Frustrating time with the Bricklink antique cabinet. The shelves are a pair of large plates only supported at the sides and rear. Only needs a slight front movement for the centre "light" fitted across the joint underneath to fall off. Simple solution would be leave those off but I have lit them. An awaiting Brickowl basket finally ordered with the addition of 2 x 12 and 1 x 2 plates to strengthen the front each shelf.
Instead put together the GWP Tribute to Da Vinci. Only has one sticker for the mirror
Comes free from Lego with £135+ purchases or alternatively as I did can found on eBay, Facebook etc at varying prices. I paid less than half some are asking for it

Discovered the Lego Builder app has a lost brick feature for a set. Comes up with all the parts and then show the conpleted set with the selected part shown where it/they fit
Probably be better called Find where a brick fits.

Bricklink antique set completed. I rearranged some of the ornaments to improve visibility IMO. Strengthened the front underside of the two upper shelves with a 1 x 12 plate plus 1 x 2 plates to either side for visual effect. Also the reverse curve side roofs were strengened on the underside with a 1 x 4 plate to either side.
Lights added with round 2 x 2 plates added under the supplied yellow "lights" to accommodate LEDs.
Fits inside a case designed for the London phone box.
