I forgot about this set!

Took long enough but the first pic leaked. Shows the minifigure

 

 

He looks great, and that mini painting is adorable. Very excited to see how this set turns out.

Is that the same paint brush piece as ever? It somehow... looks different

The bristles are blue, it is new in that colour

Wow. The set looks so good. Such a departure from anything else too. I love it.

Lego is really pressing my buttons & raiding my bank account this year.

Oh my gosh….this masterpiece is gorgeous! I LOVE it!

This is basically a Doctor Who set and I love it.

So it looks like there’s a little black strut that can be attached to mount the Minifigure and his easel to the painting if you’re hanging it on the wall. So you can keep the Minifigure with the rest of the set no matter which way you choose to display it - very clever!

I’ll be modding that ridiculously clunky and long sticky out strut and place Vincent more flush within his own painting

Just got this and built it for my birthday and it’s fantastic! Really fun build and a great look to the final product. 
 

I’m planning on using the wall mounting option for it. Can anyone who’s done that with this or other art sets give me some recommendations on what type of hardware works best with the mounting piece on the back. Specifically what the ideal nail/screw head diameter is.
