I just wanted to tip my hat off to all of you that did a simply stupendous and
awesome job on the convention, I have been truly inspired! This goes way beyond
anything I could have imagined!
I have a few comments: Did TLG (LG) ever help you in terms of ordering bulk
pieces or whatever? Some of those places (I.E. River, roads, quarry) must have
several thousand bricks each. Second, did you contact them with your overall
display? I hope it would stir up some coals away from the Town Juniorization of
all sets.
Finally, I have a building question. On all of your buildings, did you build
both the interior and exterior, or just the interior. I am OK at building
buildings, but my biggest stumbling block has to be getting an interior,
structurally sound building.
Again, great job, keep up the great work!
