this was my first abstract Lego build. I really enjoyed it other than my 50 year old eyes had trouble discerning between some colored pieces in the manual. Very cool though I'd do it again and am getting the Milky Way next.
I really appreciated all the thought that went into making this set like ‘painting’ on new layers of paint. The ‘podcast’ was fun to watch while I built the set and really made me appreciate both the painting and the designing process. I especially enjoyed having to ‘add’ the extra at the top just like Van Gogh. This was a very calming build to do, and I’m looking forward to displaying it.
The foundations of this build are so so so so lacking that it is just sad. The foundation that is expected to hold all of the many layers of sunflowers and such on top is barely holding on with single point brick snapping. Its laughable and sad all at the same time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was my first artwork type build, and it was a lot more fun than I anticipated it would be. The build was fun and engaging, and the finished product is so cool!
