So I was making good progress on the Tower Plaza (see previous posts) and then wham! Ran out of parts.  Not all the parts, just a couple critical plates necessary to continue with the low rise masonry structure. I did what any AFOL would do in this situation – went to Bricklink and ordered the parts I needed. Unfortunately the only place I found the correct parts – 12 4×8 Dark Orange plates – was at a great little Bricklink store in Austria. Anyway, to make a long story a little less long, the seller shipped almost 3 weeks ago and the Austrian Post shows they made it across the ocean and handed them off to the USPS. As best I can figure either someone in US Customs or at the USPS really needed 12 4×8 Dark Orange plates more than me or they are lost. My money is on lost.

So what is a guy to do? Fortunately I had ideas and designs for more than one Modular MOC, so I ordered more parts and started on a second while I waited. Stay tuned for info and details on the Small Church MOC.

Meanwhile I wait patiently for the Postman.
