Its impressive isn’t it! One of my favourites in my collection along with the matching space shuttle and the lunar lander

 

[Chae1]

Guardian ship complete. By 9 year old son, not me.!

Think I'm going to have to go out and buy myself some technic! Was a big heavy present that I hoped was Lego. Turned out it was a George foreman grill!

Imagine you bought your wife something like that for Christmas

Another bit of progress, slowly but surely. Book 1 finished

Sure thing. Gonna have to get another shelf up for when the ecto 1 is finished. The bucket wheel excavator is massive!

Build progress update -

Managed to get the landrover boxes off yesterday and it’s probably more impressive than a real one (probably more reliable too )

quite impressed with the suspension setup, may have to make it a project to motorise it in the future

The boy built his star was tank on his own.

And couldn’t go anywhere last night (kids) and got bored so made a start to n the Zetros which seems to be flying together!

I'm getting Lego envy from @Phil P and @ColinV6

 

[ColinV6]

The rear bumper assembly and lights on the Ecto-1 is super neat. An absolute joy to put together this one. End of bag 3 so far and it’s turning into one of my favourite builds. There’s so much detail being a non technic set but there’s also a ton of gadgets which involve technic mechanisms. Highly recommend this one.

Got the chassis all finished off and tested.

In present form it can climb over a lying down 5yr old boy, including head, a lying down 7 yr old boy, not including head, but can’t climb a lying down 38yr old wife unless both the 5yr old and 7 yr old are employed in sequence as ramps. And don’t go near wife’s hair……….………………

next step is finish off body and splice front and rear servo leads together to get front and rear steering working 4ws on one stick.

"Last of the V8s, with super charger"

 

[Sheeps]

That's the lego finished for me for another year, or less the child needs a hand with his. It's very easy controled with the app an enjoyable build.

Looks a beast, have you tried it to see how much it can push?

If your referring to the canvas on the wall, well spotted

I'd love to admit to being really sharp and noticing that.....

But assumed (probably wrongly) that was a mad max interceptor Lego model ? (7th pic down)

Ah lol! I’ll let you off.

The black car is actually Dom’s Dodge Charger from The fast and the furious. It famously had so much torque that it wheelied so Lego built a stand in to display it that way.

Got the landrover for my birthday in November really impressed with it, i do get you issues with box it’s like half the whole design is on that? Goes together really nicely though. Look on YouTube there’s some really nice fully remote control ones people have made
