Build Journal: Handmaidens

Last week I reviewed a bunch of Make-It Bricks sets.  DarkSyntax made some mock-ups on Facebook of frames made from the parts in the Landmark sets.  I figured I'd give it a shot too.  This is what I came up with.  The name was inspired by a comment from Shades Corvid.

I started with the London Bridge and the Golden Gate sets.  This gave me plenty of Headlight Bricks, Tile Clips, and Taps to play with.  I added in the Windows & Doors polybag for Bar Plates, 1x2 Plates, and 2x3 Plates.  Reaching back into the Golden Gate set, I took the 1x4 Mod. Plate w/2 studs, the 1x2 Tiles, the 1x1 Plates, and the Cheese Slopes.  This gave me a body, an arm, and a leg.

Up until this point I had been using a few elements from the M-IB City Patrol set to fill things out.  I removed them and started looking at other elements in the Landmark sets to use.  Looking at the Sydney Opera House set, I grabbed the Wing End Bricks for the cockpit and 1x2 Plates for the legs.  I used 1x1 Bricks, 1x2 Jumpers, and 1x2 Plates from the Empire State Building set.  I also grabbed another London Bridge and Golden Gate set to finish out the legs and arms.  So that's seven sets at $1.00 each to make one Frame.  You also have plenty of leftover parts.

I went a little crazy and made three, with Stations.
