Qualifications for getting hired?

Hey!

Just a super quick question - I have a connection (through family) at a cafe near me, and I’m currently hunting for a casual/part-time job. Always loved coffee + some casual barista stuff at home, and would love the chance to do it for work, and apparently this place is looking for a ‘reliable’ barista.

Aside from asking the connection directly, which I’ll likely do regardless, can anyone here speak to what sort of qualifications are necessary to put me in a good spot? I’ve got some distant past experience in hospitality with a very likely expired RSA, but otherwise, I imagine a barista course/certification would be helpful? In my city (Melbourne, AUS) there seems to be a bunch of day courses, but there are many varying levels, from a beginner course around $100, a latte art course for $120 by itself, all the way up to a ‘ready to work’ level for $1000+, which is obviously out of my range for a casual job but seems excessive regardless!

Any advice from those in the industry would be much appreciated 🙏

How to create digital instructions after building?

Hi peeps,

I have a quick question regarding the first MOC I’ve built.

I created it based on a reference image of another set, but basically just figured things out along the way, trying something and then taking it down etc.

I finished something I’m pretty satisfied with, but didn’t document the process. Just wondering how I can build a digital model + instructions for it if it’s already built? Would I have to literally disassemble it in reverse?

For reference, I want the instructions so that I can actually disassemble it and rebuild it later, and also to share if anyone else wants it.

I’ve included a photo for reference - it’s a fairly straightforward building but does have a slightly trickier roof.

Thanks!

Best way to spend money late game? Dream homes?

Hey peeps,

I’ve just returned after a rather large hiatus after playing on and off since 2019-2020 or so.

I’ve got most of the obtainable vehicles, at least the ones I want, as well as a healthy collection of limiteds that I love. I’m not really interested in grinding concepts to upgrade on that end of things.

That being said, what is there really to spend money on? I’ve been planning to get a dream home - potentially the crater city penthouse, still undecided. Would love people’s thoughts on dream homes!

Also, am I missing any other use of money late game? I don’t expect it’ll be long before the 2 week phase is over 😂 but I know I’ll play again sometime in the future anyways too, so I don’t want to waste.

Winter Wave 2027 Leaks

Hey all - call me super eager, but wondering when we can expect at least set names for the Jan 2027 wave?

I just want to know if they’re going to continue the hogwarts caste line!

If memory serves, we got name leaks about the current Summer wave around Feb, so roughly 4 months prior - does this mean I’m going to have to wait until September!!!

Appreciation for the beautiful new East Wing!

Sorry about the low light! Just spent a solid 7 hours straight building the new East Wing, and couldn’t wait until morning to share :)

I feel like the viaduct bridge does so much! Also included is a little clock tower MOC on the right - it’s my first ever MOC but I think it fits well for now!

I’m pretty limited in depth so the hospital wing is sort of horizontal across the background 😂

Next step - time to rebuild my boathouse + greenhouse and add it back in!

If anyone has suggestions of how to set up some custom lighting, I’d love any ideas!

I recently started getting into the idea of starting to make some MOCs for the current Castle line - it’s likely going to be a little while until I get my hands on the east wing on sale, so I wanted something to entertain me in the meantime.

I stumbled upon this really cool MOC when looking for inspiration - it uses only parts included in the Flying Lesson set, and looks so great with the current castle line. IMO adds more character than the default version of the set, and looks great next to the Owlery.

Anyways, thought I’d share for anyone else here who’s looking for a way to mix things up!

Side note - if anyone has any tips for how to get started making MOCs, would love to hear your tips!
