He did it all on his own

First 1 finished.

Is lego nowadays a waste of money? My son builds it. Follows instructions then plays with toy. It's never dismantled.

When we were kids we had a bucket of random lego we built stuff out of using our imagination.

He does sometimes modify the models by adding more guns and stuff.

As long as they get enjoyment from it it’s not a wast of money, doesn’t matter how they use it.

Mine won't progress to technic. It's a good skill that I want to encourage him to continue.

Hope he turns into a Phill P one day and he can sort out what I break!

Need them to take out Fortnite technic! He just wants to go about shooting people at the moment.

Probably more money in gaming than fixing stuff to be fair

Bens getting fairly good at cobbling together some of my old models into little cars and such, biggest issue is he keeps borrowing bits from the good models.

Lego Ninjago mad here

 

[kmo]

Well the blocks are here and the footings are in.
Trouble is the architects drawings are .

 

[mixed breed]

There was something missing from this year's present
So we built a tow hitch

And strenched the drawbar on a retired trailer.

And now we have the ultimate child sheep feeding outfit.

This is the extent of my lego these days can’t justify adding to my technic collection while my boy is so young View attachment 929592

4 years old seems turning point youngest is 4 and a half and loves it now so it’s all back out. Technics not as fun as I remember I’ve got mostly brick stuff now and trains

I’ve bulked it up with job lots off local selling groups got 12kg before Xmas for 90 Jesus there’s some ace stuff in there you have to find rare pieces google part number and brick link will tell you what sets it’s in this little fella was amongs it all

there must have been hundreds and hundreds worth in there and mostly complete sets when you sort through it

I've been trying a few plastic model kits started with the 2680 that was pretty easy that I brush painted then the Yanmar than has much more detail on it, and that I did some airbrushing on- still leaning that but its coming along . I'm doing a Hitachi excavator now, and I have a few more to do----- A Cat D8 , Toyota Hilux then a Cat D9 its pretty enjoyable

Just flip the front weights on the 2680 the correct way up please, lovely model that.

I built a “mud kitchen” for my niece during December, gave her it today and she and my sister were chuffed to bits with it. That’ll do.

Show me where to buy all this cheap second hand lego, I used to play with the stuff for hours as a kid. Need to stock up on some of it. The kids are at the stage that they won't eat it.

Local Facebook groups and eBay pickup only lots which are close, got sh!t loads from these sources one lot of Facebook group came with all instructions too so easy to build all sets within !! I search ‘Lego kg’ on eBay distance nearest

Got that before Xmas too was real bargain, weirdly all technic removed but there was a massive crane in my other pics in it £10 on bricklink for all missing technic bits and there were some great sets in that loads of wagons and cars
They all came out of it plus loads more random Lego

 

[Phil P]

Also built a snowman this morning, in case you can’t tell the little fella wants to be a pirate when he grows up

 

[Phil P]

It’s landed all 438 pages of building fun

Lots of bits to go at.
