Interlude: Jabba's Palace

A very quick anecdotal update. I know this blog is supposed to be about my various gaming/painting/drawing projects with some old school flavour. But what the hell, the occasion deserves it. This Christmas, my wife gave me this gift:

 

The box says "9-14 years". We completed it just in one afternoon

 

Last monday we had all the bricks strewn on a table and mounted it.

 

That's my wife gettin' turned into the geeky side of the Force

The gift was really indeed a surprise, I didn't expect anything like this, so it makes it more valuable.

Though apparently a 9 years old kid can set this, we needed the instructions manual

 

Yes, there are only photos of her, I believe she enjoyed even more than I did

The kit isn't exactly small:

We need some sand to set in the Palace

 

This is its aspect once on the shelf:

E chu ta! Cheesa beecha wonky Chewbacca!

Believe or not, this is almost the first LEGO set I've already had, apart from some small kits from some years ago. That's why I decided to share :)

Nothing else today. Back to our regular programme, I'll be back with Dreadfleet as promised next friday. See you then!
