I haven't played with my LEGOs in years but have decided to build a Minifig scale replica of the house i intend to build in a couple years. Eventually its going to be a big model of my whole property which is 5+ acres (350'x700'). I dug out my stash of LEGOs from my parents basement last week, but ill likely be ordering what i need due to colors. I went to the local LEGO store and bought 4 48x48 baseplates to start, i wasn't that impressed with the brickwall, it was mostly random things no one would ever want in bulk.
i joined here as ill need some advice on how to build a few things like the roof.
my first dilemma is that one of the pieces i will need is difficult to find. The house will be a log cabin and the corners i want to build like this one.
