What did you build over Christmas 2021

[tepapa]

Id love to see some pics?!

There's not much to see . Not been touched in 20+ years.

And no the wife is not impressed that we've effectively lost the biggest draw in our bedroom chest of draws because I use it to store Lego but the Legos been in it longer then we have been together so tough.

The wheels and grey bits look to be in amazing shape, unfaded and discoloured! Any plans to rebuild?

Been busy. Since doing the Porsche I’ve completed 3 more. The mustang, the Delorean, which I did in BTTF part 2 configuration, and a new purchase in the form of the UCS landspeeder, my first Star Wars build.

How the collection looks at present!

I also splashed out on the Millenium falcon the other day, a frankly rediculous amount of money but the wife gave me permission

Your going to have to shorten the legs on that left hand shelving unit, it’s the equivalent of a absolute worldie 10/10 woman with a lazy eye.

It’s huge though isn’t it

Sorry but at that price I’d want it to actually fly and come with a real wokiee

 

[ColinV6]

It is indeed. Still a ludicrous amount of money though!! Wanting stuff is a bad thing!

Looking forward to hearing you’ve bought the titanic kit!

Myself and the boy keep googling it but I’d be strung up if we hit the buy button.

I'm really tempted with that, would buy the lighting kit for it as well. The Mrs might not be so keen on the idea though.

Didn’t know there was a lighting kit, that would look amazing.

 

[Steevo]

Didn’t know there was a lighting kit, that would look amazing.

....and a display case!!

I've got the led kits on one of the loading shovels and one of the lorries, it makes a fair difference to the look of them.

The titanic is stunning! BUT... here’s the wierd bit, I’m just struggling to get excited by it as a Lego set. I’d love to build it. Just don’t think I’d buy it.

I’ve a wee boy who’s obsessed with the titanic, almost wet his pants when he saw the set, but didn’t understand the cost implications to his parents marriage of buying it……… Having looked up the pics of the lighting kit on it, it looks amazing and now I’m a bit obsessed with it too. I think we’d really like building it as he’s always asking about where the engines were etc.

his Mum bought him one of these horrendous wooden pop out models of titanic (with no instructions) for his Christmas. We spent 3 hrs building it in the morning and got a bollocking about still being in our pants as family were arriving

he was adamant it was to be displayed to the visitors!

This is our Christmas morning 2021 build.

not bad for a 7yr old, a dad with a low tolerance for such things and a 3hr build window. It’s about 2ft long bow to stern.

I got this truck as a kid,

always fancied the black one so few years ago set on to build it I had all the pieces ‘in group stock’ (just truck not helicopter) other than blue windscreen which came from this truck,
