This is a genuine question and isn't a criticism in any way, but does anyone actually scratch build any more? After reading through these pages I'm getting the impression that people buy a kit, make the model from the instructions, and then presumably display it. Is that the case?
For me, growing up, models got made from the kit, stayed standard very briefly, and then immediately started going though a metamorphosis of modification and improvement until unrecognisable, or else the choice parts nicked for another project and the rest of the parts put into the Lego box.
The 'mech that I posted earlier is a good example of this. Although, now I come to think of it, that one might have been entirely scratch-built.
No, I made the mistake of looking at MOCs on Eurobricks and then fell into a depression over how awesome they all look and now I have no desire to build my own cruddy examples.

See on faceache they've just announced Mclaren, Ferrari and Porsche cars for 2015. Seem to be a similar size to the Shell ones.
Spotted that through a flickr contact- a little bigger than the Shell models I think. Built my Shell sets today 
and they remain 4-studs wide with slight wheel protrusions. The teased Speed Champions look more like 6+ studs wide. Bodes well.
McLaren P1
Porsche 918
Might just have to buy one or three to park outside my Parisian Restaurant.

They are going to make the Big Bang Theory Ideas submission into a set.
Big Bang Theory is not in my interests personally, but a link for those who are:https://ideas.lego.com/projects/58456
Any guesses on the price? I'm going £54.99.

I've seen loads of good ideas get rejected on Lego CUUSOO/ Ideas and yet they've approved a set based on the pile of s
t that is Big Bang Theory? 
It may be a pile of st that is Big Bang Theory? t to you, but it does have a massive following. Loads of Big Bang fans will want it, so it's almost a given that it'll sell well.AshVX220 said:

In case it's of interest, my local Tesco has this Architecture book for £11.50. Looks really good, I just don't have the space right now.
