Sunday was our first visit to the Lego Store in weeks; had to get the Women of NASA set! In many ways I missed going, especially when it comes their kiosk for building minifigs! I can’t remember what Somara was making but I was trying to score new styles of hair and accessories (found only eight of these bitchin’ helmets I want to use for a future Star Wars fighter squadron)…then, inspiration hit when I found the musketeer hat, the tweed torso and the head with a big handlebar mustache! This is my attempt to recreate America’s 26th president by combining his Rough Riders fame (the hat, pistol) and how many Americans picture him from old photos in history books.
I feel this creation also moves me one step closer toward my goal of becoming a Master Builder! The key is demonstrating how you can repurpose existing Legos to create what you’re intending.
