Fabulous!

My boy is always on at me to make a Death Star. I realised very quickly that, actually, I'm really st at lego

[fathomfive]

This was my favourite Technic kit:

I had that kit and one of the newer versions of it.

Your worst nightmare is when you have mis read the pictogram and not built it quite right,1 out can bring on a right strop from a 10 y/o(my son's 10 I'm a bit older).

I used to help my brother build the imperial star destroyer like this one

Thats cool

I was playing round with some technic recently and built a bi plane with moving pistons and landing gear.

There was a video kicking about recently of a guy who had built an automated factory out of lego which built other lego things.

I used to have about 4 boxes of the stuff (20kgs! :eek) till only a few years ago when i sold it to someone who collected it, i got pictures back of the lot all assembled and built which was quite a sight, i've got the picture lurking at home somewhere..

Still the bug bit again and i couldn't do without having a bit around for fun so i got this, which also helped with a project at university



It's blooming huge! i've measured the total length (with the towing gear up) at just over 0.7 of a metre if i remember

All of that is amateur lego!

It seems so easy these days, what with the technics kits. Try building something massive with just the normal everyday bricks that we had when I was a kid. I got quite adept at making huge models of Thunderbird two though, complete with separate pod.

Confession time - I'm 37 and still collect Lego Trains despite the wife placing an embargo on it.

Here's a very little bit of mine - built only to check it you understand not to stick trucks on the track and cause crashes......

[EvoBarry]

I posted this in the last Lego thread on here but what the hell, here it is again:



This is one set of many shelves in our office As you can see we work with Lego quite a lot... and yes, I realise someone has stolen the body of the AT-AT, they must have been using it for research at the time. There's tons around the office tho.

I tried to buy that Technic Truck before Xmas, but they'd sold out!

Had loads of Lego as a child. Every birthday and Chrismas I'd always want another Lego set. Made things easier for my parents I guess to choose presents

Used to love LWGO.....still do, though a bit old to play with it now I think

I was very good at making things.

I made a Racing circuit full with F1 cars (I got specific coloured parts to make replicas of the Team inc colour schemes), Pits section, and Grandstands. Took up the whole living room, but it was awesome!!!

You are never too old to play with lego! Mine has been moved from my folks place to mine and then back to my folks place when I ran out of room.

Just as well I've got the N gauge trainset, scalextric, and tamiya r/c cars to play with or I'd go completely insane...

Would love to put together a complete star wars set of lego though - but have you seen the prices!
