Hi everyone. The past few months I played 0 Hearthstone. Let's say that after 4 years I was growing tired, then DH came out, I started enjoy the game less and less. Still purchased the last 2 expansions, but the last one I didn't play AT ALL. I don't earn the monthly card back since 3 months. I just stopped enjoying the game and becoming more and more bored (I think it's normal, considering it represented my daily routine in the past 4 years).
I recently re-discovered an old passion of my childhood: LEGO ! Started with some LEGO Ideas set, continued with the Colosseum, the I did the big step: I started my own MOC (My own creation). Particularly, one I was pretty fond of: Scrooge McDuck's Money bin.
For those who don't know, Scrooge McDuck is Donald Duck's stingy uncle, richest duck in the world, who lives in a giant cube (the money bin) containing 3 cubic acres of coins. DuckTales and comics with Scrooge McDuck represent a huge part of my childhood, and I had plenty of fun recreating them LEGO version.
Here are some photos, but first let me say one more thing: if you like what you see, please support (aka, VOTE, completely free) my project on LEGO Ideas. If it reaches 10 thousand votes, LEGO will consider it to release it as an official set. It would mean the world to me. Link at the end of the post
Enough talking, let's go with the tour.

Canopy bed made of 100 dollar bills
Family pic by comic writer/genious Don Rosa and motivational quote in front of his bed xD
The salon, a.k.a. 'THE WORRY ROOM' (carpet is threadbare because he keeps walking in circle)
Another great quote by author Don Rosa.
Bath-tub filled with coins and shower curtain made of dollars
Scrooge's office. My masterpiece, it has it all: number 1 dime, earth globe, multiple phones, profits's graphic skyrocketing, pyramid of coins for Donald to polish them, but most of all...
... a functioning trapdoor! It opens when you push forward and closes when you push back!
The beloved number 1 dime
Donald polishing coins
Graphic of profits
To get to the back we'll ask the help of a giant LEGO Darth Vader
DAMN RIGHT! It's a piggy bank! The back of the roof has a slot to insert coins. So you can fill the money bin with real coins. And admire it full through the big transparent panels.
