I thought it would be bigger. Still nutty.........
It was certainly a challenge. The diagrams were really well done, but some parts of them were really hard to make out, and I have perfect vision. And like I said in the OP, my back is really sore today. Normally I would have done something like that at the dining room table, but SQ is working from home and that's her desk. Plus the cats would have bothered me constantly while I was trying to concentrate. So I used our patio table and sat in a folding chair, bent over at the waist pretty much the entire time. My thumbs are also shot from pressing the pieces in. I didn't anticipate the physical toll this thing would take on my body.I would seriously need new bifocals to even attempt that.
And patience lots of patience
So since I have all this free time at home and nothing to do with it, I ordered one of these miniature knock off Lego models of The Swamp recently and spent the last two days building it. All told, I think it took me roughly 10-11 hours and I ruined my back, but the end result was pretty awesome. Even shot a time lapse video of the construction. Law will be disappointed to hear that fresh paint and drop tile ceilings were not included.
They got their $1,200 check, quit their jobs and ordered big screen TVs.Don't any of you people work?......
I bought my big screen TV before this all went down. Now I have $2400 to spend on hookers and blow.They got their $1,200 check, quit their jobs and ordered big screen TVs.

Did you shave your arms and legs so the friction wouldn't slow you down while building, or are you a competitive swimmer?It was certainly a challenge.

He’d be another Covid-19 death.So I was pondering a potential scenario. What if Sas invited @Swamp Donkey over to admire his creation and out of sheer spite towards Sas & his socialist viewpoints, Donk picked the LEGO creation up and smashed it into a thousand pieces as he laughed diabolically!
What would you do Sas? That would be some pretty funny schit! My suggestion is maybe Ox be there to film the incident and the ensuing brawl. He could then post it here and charge $49.95 per person to watch (heck, maybe he could live stream it). I’d pay to see that brawl.
P.S.- I’ve got to tip my hat to you Sas. That’s a really impressive model you built. The background artwork is also really cool!
I’m not a hairy person, I didn’t even shave regularly until I was in college. But hey, if you normally ask other men you don’t know about their grooming habits, then you do you.Aren't Sasquatches supposed to be hairy? Just sayin.
