So, despite spending many hours in the workshop pulling tractors to bits and fabricating things, the big kid in me still loves a dam good Lego build ?. Fortunately this Christmas the Mrs treated me to this.

It was a very interesting and detailed build, not sure who thinks these kits up.

Well after around 15 hours, 4057 pieces of Lego and a bottle of captain Morgan’s ? the project was completed. Also squeezed a pirate ship in with the little fella ?

So, did you build anything interesting over Christmas?
Doesn’t need to be Lego just a bit of fun for a Sunday evening ?

lego technics

Can I ask a question or two on the subject , after admitting to an absolute lack of any kind of knowledge/ experience . I quite fancy a go at building an item , do the ones with movable parts actually come with the actuating gear - motor , zapper to activate , or is that wishful thinking , and...

Rc cars was another one of my favourite pass times, use to love the smell of nitro ?. Sold them off when I got into the rc heli’s, I was quite surprised what they sold for! Apparently I had some “classics”, that just made me feel old though?

Congratulations on the new arrival, don’t panic it’s not long before you can justify toys for the kids???

I aways build LEGO from my imagination, nephew and niece couldn't understand that as no pictures to go on.

I use to have loads of home designed models when I was younger, unfortunately we had a house fire many years ago and I lost 98% of my Lego collection ? (I had a lot).
I’ll dig out the ones I still have tomorrow if I get chance.

I think it depends on age, my son only built from instructions, but recently has started dismantling them and mixing them, making hybrids!

That’s a pretty good point, In my youth I had plenty of time to just sit and build and try putting different things together. Now I have to wait for my youngest to go to bed just to get 5 minutes piece!
It’s more a case of trying to get a kit together while I can, I did manage get a couple of hours on the excavator last night ?.
