Unless it's a knock-off that looks like Nanoblock, I have their small Tokyo Tower model:

It's fun but yeah, tweezers recommended.

Never heard of those before but they're fairly high quality bricks and certainly and interesting twist on regular Lego.

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.

I’ve been picking away at it since Boxing Day. Just bag 5 left to do.

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).

My newest Lego sets arrived. These will complete the botanicals set I've been collecting.

 

[Nacho Libre]

An unexpected expense...

 

[Populuxe]

I built the orchid today, and I’ll build the bamboo tomorrow.

I finished the bamboo set today. I really need a dedicated display case to show them off properly, but for now, here they are on the single bookshelf I have that will accommodate them all.

I built this one right before new year.

Finished this one last week.

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.

Its funny how they use pink frogs on the cherry tree version as flower buds.

Why do I suddenly find myself thinking of the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"?

I think there's a reference I'm missing.

Built Concorde over the weekend.

He only has around half of the 10,000 supporters he needs for Lego to make this a retail product. If he can find the remainder in six months they'll release it to the public.

It’s a shame too, because Lego could have a new line of synths and musical equipment, I’m thinking 808, MIDI PC 3000 etc.

Music production and musical history fans would love them.

Thanks, me too.

Lego have made some good Creator 3 in 1 polybags (sorry, they're now called "recruitment bags" shudder) in the past but this isn't one of them, in my opinion, it just isn't very monster trucky, more like a monster coupe/roadster.



Got these two at the same time, I love the mech! My son's got a couple of City Space ships, the mining mech and the space bike thing so it'll go well with them. The jetski is just to give him something that could easily be turned into a plane, really, the first thing he did when I gave him the assembled Jungle Explorer helicopter was take two of the rotor blades off and attach them underneath the fan boat to make a plane, so... Yeah.

I've got something a little more special on its way to me, the first big set (albeit incomplete) I've bought in some time. For me, I mean. Looking forward to finding out just how incomplete it is.

Wow, amazing artwork. How long did it take for you to build that?

 

[Jump_Ace]

I finally bricklink'd the Darth Maul set as I don't want to pay $3k for basically the box in awful condition. It's the only UCS set I'm missing (I've upgraded to applicable new UCS versions to save space: Falcon, Imperial Shuttle, etc) and my order has already missed 3 parts >_< But, I'm about 1/3 done and I'll continue it when the missing parts arrive:

And me.

I’m not especially quick, so about two to two and a half hours, each.
