the sleepless weekend and camper van

finally found time last weekend to do up the lego volkswagen camper van, bought as my birthday gift 2 years ago.

there are 15 packs of bricks and accessories, and there is no label on the packs to differentiate the different stages during the building process. 2 instructional manuals are included and i counted 115 steps to complete the camper van.

feeling confident, i went ahead without first sorting out the bricks according to their sizes and colors. i started in the late afternoon, and managed to only complete instruction manual 1 by the time it was close to 10 pm.

i love the small details in the camper van. there is a small fridge, foldable table, seats, stove, shelves, mirror, curtains, and a hood. i was too engrossed in getting the van fixed that i forgot about dinner and supper.

it was close to 2 am by the time i completed the entire camper van.

the doors open on both sides in the front seat.

this is the side door that opens up to the interior of the back of the van. you can have a glimpse of the tiled interior, the fridge and stove beside the right door, the foldable table with a green glass, the 2 chairs (hidden in the shadows).

felt a sense of satisfaction to see the completed product. i would probably have to reserve more time for the london tower bridge.
