    I checked the downloadable files from Rebrickable, and they're both fine. Maybe you can't see the refrigerator because you accidentally deleted it or made it invisible? In any case, I recommend looking for tutorials for Stud.Io. Once you learn how to use it, you'll be fine. I can't say more; it's a too general request.

    I don't know how I can help you. You can download the Stud.io file from Rebrickable. What exactly did you need?

    I never wanted to have to write these words, but unfortunately this morning Rosco-PC lost his life in a tragic motorcycle accident. Anyone who met him even once in their life, anyone who exchanged even a few words, knows well what a kind and competent person he was. A person with an enormous gift. It is difficult to express the sense of despair that this sudden loss leaves. I send a hug to the family he leaves behind, to all the friends who mourn him. Goodbye Luca, may the earth rest lightly on you.

    Interesting threadn. In the last few months I have bought several sets from the 70s and 80s, complete with box. Often parts are a bit marked, sometimes they are missing. I have learned that there are some distinctive signs of specific periods of Lego, such as the position of the injection point of the ABS or the codes indicated below. I mostly try to use parts from the right period, sometimes using pieces that I have in bulk, sometimes buying them. Sometimes if they are very marked I polish them with abrasive paste from a body shop. For the boxes, when they are broken I repair them with strips of paper/cardboard by gluing them in unseen areas. It is a bit of a long job, but sometimes it is worth it.

    Yes, very lazy and absolutely useless a poster like this.

    Strange. They did not respect the angle nor the scale of the models. Some do not even look like on a 32x32 base even if taken from the front.

    Nice facade. Do you have some pictures of the inside?

    I think we developed the same idea, but the designer came up with it himself. I think a Lego set has a development time of at least two years and I thought about that scale at the beginning of 2023 to then I publish my modular at the end of the year, but I do it before Lego.

    Yes, the stairs look great!

    For me the exterior is really nice, but the interior as usual is very disappointing. Spaces are sacrificed to stuff more shops inside and I never like that. It seems they don't have the courage to make spaces big enough and more realistic. The pub is cramped, I don't understand why they add another tailor's shop, when one already existed in the jazz club. The watchmaker above is interesting, but again, this reduces the apartment to a dump. It seems that Lego designers don't like houses or apartments. Also, to me it still seems poor in terms of construction techniques. Nothing really new.

    You can see what's the part you need on Rebrickable, without dowloading the instructions. It's the third tab. It is called "Inventory"

    Personally, I see Lego as an expensive hobby where Lego itself makes a lot of money on enthusiasts with increasingly expensive, detailed and bulky sets on one hand and increasingly expensive, small and <insert that tiresome argument> sets on the other. I don't know if it's just my impression, but the medium-small sets are becoming more and more of a disappointment, especially when talking about Star Wars. That said, I also make several MOCs and sell the instructions, but this activity is simply part of the hobby, I would never dream of making a living from it, also because, let's be honest, if tomorrow Lego decided that selling instructions damages its image or creates economic issue, it could close any alternative market and force people to use only Ideas, for example. For this reason, yes, I agree to sell your own instructions because there is often months of work behind them, at least as far as I'm concerned, and I don't understand those who would always want them for free. Let me be clear, I thank those who put their work to be downloaded for free, but I have purchased several Moc instructions and when I built them they often gave me the same joy I felt when buying a Lego set. If I really have to be honest though, I would like those who decide to sell, to put more effort into creating the model and instructions, many times they do it with little care and you have to intervene. This should not happen if you pay.
