The painter is better than anything I can shoot- I have never gotten the lighting to work for something like that.



And in terms of the lost part, rangefinders from NZ sources. They'll work with most Grand Army of the Republic clone troopers and any Boba which has holes in the helmet.

20 anniv UCS slave 1 = 120 eur

UCS slave 1 = 240+ eur

20th has extra parts  :facepalm:

I'm pretty sure I have a bunch of extra rangefinders (and clone/mando visors) somewhere

I remember buying some of those clone trooper "battle packs", such as 8014 and 7913 and they came with range finders.
Shame they don't make those clone troopers anymore.  :-[
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Figured it was time to join brickset and rebrickable.

I guesstimated the main sets I have, which isn't a whole lot, plus I have a lot of random extra parts to inventory, not to mention some of my sets are likely missing some parts over the years moving around.

I thought this was interesting:
https://www.ecowatch.com/lego-renewables-goal-2413131137.html

Apparently, in 2017, The Lego Group announced that the output of the renewable energy farms that they supported via investments was greater than the amount of energy that they used as a company, worldwide.

The amount of energy production that their investment can be attributed to? 160 megawatts.
Investment value: 800 million €.

Plan was for Emmet's desk.
Found the curtain rail thing and thought coffee > desk.
Still need to sort out better lighting.
And a couch or two.

I was a bit sad to replace the blue piece of cardboard but I'm hopeful this setup will work better.
Guess we'll see.

I've assembled 5 of my 8 non Star Wars sets (those are already assembled) and am up to 27 parts missing, mostly very small parts, but a couple humdingers that will be more expensive to replace. I have built and disassembled the sets, but kept them separated by set from the rest. I'm not 100% sure I remember all the sets I have, but I am now pretty close apart from perhaps some minor additional parts sets.

I have 2 more space and a castle set to go. Then I can finally inventory the rest of what I have.
