Did you give it up Agatheron??

I agree. I enjoyed watching this in nov.-dec., and then, it just stopped. Hope to see the end result.

I was really enjoying the progress but with Agatheron giving up I had no choice but to buy the instructions and the parts

I am waiting for the last few parts and will upload pictures picking up where Agatheron left off.

Disclosure: I work full time and have a small child so expect slow progress!

That is great news. Thank you for picking up where Agatheron has left. I am wainting anciously, but patiantly.

Thanks bluedragon. Can't wait to hear your progress. Can you provide details on your adventure in sourcing the parts? Thinking of doing it myself and wondering what the cost and effort would be.

This baby wasn't cheap ! I got all the parts from Bricklink and spent over US$700. I spent a long time on this to keep shipping costs down by identifying stores with high numbers of parts. In some cases it paid off to split into multiple orders and pay additional shipping to get cheaper parts though. I left out things like the basket ball, hats, the tree at the front, etc. and had to make some replacements when certain parts were not available in the right colour. Despite my best efforts, I still needed over 20 orders and generally placed an order every couple of days. Of course you could do it in one go but Lego is only one of the things I have to keep my nights busy !

I will need a few weeks to get to where Agatheron left so bear with me...
