And this would be Ken Block then?

By all accounts the set was designed before Ken Block passed away hence the lack of branding.

Spaceship!

Bought a 3D printer, after printing the wall mounts for everything, there was only one logical next print




Yes I changed a few of the colours and it is a little rough in places whilst I figure out the settings, overall happy with it though.

I've just bought a KB43 sticker set for it. Now just need to buy the set...

Maybe not my place to say, but I am not happy to see these for sell, as nothing from the sales goes back to the KB charities.

Audi e-tron arrived today, and it’s in paper bags

And yet the Mustang Dark Horse is all still plastic!

I have recently won an eBay auction for a 10295 Porsche 911. It’s just turned up and it’s not in great condition. A number of the pieces have started to yellow quite badly which wasn’t mentioned in the auction.

Is there any way to recover these back to white?

First thing I would do is complain to the seller if it wasn't mentioned. Yellowing/discoloration is pretty obvious even for a Lego novice, so it should have been mentioned. It's caused by the bricks being in sunlight. Not even bright direct sunlight. White & light grey are the worst for it.

To fix, Hydrogen Peroxide and sunlight. Yes, the same sunlight thing that causes it, fixes it (apparently). Here's a vid, I like Jang, he knows his Lego stuff:

Disclaimer, I tried this process once with some very, very yellowed bricks white bricks and whilst it made a big difference, it didn't work perfectly for me. But it was just a few bricks in a very small chinese takeaway tub to see if it worked, and on a day that was somewhat more overcast than sunny and I only tried once as I'm lazy and just bought new ones.

Sorry, I've probably not helped at all!

This arrived today with a bonus Technic F1 Mercedes

Speed Champions Supra arrived for me today, my plan is to build it up as is, then tear it down to convert into an MR2 Roadster.

I should have bought it when they were everywhere in the shops though.

I was going to place a second order to get another copy of that freebie set - I haven't built the one I've got yet but it is probably one of my favourite nostalgia sets. I had all of the original space sets it reimagines. Wish I'd not sold my childhood Lego when I was 17.

I really want this set!

[Sporky]

Mine came with a space shuttle. I'm going to keep it until it's worth hundreds and then build it.

[Daveb257]

So this happened today and the senior management was not impressed depart it being delivered on the same DPD van as her latest Radley bag purchase


Glad she didn’t see the latter delivery which may be space shuttle and McLaren F1 car shaped inside that box

[pd2]

for me this week was the 4 new speed champion sets, MP4/4, mini millennium falcon, new R2D2, kingfisher and polaroid camera......

This ain't a cheap hobby!!

I built the GR Supra yesterday, a fun build, but too many stickers for my liking.

I'm glad you put what it is because there is no way I would have guessed it was a Supra.

Not the easiest shape to transfer to a Lego build I guess.

[Craikeybaby]

Possibly not the best angle to show it off, but it has got the long bonnet and the ducktail at the back.

Ah yeah I think top down, with the stickers it's far more obvious.
