Two top tips. The bit where it ‘marries up’ there’s a QR code to a video….watch it

Use one less chain link

I really enjoyed the Ducati. I also used one less chain link and also sprayed my wheels gold.

This was a nice build for the Easter weekend, although lots of stickers and Lego seemingly have a blind spot about different width front/rear tyres. If Cada can do it with the Alfa…

It is a good model but you wonder why Lego bothered when the car was so crap, it would have made sense to model one of the older cars.

They will have started the design before they knew how it would perform.

I finished building the Defender yesterday (42110), I have a question no matter what gear I try the pistons do not move, should they move if so any ideas what I might have got wrong.

[Sporky]

I found there was a lot of slack in the enormous gear change, and it needed to be rolled almost a metre before the pistons moved.

Thank you, sorted it all ok, I found that I had fitted the front diff the wrong round.

[Sporky]

I made this. For £13 there's a lot going on - engine, suspension, and tilt-steering like a rollerskate. Plus it's small enough to drive around a table.

I've been offered a ferrari 488 (42124) (retired product) for £85 and the airbus chopper (42145) for £90 both new and unboxed.

I'm a non technic guy and buy to build, but are these any good for long term investment or do I just get one and build it?

Cheers.

Paul.

The Airbus helicopter is excellent. Remember 6x AA batteries…

I've got the Ferrari and didn't find it a particularly good build or a nice finished model so I'd say no from a building perspective (I have no idea on investment, I don't do that with Lego!).

[pd2]

Cheers both.

Like you Zed, I buy and build, that's the whole idea of lego 😁

I might take the chopper then, will build it. lol

I’ve got both and personally I preferred the helicopter. The Ferrari is an ok piece but nothing special. If you want to know potential values have a look at brick economy.

[Sporky]

I've not done the Ferrari, but the helicopter is very clever.

I have built, stripped down & rebuilt the Defender 4 times.

I still can't get the sodding thing to move on its wheels.

Gave up & put it on a shelf!!!
