Little lad had a result last week.
While helping mum take some stuff to the Red Cross charity shop he spotted a Lego Saturn V set in there for £20.
He knew that they were about £120-130 new so got mum to buy it for him.
And to my astonishment it's all there too, thick end of 2000 bits I think he said.
Stands over a metre tall.
Not technics or fancy but he's well chuffed, with his "bargain"

What did you build over Christmas 2022
Well it wouldn’t be Christmas without the “What did you build” thread now would it! So here’s a fresh one for 2022 👍🏼. Going to be pretty much a star wars theme this year as the Mrs said I’ve no room left for any more technic ☹️😂. So this year’s offering (up to now😉🤫) Little fella couldn’t...

Been building this in my spare time. Apart from the wheels and tyres which are new, it’s built from 1970/80’s technic Lego, so all old school, rack and pinions, cogs and ratchets.
I was quite pleased with it. It’s got a three speed gearbox, 2 cylinder engine, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel or 2 wheel or crab steer. The boom winds up with rack and pinion mechanism and extends and has a tilt.

Did you have a plan or design it yourself?

Did it myself just from looking at the farm jcb telehandler. I used to build loads of Lego technic as a kid in the 1980’s, and just got it out of the loft at Xmas to have a go at something. Literally only the wheels and tyres are modern Lego.

I used to make a lot of models myself when younger, copied all the farms kit, had a working Dowdeswell swing over front press, had to break a lego rule and cut an axle to length to get the pivot to work ok.

Looks good but why so much more than the new defender? Think I got that for under £100 in sale
