sniff (wipes tear from eye) I love that set!

Some thoughts about microscale:
- It’s hard (at least for me, it’s difficult to create in this scale - maybe it will get easier with practice, but I found it to be quite challenging).

Well, you make the fantastic look EASY! I’m SO impressed you especially made
the cowboy hat! ‘Cowboy-hat-man’ (as I called him when i was younger & still
do) was my favorite ‘fig from my fav set. Well played. PLEASE tell us you
entered this in Lego’s LDD competition (I don’t think they’d mind micro
inspiration from an official model-a good homage to great design IMO) although
there might be some previous-set copyright issues. I’d suggest doubling the
transparent slopes on the car port for a 4-wide roof window, & reverse the 1x2
panel winshields on the cars so the high part is facing the driver to more
closely approximate the ‘backward-slope’ of classic windshields; eventually,
when the new 1x1x2/3 slopes become more widely available (in clear or light
trans blue) they would be well used here (as seen in other LDD entries with mini
cars) Again, great job!
