Funwhole friday the Ski Lodge

Opps I got muy days mizxed up of course today is Thursday :)

Good Morning, continuing my Friday series of sharing shots of Funwhole kits I have built.
I thought i would start with a short story of how I got back into building these brick kits

Our Grandson got a Lego set of a car and one Friday when he visited us as he does each week he brought the car with him and was building it.
as I was watching it It got me thinking how i used to love buildign things with Mecanno and lego when I was young and thought i would get a set and give it a try

Well the Big L brand is what I looked at first and was almost goign to order one and a lighting kit from another company for it, when I saw somewhere a review for a kit from a company called Funwhole ( yes a weird name I know LOL) so I did some research and found a group on facebook and even lego builders were very impressed with them, the kits are a lot more affordable and come with the lighting kits, so I decided to get one and give it a go.

Well I guess I got addicted and have been working through a few of their kits and love them, the quality is as far as I am concerned on a par with the big L, the details and lighting are amazing, and for me the builds are fun relaxing and also keep my hands and brain busy so I will probably keep going with them :) hopefully I will have less time each day to work on them when the weather is nice and my shoulder better getting out taking and then editing photos.

but incase I dont and to display some of the sets I dont have a spot for right now I am goign to set up some shelving in our basement in one area for them

This week I will talk about the Ski Lodge it is part of the retro house collection and has 2187 Pieces

Tried to get a bit creative with this first photo the snow covered tree snow inthe foreground and sky I added in photoshop.
Doign composites in photoshop is soemthign I rearely do with my photos I like to keep the scenes i catch on my outdoor walks as I see them, but was fun trying this image even though I knwo it looks so so fake

I love this first stage of a build when you finish the bace and get an idea of the size of it you can see some of the wires for the lighting in this shot
