Just picked up the Catamaran, 42105, from Sainsbury’s. Currently reduced to £26.00.

Picked up a bargain the other week, shop near me had a minor flood during the recent heavy rain, outer box was in the window display, contents were in a box in the storeroom that got flooded, a number of boxes got wet, the box with this in included although the contents somehow escaped a soaking. Insurance wrote it off as potentially contaminated water. Offered the owner £120 as a joke, he accepted. All unopened.

It's my winter project

Great deal and for the shop owner some recovery of his stock (though no doubt insurance paying too)

£120 for that is an insane price - it’s the same as Costco’s Landrover Defender

Two boxes done on the Sian. I think I’ve used a black length when it should have been grey but I doubt it’ll make much difference.

An orange car is - not the 911 GT2 RS but not bad.

This has kept me occupied over the last couple of evenings....



Although I have got a slight problem in that the outriggers move in opposite directions....

I've got some disassembly ahead frown

Ok - 3 evenings and bit of "knolling" on Saturday.

(I never knew that organising bags and bricks pre-build had a term - I thought it was part of the usual PPPPPP exercise)

Tonight is reverse engineering the outrigger fault though, and that's going to be far easier if I remove the turret.

Sounds like you’ve just got a couple of the buff coloured bevel gears on the wrong side of their corresponding black pinions:



Easy fix *if* you can remove the front and rear bumpers and slide the axles out with some pliers.

Great model though, probably my favourite so far.

Depends on which end you took the photo of - they are handed, so double-check the instructions! It'll be one end that's wrong no doubt.

That's the rear of the crane - which I think is easiest end to dismantle, but I'll check it in more detail when I've finished work.

That's the rear of mine too.

Both the front and rear should have the buff coloured bevel gears towards the back of the chassis. So it looks like your rear gears definitely need switching.

I like the question about price. They want to know the maximum number of sausages they can get for the the minimum squeak.

Somewhere between £280 and £360 is where i see it. But, its Porsche, so its got fees to pay to them and its got tech in it. so it will probably be way more.

The tech needs to be available to put in something else, like a truck or a crane or something not Porsche.
