I think 31134 or 41713 are probably closer to the right scale.

I’ll be buying the artemis but I’ve no idea where it will go.
I’m the same. Definite purchase but really struggling on space to put it biggrin
Yep, same here. I bought Concorde thinking I had somewhere to put it, and then found out how big it really is and then I had the problem.

This is going to be a known problem before I even buy it.

Still buying it though!

I finished the Land Rover Classic Defender 90 Icons set (10317) yesterday, if you build the plain version the amount of parts left over is staggering.

Value wise your paying for a lot of Lego you will not use if only building the plain version, I know Lego would never do it but offering a cheaper plain version would make sense.

Not disparaging the amount of work that’s gone into that kit, but it’s nearly the same cost as the model kit.

£70 for the kit and then £72 for the right wheels and stickers is punchy. eek

To be fair, they are coming from Australia.

It does look much better with the Marlboro branding and wider rear wheels.
Got my stickers from Facebook and wheel/tyre from eBay - around £55 all in

Hmm, I now don't know if I prefer the more plasticky/shiny looking wheels from the eBay seller (which are more in keeping with the plasticky/shiny Lego bricks of the car) or whether I rather like the more realistic-looking ones I've ordered from Etsy.... scratchchin

Had a sort through today and i've put my Caterham Seven 620R (21307) new and sealed item up for sale. I wont build it and i've a few more going on ebay over the weekend that I'm either not keen on or don't think i'll build due to time or space. I bought this at the Nurburgring when I went with my mum years ago.

Why dont you sell them on here? Sure you,d get some interest and wouldnt have to pay Ebay fees.
Oh and edit, I built 21307. It self destructs even if you so much as look at it smile
Does look good tho when finished.
