This thing went together really quickly, at least by my standards. What made it even more interesting was the fact that we basically built it upside-down, starting with the tallest tower and building toward what would be the ground. It did help with defining the overall footprint. I’m really pleased with the outcome as well, it was a fun build. Usually I’d end up tearing a substantial portion of something like this apart at least once, but there were only very minor rebuilds. (And I only dropped a portion of the structure once, but the chunks were large and easily reassembled.)

Oh, and it really helps to have a large, well-organized collection like Steve’s when you want to do a fast build. Those hours you spent cleaning up the LEGO room were not wasted!

And don’t worry, I kept the Bionicle pieces pretty well hidden, nobody should see them. ;)

Great job finishing the bottom floor and supports, that turned out really well. Thanks for letting me help, that was really a fun time.
