So I finally got my hands on a cafe corner the other day, which I have to add is
only my 3rd post color change set purchase and I sat down a built it yesterday.
Upon opening the uber cool new recloseable box the WOW factor really hit me.
This set is literally an AFOL’s dream. There are tons of parts in useable sizes
quantities and colors. I was very impressed. I sorted the bags and began
drooling over the dark blue brick, which was seemingly included just for AFOL
enjoyment.
So I started building it swapping every dark blue brick I could for tan and
4hrs later I had the finished model sitting in front of me minus all but 12 dark
blue parts. So I sat the model in front of me and took it all in. all in all I
really have to say it’s an awesome build but there were several things that just
really bugged me.
During the second floor build I was surprised to find that for 7 bricks in
height the inner and outer walls had no connections to each other. This was
really a pain as I had a hard time keeping it together during assembly however
once assembled it is plenty strong. My only other gripe is the 3 holes left by
the inner support structure that all of the turntables are connected too. These
holes really detract from the model and I just couldn’t take it. I fixed the top
one by covering it with a 1x4 tan plate but the others however, were not so
easy. I tried finding simple fixes and although a 1x2 reddish brown panel would
have fixed the second floor hole, I decided to modify my set quite a bit so it
flowed better all the while eliminating the holes as well.
you can see the solution i came up with here:
