I really like that you’ve successfully incorporated the smiley/grumpy bricks
and the curviness of the front verandah. The coach and escort are great too.

While I agree that your use of the smiley/grumpy bricks is great (salvages an
otherwise pretty unusable printed brick), it does point out a problem:
I have a hard time seeing them as anything other than grumpy bricks.
Of course, to a non-Lego person, this detail wouldn’t even be noticed. And to
someone well-versed in using pieces in non-traditional ways, it probably seems
effortless. But to me, I stuggle with these sorts of things. There is a word I
am looking for to describe it - myopia? I have a hard time seeing pieces being
used outside their usual function. I have the same problem trying to build in
any orientation other than studs up. What can be done to alleviate this
building block?
