Such a meaningful and sweet project 
You can really feel the love and passion put into it!
Looking at your journey is amazing!! And that ship looks so majestic and intense. It’s so cool how you customized almost every single piece in the living room to make it truly yours! 
It really is a powerful feeling to see it completely lit up like that 
Your hobby journey is so inspiring. Keep bringing the fire!
Thank you! I have gotten so much out of each and every build!
Glad to have you in the group by the way!
Wow, what an incredible concept! I love what you did with replacing the snow with all that lush greenery 
Aww, thank you so much! It’s really wonderful being here. This community is so incredibly welcoming and inspiring, and I always look forward to seeing everyone’s amazing creations
It’s beautiful! I see passion and love! Thank you for sharing!
Months of planning? I struggle to plan what I’m having for dinner. Seriously though, that’s an amazing achievement!! This kit deserves an award!
Oh me too!! 
but here is how it went down I had to get the vision in my head to be represented in real life. Maybe I’m not good at doing that but. I had to first get an idea of what I wanted. Picture how I wanted it to look. I had to Figure out how and what is feasible to create with the resources I have. Then decide if the resources available were useable or just had to be set aside. Once I had all that, the details of how to go about getting it done took place
I had to learn how to make styrofoam or cardboard into stone and rock. And make it look believable lol
How to learn how to paint miniature gaming figures.
Then had to procure all the materials I needed or couldn’t make myself. Honestly this took the longest.
So.. after all that yeah it took months. I got the idea back in December of last year and finished it the end of May this year. Labor of love yall, labor of love 
That’s awesome! Finishing it is already an achievement.
The pagoda really tested your patience more than your building skills. 
But that’s what makes finally finishing it feel so rewarding. You earned that “I survived” moment!
That’s awesome! Weeks of hard work, but you got there in the end.
Sounds like plain and ordinary never stood a chance with you.
That’s a beautiful way to look at it.
I love that comparison!
That’s such an awesome feeling!
What a beautiful tribute to your grandma.
That’s such a great story. It’s awesome that your friends gave you the confidence to experiment.
