Well here is my recent build, it is so solid it doesn't look it but it weights so much!!  

Such a great model

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

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.

I tried 2 of the Star Wars beers, no idea how they got these licensed, or did they. Anyway, not bad, decent middle of the road pales and IPAs. Never saw the stout.

Oh 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!
Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.

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.

albert

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.
