another of my contributions to railfair 27 was the 18-hole mini-putt golf
course inspired by my 12-year-old niece, jenna. we spent a week in maine
this summer & we took her & her younger brother to a large mini-putt with
one hole played inside the mountain under the waterfall and another played
over 3 different levels. she suggested i create one in lego.
the course includes some of the most typical challenges you might find
- the windmill, the sand and water traps, the bridge over water - & some
that i haven’t seen anywhere but in my head - the hole with the whirling
tops & the hole on the mini-island.
the course ends at the 18th with the wedding chapel (microscale in homage to
janey red brick) and finishes under the microscale gazebo. thanks to 3
yodas, i had enough (just about) sand green plates. the course takes its
title from its location on the layout beside the municipal airport but you
can’t miss this mini-putt from the air.
the cabin houses the maintainance equipment on one side & the office on the
other. the roof makes good use of the ubiquitous trap door pieces that our
group seems to have more than enough of. they were being maligned so i
thought i’d find a better use for them.
special thanks go to parlugment’s jason for the golf club idea & ka-on and
tim for the loan of the “golf balls”.
enjoy

Four!!!!!! Don’t kids just have the greatest ideas???
I really enjoyed this MOC! It was fun, attractive and well detailed.
I love MOCs that children can relate to, and from looks on many of the kids
faces, they did really relate. Nicely done, Deborah.
On a personal note, I’m really pleased you felt compelled to add the micro
builds as well!
And look at all those cute happy smiling faces happy to finally be free of
storage boxes, (wink.)
