I didn't do this one on my own, but:



I and two of my kids helped James May build this (along with 1,000 other volunteers) at Denbies vineyard (near Box Hill)

That's going to be hard to beat. Boo, spoil sport.

i used to have a small suitcase full of it when i was a kid, some inherited from older relatives, even had the revolutionary electric motor and train tracks

long before the days when they started adding loads of special shapes

From the other thread, my Battle of Hoth:















And a few of my other sets - the Falcon is based on LEGO's own 10179 set, but I totally redid all the external details, built a different engine with LED lighting, extended and added lighting to the cockpit etc.





These are custom builds, I sourced all the parts and built them, but they're not my own design.

Pretty cool stuff Norvern

Me and my son built this at Christmas, it's a collection of official sets with all the landscape done by us.



And just for scale, as nobody ever realises how big the Falcon is until they see it in person! This was before I modified it.

Can you adopt me please. I'm fully house trained. I would say lucky son but I'm not sure how much of that he'd be allowed to play with

Did you mean building lego or building with lego? Ran out of bricks!

Garry H

Thread of the week!

Excellent stuff NorvernRob, well worth the wait!

That falcon is just too big to play with .. you cant pick that up, run up the stairs making a "whraaaahowgh" noise, perform a hammer head at the top of the stairs and fly back down

Mmmmm Lego porn.

I spent most of Christmas building a Lego Indiana Jones Temple Escape for my son, complete with rolling stone ball, gold idol booby trap, spears shooting from walls, whip swing and closing door booby trap.



Of course it was smashed to bits soon after and has not been played with since. But I'm fine about it, honest

Thanks MF. If anyone wants to buy a zillion pieces of temple escape I'm open to offers.

Absolutely, that's why the 5 year old gets the little one

I spent at least 7 hours on xmas day building a lego ninjago temple that has subsequently been played with all of 0 minutes

A friend has the Caterham 7 kit and I thought it would be just that, a kit but after watching the 10 minute assembly video on Youtube I realise it more of a model.

I could quite easily clear the bank account in the Cardiff Lego store.

Here we go:

Here's a ship I built using 'old Lego', it was about 3 feet long:



Some detail:



Smooching staff:











British staffed obviously, one working and the other having a cuppa:

...and a port 'Tractor', with suspension:





Trailer to go with it:

However, I have moved on from the old stuff unless I am playing with the girls. I never do kits. Don't see the point as once they're built, the challenge is over and there might be a part of you that wants to keep it which means having to buy more Lego.

This was my first Technics model. A 9v Mad Max bike with gearbox and diff.



I would really like to move on to pneumatics but it's expensive stuff.

Fantastic stuff there Pinno. The Stranraer influence for all to see!

One day, whne I've learned how to read, I shall post pictyures of what me and the girl child built. Been buying tons (tonnes?) of Lego off of that Gumtree.

Matthewfalle

Yup - agree completely. Top work that man.

Lego masters about to start on C4 peeps.
