Took me the exact length of the first two movies to build the Back to the Future set. Went with the Part 2 version. Made sense considering the included Minifigures anyways.

31160 on the left, Airfix Easy Build Bf 109 on the right. The Lego was £13, very clear instructions but a longer build with more pieces, the Airfix was £15 and went together much more easily because it was literally a handful of pieces but the instructions were not as good - it's basically a polybag build with bigger pieces. It's hard to tell from the photo but the fuselage and wingspan is about one stud bigger on the Airfix model.

I do like the Airfix model because it's a more accurate representation of a real thing but I prefer the Lego model, even if this particular one is somewhat lacking in character, but it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be considering the fuselage is 3 studs wide and it was only £13. It's way better and cheaper than the £18 31126 Supersonic Jet though.
 
Funnily enough, after just finishing off an Enzo, this is the one I'm going to start next (it was too late last night to de-bag and sort).
 
I built this one right before new year.

I'm going to be busy the next little while as I just got the 1:5 Ducati, and pre-ordered all the F1 sets. I also just ordered the brand new CaDA Sauber F1 car. The thing looks amazing. Over 2500 pieces, and supposedly all printed and no stickers.
 
I built me Lego Bonsai Tree today - it's a really beautiful and original model. I took it into my work because there's a nice big desk area where I could build it comfortably, and it took about 2 hours.

I also got the McLaren F1 for my birthday from my family, and my mates gave me the Lego Technic Ford GT, which looks fantastic. I will probably build those two at home so I don't have to carry them home assembled.
