I wonder if I could pick the collective mind of the GTP hive. I'm on the hunt for a piece which is shaped similar to 32291; however, instead of the cross stud hole being on the perpendicular plane, it needs to be on the same plane. It can be either a cross stud or round stud, I don't mind, but I need the layout set up so that the single hole is in between the two.

Unfortunately no such part exists in LEGO. I'm not even sure whether CaDA does a piece like that, but there might be a chance they do.

Given that my wife is still halfway through her Christmas 2023 Speed Champions, and that we don't really do Enforced Love Day, I'm amazed that I bought this and that she's finished it...

This is a slow build but two more bags completed in the G-Wagon. 6/20 done.

I spent a long weekend at my Mum's so I built my Lego Ford GT that my mates got me for my 50th last month. Took about 11 hours and 1100 swear words to build, but it was a lot of fun - even though my fingers are now very sore.

There were a few bits that were quite problematic, and some of the smaller connectors can be very difficult - and I also found an error in the instruction manual 😅

Kinda wish I hadn't forgotten about this, but I guess I wouldn't have gotten it for £12.45 anyway so never mind I suppose. I've decided I'll stick to my original plan of ticking off the list of Creator sets I want - I was down to about 19 but obviously a lot of the remaining ones are expensive and then I added a few of the modular buildings (not the big modulars, the ones where you can rearrange the pieces to make different houses and stuff) - before completing lots of incomplete sets and others I've pieced out, etc. and then maybe I'll look at the trains some more.

I have to admit the more recent train sets are really appealing though and the more I look at how much stuff costs and the size of the trains, the money they're asking is less and less shocking. Not good.

I'm still enjoying building this kit too, I was really impressed with the rear wing lifter mechanism, just something I wouldn't have thought of. I've just finished the roof and rear diffuser, so still got about a third left to go.
