Creator 31009 Alternate: Robot Garage

[GregoryBrick]

Hi everyone! I am sharing an alternate build I made from set 31009: Small Cottage. Eurobricks user Rufus wrote a great review of the set here. It is one of my favourite modern sets, as I find it quite charming and to have a lot of potential in its relatively smaller size as buildings go.

This build may appear simple, but was rather challenging to get just right. Allow me to show you some of the features. Below you can see the exterior, with the large sliding steel door, the utility lamp hanging alongside it, and the small pool which laps at the side of our building. Here you can see some of what was challenging - getting that red stripe all along the eaves while still being structurally sound took some patient rearranging and allocation of elements.

Here is the interior. You can see the roof cutaway (and if you look closely, see some pot lights in the rafters), as well as the sink with water and faucet for cleaning up. Another challenge is present here - getting that cutaway symmetrical and stable, and having sufficient red elements for the gables.

Every inventor's garage requires tools, and this one is no different. We have a drill press, a tool chest with an oil can, some shelving, and some crates of various material. All of this fits easily inside the garage.

If you have a robot garage, you'd better build a robot!

And here is what was left over. Not too bad, I think.

This was a lot of fun to build and share. I hope you enjoy the pictures and description.

Nice alternation! I build one for myself too. I like the metal sliding door!

Thanks for sharing. Very appreciated.
