Oh, thanks Ste. I was kind of being a tight-wad in not just downloading the instructions and calculating the cost ... but "about a tenner" sounds do-able.

that right hand side is a bit raggety, looks like there are floating bricks. this is what i have, the rest i'm going to have to guess.

for the 2x2 square at the end on the right-hand side I did the following to avoid floating pieces:
top-down view of the 2x2 area, layers 1 to 3 from bottom to top:
layer 1: 1 = 1x2 grille piece, 2 = 1x1 plate, 3 = 1x1 brick with knob|1|2||1|3|layer 2: 1 = 2x2x1 plate corner (right-angle piece), 3 = already placed 1x1 brick with knob|1|1||1|3|layer 3: 1 = 1x2 grille piece, 2 = 1x1 plate, 3 = 1x1 brick with knob|1|2||1|3|

i just don't understand why he has runs of 5 edges all lined up like that. given that the gap is 5 plates high he could have a brick taking up 3 of those and then have a 2x6 all the way over.
maybe it's a pieces thing. i'm guessing this was done with the architectural lego box in mind and i don't know the the distribution in those boxes (although they were huge and expensive so you've think they'd run to more than five 2x6 plates)

oh. the studs-on-sides collide with the nipples inside the vertical tiles, which complicates things a bit and might explain things - the brick is in the middle of the 5 plate gap with a tile 1x2 above and below it
― koogs, Tuesday, 7 July 2020 20:55 (three years ago) link
yeah to place four of the stud-on-sides pieces to provide a good anchor for those two side-mounted flat pieces you need to stagger the vertical pattern a little

oh i forgot about the structure on the left, doh
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
lol i got too focused on how to avoid that floating grid piece
Ok so I forked out the £2, seems only one side has that vertical tile structure - which I didn't figure on at all. Makes things a lot easier.

(although looking at the top, I really should have got that)
I shouldn't try lego before bed
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:18 (three years ago) link
Wow. I think this is the most engaged anyone has ever been with a question I've asked on ILE/ILM!
I also stumped up the £2 and ordered most of the pieces for around £9.50 - there were a few pieces that didn't appear on the Lego website but its a present for someone with a child who has Lego so I am hoping that they have some pieces they can improvise with.
Again, thanks.

Cool, and somehow I got the price right even though I couldn't even build the flaming thing myself!
At least I know what I'll be attempting to build in Minecraft this weekend.
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:50 (three years ago) link
you may think I'm getting too obsessed with this cool building, I'll only start worrying if I attempt to build the thing out of my mashed potatoes and garden fencing.

here's how I did it:

― avellano medio inglés (f. hazel), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 02:05 (three years ago) link
Yep.
I used a 2x2 corner tile around the base of the laundry tower, rather than a 1x2 and a 1x1. Saved me about 10p. 8)

Where's good in the UK for buying Lego?
Wanted to buy this as a present but Lego aren't shipping to the UK at the moment, and it is double everywhere I have looked so far.

i'd offer to pop to westfield's lego shop for you and have a look (given it's about 10 minutes away) but i guess they're non-essential and closed.
― koogs, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 15:25 (three years ago) link
Ha!
Yes, non-essential in the scheme of things.
