I enjoyed when you snapped connectors. I need to use your solution of white glue more than super. Great calm during filming though

I seem to recall the story of him having to turn the camera off so he could curse. Missing knife blades indeed. Like I mentioned in the comments, I found a wooden mallet to be helpful to get the walls together, and that the rounded blades do not cut the connectors as easily. I snapped more than a few of those trying to cut out my buildings. ^_^ So far I've found on my Firebucket MBBM buildings that having some files or sandpaper on hand to flatten those pesky connectors made the buildings go together nicer. If I had more shanty towns to put together, I'd probably file the corners a bit before hammering together. I think they would splay less for me.

Thanks for the comments on my composure. I sound like I should be talking about "puffy clouds and happy little trees". IIRC it was late and I was really tired when I filmed that. The building fought me every step of the way, so I'm happy that it all came through as calm and professional. Maybe I should do a whole Bob Ross "happy trees" persona when putting together terrain..... What do you think?

It would work if I had more time to make animated characters appear when you do

You need an afro wig for this. Definitely! ^_^

I don't know that I have enough lighting to deal with the shadows that the afro would create.
