  • Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

    I took off the whole day for HOCKEY!! Heading up to Vermont later this morning. I'm watching the weather - we're supposed to get 4-5" of snow here Saturday. I'm debating about putting my car in the T garage across the street so my spot can be plowed. But I'd be shoveling on Sunday anyway....will it be worth the $15? Not sure.

      Fairfield Inn, in Cambridge. Not too far from downtown, and the most reasonably priced place we could find.

          It's right across the street from the Lechmere T stop. I drove by it on Sunday on the way to the BU game. It's not open yet, though. It's a great location because you can actually walk to the Garden.

              They did a really, really good job with this replica; lots of subtle and neat features were included. It will make a really neat piece for when I get back home.
              The Maresk Triple-E? I've been eying that one, but with nearly 140 stickers and the problem that LEGO had had with pealing stickers I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger on another display model that will suffer that issue in a few years.

              • Get a pair of brick separators and they come apart quite easily. Of course brick separators were not widely availible in the 80s and 90s but now come in just about every set over $75. I have about 12 of the orange things.

                  I remember something about people applying clear nail polish over the stickers of models they wanted to display because of that. I've never done a display Lego model, but I'd been thinking about it for a few months now. Damm Lego movie!

                    The address on the Marriott website says 215 Monsignor O'Brien Highway, Cambridge. It said that it was new, but I didn't realize that it was so new that it wasn't open yet. Looking at Google Maps, it looks like it would be about a mile from the arena.

                      That's the one. And yep, there sure are about 130-140 stickers That was the worst part of the kit, but it was really a fun afternoon.

                      FWIW, it took me 5 hours, 45 minutes from box open to completion. I could have taken more time with the container stickers, but they still look good and I wanted to finish in time for dinner.

                          You think bbdl will be riding the subway?

                          Does Boston have any taxis in the form of a big truck? That'd be more up his alley, me thinks.

                            No truck taxis
