  • Опубліковано 16 жов 2022
  • I bought the Lego Brand Store (set #last40574) last month in the Lego store in Brighton, England.
    I never like buildings when they don't have a roof, and it seemed odd that half the building had one floor, whereas the other half had 2 floors - so I extended the top floor over all the ground floor.

    I like the final open view. As a final option, you can place other buildings beside this one so you don't have to make side walls. Same with the backside. Buildings with no backsides can be used up against the wall in a city, but if the city doesn't have a wall to lay against, you can place another building behind it. Cool videos, very enjoyful.

    • @MinifigJez
      @MinifigJez  Рік тому +3

      Yes, I agree, it definitely looks better open. and you're completely right, if I place other buildings next to it, I won't need to add side walls.

    • @MinifigJez
      @MinifigJez  Рік тому +1

      A second set would fix the walls etc, but not give you the right parts for the roof.
      I just used some parts from my own spares, and ordered about 80 other bits from Bricklink.com.
      If you don't mind about not having a roof, two sets would enclose the store really nicely.

    • @MinifigJez
      @MinifigJez  Рік тому +1

      When it’s closed it’s 16 studs wide.
      Then when you open it out, you get 8 extra studs on each side and it’s 32 studs wide.

      Don't apologise... YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!
      If you look at 05:26 you'll see that when it's closed it looks fine (which is how I built it, without remembering that I needed two tiles next to each other, in the middle, so that it looks correct when it's open!!!!!!)
