This looks awesome! I think the paper towel roll is a nice touch!

Okay, I have read through this thread, but I still haven't found my answer. I have always kept my bricks in an environment that doesn't get too warm. I have had them in room temperature (1995-2000), then in my basement (2000-2011). The temperature in the basement wasn't too cold (perhaps as low as 40-50 degrees F). I had no issues with cracking, but some of my older pieces had lost their clutching power (but not too much; there is only one piece that doesn't clutch anymore, out of perhaps 40,000 bricks). Then in 2011, had some flooding issues and the basement was smelly and the walls inside my LEGO room were affected with mildew. I ended up "evaucating" my bricks into storage tubs back to room temperature and had some on display on a 2' by 8' table since December 2013. Now, I want to recreate my LEGO city (I used to have 73 square feet of table space for my city). The thing is, the best place to place my city is in the attic (the basement is no longer an option). However, it gets very cold in the winter and very warm in the summer. The attic is not insulated and it generally follows this: January - February: low ranges from about 0s to 30s F March - June: average temperature between 30s and 70s F July - August: temperatures get as high as 110s F September - October: average temperature between 30s and 70s F November - December: low ranges from 0s to 30s F Very rarely is there a sharp change in temperature, it's all very gradually throughout the year. The cold months are somewhat bearable, although I would not want to be up there longer than 20 minutes without freezing. In the hotter months (July/August), I don't like to be up there because I can barely breath. I can probably stand it for 10 minutes, maybe longer if I had a fan running, but these temperatures only last for a couple of months. My question is, will my bricks be okay in this cycle? I am not talking about for storage, I am talking for actual display and building, along with sets put together. Some of the buildings I have put together are 14-15 years old, and my oldest bricks were purchased in 1995, although most of the bricks in my collection were purchased between 1999 and 2007. Will my bricks be okay?

Oh my gosh. The awesome.

One word: Incredible.

Amazing details! And the use of space is incredible!

Man, this is incredible. I love the fireplace and the lounge and the details of the kitchen are AMAZING!

Same! This is a nice MOC. The river banks look nice.

Done.

My first minifugure is actually a three-way-tie. It was May of 1997 (or 1998). For my 6th or 7th birthday, I got this LEGO construction set: http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/images/6565-1.jpg I still have the minifigures, but I am not sure which ones, as I have a couple other minifigures from other construction sets.

Holy awesome. That is just... wow. Holy awesome.

Holy Cow. That is an awesome MOC!

Nice! I would love to see the rest of the building...

Oh wow! I love the building.

Oh I remember those days with Johnny Thunder. I remember looking through the catalogs (which I still have) circling all the adventures sets I wanted. And on Lego Island 2, when Pepper met up with the adventurers. Although the new sets look cool, it looks to me like they are ripping off the old characters with new characters by pretty much changing their names and how they look. Except for that hat. Prof. Hale has the same hat that Dr. Kilroy wore.

WOW! Those are very nice!
