Large Military Lego Planes - eeeerrr that's ME! I make kits of these with instructions and all the bricks...

Special rates for PH'ers - photo is actually from a PH customer!
Long may Lego NOT make them I say!
Seriously - I understand why they don't - kiddie's and all that.
They might be doing Concorde though - announcement in a few days.

I'll see your Concorde and raise you this 13 ft 65000 piece masterpiece

Bah..... half-a-Concorde! Vulcan is slow, slow work.....but there has been some behind the scenes action... I have managed to assemble some the best Lego Plane modellers in one online place and we chat and swap ideas ("we" incorrectly implies I'm one of the best - believe me, some of their stuff can be quite humbling)! One of the aims is to try and get some shows together in the UK. But who knows what may come out of it? Maybe some of them might let me release some of their MOCS as kits? Its not a priority, and I'm not pushing for it, but you never know.

Fun build, ain't it!

Did you opt for fitting the motor kit as well? I didn't bother.

Anyone got any pointers for acquiring Lego Architecture kits? Nearly choked (okay I actually did) at £286 for Falling Water!!

My daughter starts her BA Arch in Sept and a few experimental kits would be a perfect tool for prototyping designs.

Any help appreciated.

I haven't touched a Lego set in years after foolishly giving away all my Lego harbours and boats that I had as a child before realising they are worth a bit.

So I got myself a boat for £16 in sainsburys and it floats!



I think I'd like to get the new Porsche but it's trying to justify that to the better half rolleyes
