Some people color. Some people do jigsaw puzzles. It appears that I will be doing Lego buildings.
The first hint that this was not as simple as the Beach Hut was the instruction guide - a full 1/2" thick.
There were 6 phases of building. It took me 13.5 hours to complete. And I enjoyed almost every minute of it. (I admit the scallops along the edges were kind of tedious.)
Because these kits are made to be played with like dollhouses, a lot of detail goes into the interiors.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. Pictures below.
One of my favorite features was the "leaded" glass bakery window. But it was a little tricky to install.

The detailed interior included an amazingly detailed dentist chair with spit sink and lamp:

A piano in the dance studio that was made from over 25 pieces:

And a roof hatch for the stairway:

That's not to overlook the tripod camera in the photography studio, the bathroom and folding fouton in the apartment, the drum set in the music store.
The completed front:

Pie lady in the front is from Series 17. She just fit here. |
The attention to detail continues to the back which is just as complete as the front, with a rear staircase and a rooftop cafe.
