I'd love to participate, and thanks for the email, Russ, but I've still not bvuilt the large Volvo thing from last year! I've not spent a great deal of time at home due to stupid business hours and loads of travel.
It certainly does, its been a while since I have felt the urge to build a model (I hate to say it, but I spend so much time looking at LEGO & LEGO Spreadsheets I get sick of making it!)
Might have to open one of these up and have a play!
