In their 'Buy' section, you can purhase, quite literally, a ton of Lego!!!

I didn't know that existed. I may have to see if I can find it. Weirdly Jame's other shows (aside from Man Lab) were all excellent. I enjoyed Jezza in Germany, because it's kinda fun when he makes fun of us, but otherwise the other two just didn't measure up in terms of side-projects.

It was a good TV series, the most humorous episode was the Chelsea Flower Show

Had an unused for 2 years at least gas fire removed and its place is now taken by an offset display case allowing for a larger item alongside

Need to sort out a 5v supply for the lights to the antique cabinet, phone box, London and Baker Street. The cabinets LED strips at the top running off a 12v supply.

I had a day out at the LEGO exhibition in Skærbeck, Denmark yesterday. There were LEGO ambassadors from all over the world.

Just so much too look at. 😁

Found my Rebrickable modified Creator Space Shuttle fits into the now surplus Baker Street book nook case.

Should be easy enough, there's only 360 of them.
Less than 10% of those printed on yellow plastic.

Finished. Unfortunately 2 pieces were missing

I didn't realise until I saw an Airfix Easybuilt kit in Lidl last week, that the easybuild kits have 'lego like' parts that fit together in the same way.

Just finished the kit that every Lego fan on here should have. Note - it's bigger than you think. A little bit fiddly - I found the lego builder app helped a lot. Being able to rotate some of the pictures, is very very useful. I also reduced from the 72 chain links in the build to around 69 to stop the chain from slipping. A lot of people have noted that the chain is quite loose in the prescribed build.

NB - I realised after taking the pictures that the right brake is on backwards. Someone has been playing with it!!
