of Mies Van Der Rohe&#8217;s Farnsworth House but stock of it is hard to come by in Australia.\u00a0 Fortunately, I cam across it during Myer&#8217;s 20% off sale and I also had a voucher from work which meant that I could pick up this set for twenty bucks.\u00a0 Putting it together was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The finished product looks terrific and I like how the interior closely matches the real deal.\u00a0 Having said that, like a lot of the Architecture series, the rest of the build is actually rather repetetive.\u00a0 One of the instructions in this set is basically &#8216;apply fifty eight 1&#215;1 flat tiles onto the floor.&#8217;\u00a0 Yay.\u00a0 It&#8217;s hard as hell trying to get the tiles to align with one another too.<\/p>\n<p>I still think <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/?p=6903\">The White House<\/a> is my favourite building in this range but this would be a close second.\u00a0 The actual Farnsworth House has such a cool iconic design and its pretty impressive how close Lego gets to replicating it with the few pieces that they use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve
