Non Technic LEGO

Recently built the speed champions set 76922 (BMW M4 GTS & race car). I did not enjoy it in all honesty. Lots of phaffing about with little bits of aero and the stickers . The stickers are a royal pain in the arse. Lots and lots of them and who thought black stickers on black bricks or white stickers on white bricks was a good idea. I nearly gave up applying them. The end models are ok but nothing spectacular in my opinion.

I'm on the Space Shuttle and really enjoying it.

I seem to remember mention if a trick fir doing the stickers - could someone remind me and explain it pleasethankyou?

Good little build, like others have said, more enjoyable than the UCS falcon was.

Started mine last night. Fabulous little build!

Moisten the back (sticky bit) with water and washing up liquid. Can then them slip them bout into right position. When it dries they’re stuck.

And another one done. Lego should really make more of these mini builds.
Again more enjoyable than the UCS size one. And i have space for it.
And the easter egg for the micro figures like the Falcon.

Ta - worked a treat. I found a teeny little spray-bottle thing and put the mix in that, sprayed each door, and then put the stickers on. Absolute doddle that way, and I'll probably do all future stickers like that.

This bit is a pain in the ass. Well, in the thumbs anyway

Glad it wasnt just me then

I finished the Space Shuttle. It was ace. Much better than Ecto 1.

Now I need to pick what to make next. Rollerskate, Technic garbage truck, Sian, mini Millenium Falcon, or tiny plants.

Quiet couple of days so assembled the monster that is the new TIE Interceptor. Quite a repetitive build around the wing roots and wings (the wings accounted for the last 8 of 22 bags) but it’s seriously impressive when finished, with nice details and a fully detailed cockpit. Now to find somewhere to put it…

And, if you get bored, you can rebuild it into a Venator...

Built this over Winter/early Spring. Apologies for dreadful pics!

Just finished mine and agree with you. Build not great but finished model looks good.
