I really enjoyed scrolling through and seeing all of the updates you did this year. You have yourself an awesome set-up here and some really hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship went into this layout. Keep up the good work, and I cannot wait to see more!

I find it kind of fascinating to see the progression of your "building" - the verb, not the noun. Its disheartening to hear so many new people to LEGO post things about how they are not "as talented as some builders", or how they "don't have the skills of some Lego-ers", and therefore they conclude that they cannot do what others do.

Yet, they forget that building, whether in terms of LEGO or any other pursuit, is an active and evolutionary process. Everything requires time, patience, and more importantly, failure. The psychologist Leon Fetzinger posited that perhaps, there is no such thing as "genius", and that it is nothing more than a term used by those who lack the discipline, drive, or whatever you what to refer to it as, to follow through with a process or challenge that at first seems daunting. We tend to forget that every amazing builder has gone through a similar trajectory of trial and error before they honed in on their own potential and were then able to convey that to others with a build that was, to them, successful.

I don't believe too many people have just picked up some Lego and were able to instantly create something IDEAS worthy, so to speak. Not unless they were able to bring that experience of trial and error from another place which translated well into this. Most of us have been there, and are there now - in the midst of trying out things, many of which are not notable, to find that place where it begins to gel.

So thank you, for sharing your own journey, where it is very clear to see that progression - of a tinkerer blossoming into a builder to contend with. Your city looks beautiful and is a direct reflection of how far you've come along. It really is inspiring to see those first kind of awkward photos alongside the most recent, which are anything but awkward.

I find your roofs, something I am struggling with now, to be particularly inspiring. Lovely angles...
