Greetings fellow minifigs! This is the first session of Building Blocks, where we at FortLUG would like to showcase some of our building techniques and give step-by-step instructions on how to build useful things that you might be able to incorporate into your own LEGO layout. We’d like to make this a new recurring series, so check back periodically.
In this session, we’ll be building a free-standing storage silo. This 155-piece structure will require the bricks listed below. Keep in mind that this is just one way to do a storage silo, so feel free to experiment, expand, extrapolate, and any other ext-ing you need to make it your own. FortLUG loves encouraging the creative spirit in all, so happy building!
