Kachow!

Might have to get this from the logo store

Seems to be widely available inc Argos and John Lewis so probably will have some offer on it at a future date.
Replacement light set from Temu has arrived and the LEDs which had too short leads seem rightvin this one.
Surplus of lights will no doubt find a use.

Temu lights fitted to the phone box etc
They are Brixspark or at least its their instructions which are used. Skipped on the lights around the base. i also varied the wiring running the cable from the flower pot and a linking connection cable under the tiles far more so than the instructions suggest. Also the cable from street name LED I took to the main connection sockets on the rear of the phone box rather than the secondary one behind the lamppost.

So I finished the Williams. It was a complete rebuild using the instructions from Re-Brickable, essentially everything was modified and the end result looks really good. The proportions are so much better than the original Lego model.

The aftermarket stickers are the icing on the cake. They were a challenge to fit though because they were designed for the original Lego model with different dimensions. In particular the Camel writing on the logos on the front no longer fitted, so I've got British GP style sponsorship on the nose and normal sponsorship on the engine cover! A compromise I can live with.

Just a pity the blue is too light in shade, the comparison photo on redbrickable really shows it up

Argos, where the store is in a Sainsburys store, are selling off some of the Lego. Upto a 1/3 off full price.
