Hi, yes, I pretty much agree that it is likely that if it reached review it would get dumped unless as Anachir suggests above the new stunt ramp could in some way be utilised, though I think it unlikely as it has a very different design and no technic pins which would make it very difficult to construct. When I first started to design this I hadn't really considered things like the age of the parts it was only when I came to think about and then actually purchase parts for it that I realised how rare and old those ramps were, I still love it though, but am trying with the new projects to keep it to stuff that's still in use like using the Ghost busters Ecto one windscreen for the room on the Apothcary's cottage :). https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:423d84a1b2194eab86c47c4143c7d103. Current project i'm struggling to think of what to use as the roof without basically copying the blacksmith :(.

So this is my first ever creation in Studio.io only possible due to lockdown and my kids isolating with my parents to let me carry on working leaving me with a lot of evenings free :(. So I put that frustration into something creative and came out with this: https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:6aa026811480406bb23ff3ce22bb9e58?s=m The Inn is frankly enormous consisting of the limit of 3k parts, I started with trying to build a farm house and basically ended up just spiralling down a rabbit hole of ideas until I ended up with this. I'm still working on it here and there, the front and back of the roof ends have changed since it was submitted and I clawed back some parts to put a few more details inside the top floors. I've also been buying parts to build as much as I can of it myself. Anyway I hope you like it, also open to discussions on thoughts for improvements or criticism (though please keep it constructive :)) Tavern image 1 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 11 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 2 by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 9 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 4 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 5 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 7 by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 8 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image-1st floor by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 6 (Large) by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 10 by maxxev, on Flickr This is where I am so far IRL 20210310_204329 by maxxev, on Flickr

Not very good at checking messages!! Yes I agree the roof slopes would be a problem getting this made commercially via Ideas, likely the roof would need to be redesigned, but it's Lego IDEAS and the blacksmith doesn't look anything like how it was submitted to lego ideas so I guess Lego are fine with making changes if they like the idea of the set... Either way I enjoyed making it and building it (my wallet not so much!). I have now had a go at redesigning the front as I Wasn't happy with it and this is where the inn stands now.

Lord of the Rings Minifigures - Filling the Gaps
maxxev replied to Seaber's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Yes, they art REALLY good, only comment is that the leg armour just means the torsos aren't very secure, perfectly fine for displaying though. As always you might find some of the arms don't fit as snuggly as your like but they are really quite decent! Lots of different torso print designs too which is a nice touch. -

[LEGO IDEAS] Japan 🗾 Forest Fort (Extendable/opening)
maxxev replied to MasterStud's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Really nice set with tonnes of character, great job though I have to say I again do find the images particularly busy and the hard shadows make it rather difficult to see things clearly... sorry! -
Wonderful stuff!
-
Love it, that roof is great :)
-
Really great, I love the rocks and that bridge is amazing.
-
Wonderful stuff, great job!

Looks great and I supported it straight away but please get part designer and sort out the orientation of that banner ! :)

Build progress update, lots of bricks missing yet. 20210404_083817 by maxxev, on Flickr

It's a really old piece from fabuland if I recall.

My tavern got some tweaks, bit of redecoration here and there and the back wall got re-worked. New pictures have been submitted to Lego so should be up soon. Stallion knights got revised to make the heraldry a bit bigger and I changed it's orientation, mostly because when I printed out some to use as decals they weren't big enough lol. Oh and I changed it to red-brown from dark brown. Would appreciate the support if anyone hasn't already and likes the design - thank you. https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:6aa026811480406bb23ff3ce22bb9e58?s=m Tavern image PR by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern_finished_COMPLETE v2_4 by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern_Finished_take apart for build_6 by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 2 by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern image 3 by maxxev, on Flickr Tavern Folk by maxxev, on Flickr

Update as I've nearly finished the 2nd storey... well the front anyway, missing lots of bits from the chimney presently!. Still waiting for deliveries from Bricklink and Lego. Having to use some proxies where Lego don't make the pieces in Red-brown here and there. 20210318_075147 by maxxev, on Flickr 20210318_075209 by maxxev, on Flickr
