My First 'Set'

I mentioned in a previous post the fact that I wished to receive one of my own designs for my 21st birthday present. Given the limited number of options in pick-a-brick, I had to make sure I designed the building to fit with which bricks I could buy. I redesigned my haunted mansion, so that it was a little bit more complete and looked ok. It wasn't perfect, and I had to cut down on some of the bricks to make it with in the budget (:S), which did result in some challenges in the actual construction.

This is the set as a 3D model:

And here is the completed model, as built. The photos are a little dodgy.
