Converting the Emerald Night to 9v

December 3, 2009 – 4:22 pm

Later this afternoon I will set up the WITC display at the Raleigh LEGO Store.  I ended up not going down the route of modifying my church to fit the display.  When I sat down and looked at it, there just isn’t a good place to break the church in half.  I have stained glass [...]
