That last post was odd, I admit. I like it and I'm not going to apologize for it, but if you want more photos from stages 22 and 23, they're in the Google Photos album. I didn't post them, because (as you have probably already guessed) they are functionally identical to 2.3.15 and 2.3.16, but they do exist if you really want to follow along with every step.

This stage, though, we're back to new stuff. Here's the mise-en-place for 2.4.24.
Two small-piece plates, one of which is especially full, and a slightly-smaller-than-average set of larger pieces.
(Do people have a preference between from-above mise-en-place shots like this one, which is more traditional for knolling; or head-on shots like in some previous posts, which is I think less strictly accurate to call it knolling but maybe helps you see the details of pieces better? I've been picking randomly each time, but if people have a preference and it's consistent across y'all, I can try and stick with one.)

I started by building some Second Class cabins.
Red tile floors, beds, and side tables have been added to either side of the grand staircase.
Doors have been added between the bedrooms and the sitting rooms, and the staircase now has handrails.

Then I added what I'm calling the Chessboard Lobby, for obvious reasons. These floor tiles were quite satisfying to add.
The next level has been added. Apart from some studs for furniture attachment, each side of the grand staircase is covered in a chessboard pattern of 1x1 tan and brown squares.
Each side of the grand staircase now has two white 1x1 quarter-circle tiles and a white 1x1 rounded stud.
I'm choosing to interpret those as two chairs on either side of a small table; let me know if you disagree.

Anyway, that's it for this stage! Seems like not a lot, but the tiled floors obviously involved many tiny pieces, so I'm not too surprised that this is all we get. Thanks as always for reading!

Discussion prompt: What's your favorite tiling of the plane? Do you have a favorite tiling of the plane? Probably most people don't, but I do. It's penrose tiling, which I suppose is not a specific tiling but rather a class of tiling. I specifically love this fact: "The Penrose tilings, being non-periodic, have no translational symmetry – the pattern cannot be shifted to match itself over the entire plane. However, any bounded region, no matter how large, will be repeated an infinite number of times within the tiling. Therefore, no finite patch can uniquely determine a full Penrose tiling, nor even determine which position within the tiling is being shown." (from Wikipedia)

(Was this a proper discussion prompt, or just an excuse for me to be excited about penrose tilings? Maybe it was both. [galaxy brain gif])
