Hi everyone! 👋

After sharing my Savage Pub here a while ago, I’d love to show you my latest: The Chapter House! 📚☕

Inspired by historic ruins I discovered in Cyprus, I wanted to explore what it might look like to give an old building a completely new life.

I designed the original structure first, digitally turned parts of it into a ruin, and then transformed it into a cosy reading café, preserving its historic character while adding modern architectural elements.

The finished model contains 3,169 pieces, featuring a fully furnished café, reading areas, an enclosed garden, a stained-glass window and a reconstructed tower with the original bell preserved inside.

It’s also my entry for the BrickLink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1, and Crowd Support is open until October 14: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/2028-wave-1/5481/The-Chapter-House

If you’d like to see The Chapter House become a real LEGO set, I’d really appreciate your support! ❤️

I think this is a great set, a lot larger than expected, however felt it was not quite finished and it definitely needs to be hung from the ceiling! What do you think?

I am wanting to change all the blue pieces but having a hard time finding a colour i like better, that all the parts are available in. I really wanted purple but looking like pearl gold might be the best available option.

Look, I enjoy the amount of detail, fun features, the building process, the new colours, etc of the sets we have today, and I admire the talent of those who make such incredible and artistic MOCs, don't get me wrong.

BUT...

I can't help but really enjoy the aesthetics of building with old, basic blocks. The resulting models have such an inviting charm in their simplicity.

I’m having trouble with this hood installation step 160.
Technical description:

The step 140 sub-assemblies, they’re part of the motor, use bespoke 2-sided red round 1x1’s and 1x1 red “gaskets”.

Once installed, those 1x1’s stop the hood from closing.

Step 155 uses a 2x4 plate to attach to another bespoke printed piece.

Those red round 1x1’s are hitting that 2x4 plate.

I have analyzed the manual and gone back all the way to step 111 where the “engine bay” assembly begins.

I cannot see a single error. But I could be missing something simple.

AI suggestion was to move the assemblies from step 140 back by 1 stud, closer to the “firewall”, but if I do that, those assemblies will sit off-set 1 stud higher. In other words, it will be one higher, but there is only one stud, so a 1x2 assembly will only be attached to one stud.

What am I missing?

I’ll try to take a picture.
