so my daughter has an extensive collection of lego, so she  has pretty all much of the minecraft stuff and  there is a picture on the forum of all of it built at different levels so the normal world is top on top of the nether...but i cant find it, maybe BT can help out as we had a long chat about it.

Anyhow here are the ones taken from my mrs's icloud as all the rest are on a hard drive back in blightly, excuse the quality

so the pics we cant find atm, she has also got Ecto 1 from ghostbusters, a superstar destroyer, not built as wont fit on the shelves (found a pic), as i said pretty much all the minecraft. paddy has a lot of city stuff from when he was young and i still have an space one, pic at the bottim

please excuse she is painting her wall


the deathstar really stands out with the blue lights

 unfortunately unless i use full size images, these  thumb nails will have to do...as my album is private......until i figure out how to make only these pics public

My son is currently trying to persuade us to sell off his old lego my the kg so he can buy Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technic-42115-Conf-Dragonfly-Lego-Multicolored/dp/B0813RJRYC

He also wants the Land Rover Defender that Rizzy posted.

We're going to build all his old sets (might take a while) one last time before selling either as a set or by the kg.

Not sure he worked at lego but JustinTolerable created personalised minifigures from lego.

They ended up in space on the ISS!

Nice :) The Bat looks aswesome.

Not a build as such, but we finished the display cabinate a few weeks ago. We've got a few more builds in the pipeline, a small starwars ship and my lad bough his mum some lego flowers to build, which looks rather intricate. Not the normal lego we buy but looks interesting. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G4KJGG3/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_4D7M2KAY3PWVSXRVQP8J)

We broke a glass shelf, I say we, it just exploded into a bazzillion shareds while being moved, so have bought a couple more to divide some of the spaces up.

Govee LED Strip Lights, 5m (£19.99) - was a Christmas present, had to wait months for the ikea furniture to become available and have delivery options. Looks like there are longer/cheaper alternatives

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Y2DWGXS

The unit is just a Kallax from Ikea with some of the seperating panels removed. We had to cut some of the dowels in half though. Might need to add some support but seems to be holding up for now.

Perhaps I'm a lego snob, but the fake stuff doesn't tend to be great quality. Lose/stiff parts to incomplete mouldingh and cheap plastic. I've also read that the designs are often stolen and no credit or profit goes to the creators, but I've not found any actual examples of it happening.
Title: LEGO Builds!
Post by: albert on November 26, 2021, 03:07:31 PM
I don’t think these guys are anything like lego, they are model vehicle makers. Of course they cannot use the brand names or pay royalties. They get amazing feedback.

Part of the build is actually construction of the drive and steering equipment. No blocks, literally airfix car style. Or like mechano.

Quote from: SithAfrikaan;446777Oh man, I have the Bugatti 42083 still boxed up -to-be-built-one-day Lego has stepped up the technic car game so nicely recently!

Ive read that the Bugatti will be taken out of sale soon, might want to keep it in the box if you want to earn something with it.

Bit of platypusing going on there? Looks really nice that one.

I'm not sure what Platypusing is but here's one I forgot to post.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220325/e783fcbd77baca9c2c4c28882c5388c5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220325/b76fa2855420c7dcdf9bcb1936dcdaa0.jpg)

Platypusing is what that F1 car is doing and making it come last in the race :) It's the nose of the car vertically shaking so much it screws up the aerodynamics.

ah ha, I'd heard of that, truth be told, that's my son's lego and he's the F1 nut in this house. :)

I’m trying to pluck up the courage to start one of these. Not built lego for 40 years. We’re short of space so perhaps the ISS and hang it with LEDs on there as a light above my PC area.

@Albert do it mate, the Space Station is a great build from the reports of people I know that it.

@TheDvEgitht, it is so good fun, so relaxing, I do a couple of hours with some tunes on, or a forgettable tv serries in the back ground.  And it takes my mind off of work, life and you come across parts of the builds which make you go ohh that really clever.  So get kit and try it mate.

You can extend the fun if you enjoy the art of "knolling", it's my happy place.

Wow Jamoe that is looking awesome! I am a little jelly! Do you dust this regularly or do you not mind it getting dusty in the long term?

This has been sat on my dinner table for over a year waiting to be done due to no space to put it, I've still not got anywhere to put it.

I completely thought the same thing, dust aaarrrgghhhh. can't cope with all that dusting. Maybe a blower gun every few months out back.

I bought an electric duster, between the pc & the lego it seemed a worthwhile purchase.

It's been updated and reorganised so many times we haven't really had an issue with dust.

I'm sure I'll need to invest in something soon.

Could you link what the heck you mean by an electric duster? Our biggest problem is our town is a steel town, the steel works pumps so much crap into the air that even where we are which is a good couple miles away and the bottom of a hill surrounded by woods, we get LOADS more dust than a town without this. I had no idea how serious it was until I looked it up... Now I wish I never did! :roflmao:

I have a small Ostrich Feather Duster which works very nicely but it doesnt get everywhere on the model.

A while back I grabbed this mains powered blower as a substitute for aircans: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EN8QQVG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use it for my PC filters and fans, in the car to blow dust out the gaps and to clear network/ video/  ports/ USB ports of dust. Works great. Take the PC outdoors first!

My son said it was a good build, the suspension is great and the way the wheels connect is different being an f1 car....

Easter break, I'm working, I didn't even get to help/ watch. [emoji24]

Also, we need that duster now [emoji23]

This looks great BT! Was it self made or is it a small set? I've got the big Technic version waiting patiently in its box until a time I can display Lego reliably!

Not to miss out, we had to buy some stuff from smiths and we got a free Lego Easter bunny.  Very difficult build :g:

It is a small set it, was released before the re designed reissued Big Tumbler.  

I also have the new Technic Batmobile to build to plus others but yes I have the space issue too.
