guest room into high gear, which led to the completely obvious distraction of building another set instead of anything more productive. I always have so…

LEGO Build Report: Escape from The Ten Rings & Battle at the Ancient Village

Last month, I was honored to officiate the wedding of my best friend to her beautiful new wife. The officiant is not typically part of the full bridal party, but they considered me on par with the Best Man. They know their friends well, and my bridal party gift from the new couple included two LEGO sets I never would have purchased on my own. Both are from the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the…
