    Hello everyone! This is what I've built in the last few days. It is a modular LEGO store with an apartment. If you want to see more details of this creation, then you can check out the funny stop motion animation I've made about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN2RGPvtcs8

    Used the template of #5005747 Black Card Display Stand to make a similar display for the Licence To Build Card.

    Now moved to the cinema room, which my wife has agreed can be filled with movie-related Lego.
    I wonder if she knows just how many movie related themes Lego has pursued in the last decade... Sounds to me like she may also have inadvertently given you a “license to buy” card also! 😀

    @stlux- lately while I build I listen to an 1980s Casey Kasem countdown on I❤Radio

    Slow building weekend, but it was really nice to actually build anything at all after not having touched a set for a couple weeks.

    Two sets that I picked up on super clearance which I really just grabbed for parts - #60176 and #41453.

    Building #6085 with my son. Already unearthed all the bricks from my huge old stash during the weekend, now i gave him the bricks and he builds. Goes pretty well! A lot harder than more modern sets though, no bricklist per step, nor highlighted added bricks. Might be an idea to return to this format for creator expert, makes for some more challenging building!

    Staying for work. Local Sainsburys had the SC F40 for £6. Bargain build that filled an otherwise dull evening in a hotel.

    Looks great!  I  bought the plans for this one when BBB had that sale a few weeks ago... I’m about 50% there on the parts.

    Thanks. I'll add this to my growing list of builds!

    Shame they don't share the parts lists. I always prefer seeing if I can scoop up the parts before buying instructions... Just in case the parts become tricky.

    Couple of hours on the kitchen table and half the first book is done. Connecting the rear diff assembly to the main chassis

    Colonial Viper.

    Taking ages... Some odd techniques... A bit fragile and frustrating in places. Already very heavy.

    @TheFew is that davdup's moc from rebrickable? I'm so on the fence about doing this as looks amazing but obtaining the stickers in good quality concerns me as not sure how good it will look without them. Look forward to seeing your progress...

  • KungFuKennyKungFuKenny Member Posts: 2,368
    Looks like the Viper?  Great work so far!
  • TheFewTheFew Member Posts: 1,781
    @PJ76uk

    Yes it is this one. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-9424/davdup/colonial-viper-mkii/

    Looking to finish it over the next week. Was not going to bother with stickers, but maybe could try a bulk purchase from somewhere later down the line. Will add more snaps as I go.

    According to rebrickable I have 96.7% of the parts - one day I really need to add sets on permanent display to the assembled list so it excludes them! Glad your going to add more snaps, very interested in how good it looks at the end.

    The canopy is one of the trickier parts to find.

    I just went for part 551ps1 from sets #7264 & #7166 with the intention of removing the print as they're quite cheap and readily available. (Also got more than one just in case it doesn't to according to plan on the first go).

    I would be interested in how easy you manage to remove the print (and how!), might be the incentive I need to crack on with collecting the parts for this moc!

    If it is the same as minifigure wiping.. Brasso and a microfibre cloth.

    @Speedman29

    Is that the Casillero Merlot?  What do you think of their wines?  I wonder if there are pairing guidelines based on what type of Lego you are building...🤔

    Its a 2011 Technic set, of course it's paired with a 2017 Merlot! If it were a current Star Wars set it would be a bottle of Malbec. I tend to drink a  Shiraz with City sets, a local ale with Trains and a bottle of Blue Nun with Fabuland!
    Last book to go now. As its before 5pm on a week day it's full fat Coke.

    Picked up a brand new sealed #10211 Grand Emporium for a decent price on eBay, couldn't resist putting it together, so whilst the kids were at school I had a little building session...

    @PJ76uk

    Your flag poles seem a little over-excited... maybe just happy to see you?  😄

    Really nice job @Paperballpark — I especially like the sideways building techniques and the leaning/bump-out section directly over the “post” sign

    After a hiatus of a good few months due to general life busyness I finally had some tome to work on my backlog. 

    Rogue One.

    These ships are beasts. I love them.

    @COLT731 "The things that saved Lego from backruptcy back in 2000-2001" (picture of Bionicle models). I thought Harry Potter and Star Wars saved TLG's ass. Bionicle wouldn't have hurt, thought, and all of those show the market for toys that are part of a larger entertainment franchise, whether in-house or licensed.
  • KingAlanIKingAlanI Member Posts: 2,342
    I have the most space to build in the TV room so if I'm doing anything else while building it's generally watching something in there. Just realized it would be good for the breaks between plays in American football

    @SeanTheCollector I love me some oldschool Castle but hadn't thought of DUPLO. Looks almost as nice as a small LEGO set.
    I did build #10834 for myself as  LEGO food (especially pizza) junkie

    #6075 like @gelkster built seems too plain for me but nice nostalgia value

    @stlux I kept the Beatles figs from #21306 but listed the rest of it on BL, love the music but never watched their movies, figured they're cheesy, so I wasn't attached to the sub

    #10766 was on sale and I needed the green trophy figure for something else.  I didn’t want to just sort the parts so I decided to un-juniorize my Toy Story RC car...

    RC looks so great like this!
