I’ve made the Mars Rover and I really enjoyed it, nice solid piece, it’s just the right size to finish off my space themed Lego |https://thumbsnap.com/xdKk21zg[/url]

I bought it and built it. Within a week it was dismantled, back in the box and in the loft. I thought the build was boring and the finished model looked naff. Just my opinion it I regret buying it.

I am indeed doing the dusting……..with a can of compressed air.
I have to hold onto the minifigs though. These ones are a lot easier to dust

I feel for ya! I left my GT3 out for a while and was horified how much dust it has collected.

Has anyone seen any discounts on Lego web? I have been given a voucher...

I bought a set of blusher brushes, nice and soft, perfect for dusting my collection.

Yes, but what about your Lego?

I've got a camera lens cleaning brush for my watches. It's like your make up brushes but it has a bulb on the end you squeeze to blow the dust away.

Finished this the other night, sadly there was two missing pieces so the bottom fairing isn't complete yet.



I didn't really enjoy the BMW build, but this was much more enjoyable. Much prefer a paddock stand to the centre one they provide. I'll need to have a look at what parts I need to make one for the MT

Currently building the Peugeot 9x8..

What a cracking build so far & love the use of original style Lego building pieces.

Only downside is the wheels. They are dull so looking for a link too a decent set of wheels or decals/stickers for the tyres.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

TIA.

Finished the Firefighter plane (42152) this week. Got to say I really enjoyed the build and the finished model looks good to my eyes. Picked it up in the Lego sale a couple of weeks back for £70 but at standard price (£95) its reasonable value compared to some of the sets recently.

I was tempted when it was on sale but just couldn't do it.

Finally got round to building the Sian. Really fun build, but the colour matching really is as bad as everyone says.
