Unseen University

The next thing in the book is “There Be …”. It’s a collection of small builds: the Boat House, Modo’s Garden Shed, the River Wall, and the Wall of Names.

Yesterday, I was away from my place, but I took the Unseen University book and an X-Acto knife with me. I ended up cutting out all the pieces for the Boat House, except for the boats. It’s small and simple so I expect it will be done by the weekend.

I started assembling the Boat House then realized I hadn’t taken pictures. Most of the parts are simple boxes. Here is the main body with the roof being glued on.

Here are most of the other parts before assembling. Most are simple boxes with the exception of parts 4 and 7. Part 4 is more of a triangle (the boat ramp) and part 7 is a tad more complex being “L”-shaped.

As you can see, unlike the Library, it is a fast build. The front of the Boat House with the ramp and deck in place.
