And, if course the Wooden Duck and moulding machine.

I like the moulding machine. Isn't there an exclusive set at Bilund airport too?
No idea sorry, mostly visited Denmark by sea.

Battery box is 3 AAA for pespective.
Thank you for that. Less dismantling than I expected, I was expecting the cables to all run internally. The battery box is going to be a problem with it wall mounted though.

Just finished the Creator 3in1 astronaut (31152). Nice build and goes ok with the other space themed Lego I have. Got it for £33 on Amazon, which I think is about right as £45 RRP is a bit steep for what you get.

Awesome, as it's pay day and I have £50 worth of VIP points I've ordered it, and the decals.

Where can I get the wheels printed?

Lady BMcH bought me The Great Wave for my birthday.

Sadly my fingers are rather sore from taking Himeji Castle apart. But I shall prevail.

There is a set on ebay for sale but I am not sure they look that good, I too would like to know where I can get a good set to the correct sizes please ?

The video below is very informative on the sizing.

I saw a post FB where a guy adapted 2x narrow wheels to make a single wide one. It needed some of the parts in the floor changing to accommodate the wheels, but it looked excellent. Sadly I can't find the post now.

You do have to modify the floor to get the wider wheels on the back - the parts are shown in the racing brick video that's linked further up in the thread.

I might print a couple of sets of wheels - will see how they come out and let you know.They aren't perfect - but look good enough for display I think.

Good to hear. I have got my eye on it for May.

It will make up for the crushing disappointment of finding a massive queue outside of Leicester Square yesterday at 7.15pm that Mrs Megaflow refused to stand in...

As a break from mainly cars and Star Wars I picked up the Architecture Himeji Castle for a relative bargain (€110 compared to the normal €160) which, for well over 2000 pieces, I was happy with.

What a thing! The detail achieved on this beauty is breathtaking, certainly for someone who grew up with the blocky 70s sets. I’ve only done a couple from this series before, but now I’m looking out for a good price on the Pyramid to follow up this most pleasurable building experience.

I really enjoyed Himeji Castle - far more variation as you go along than it probably looks like.

And substantial without being too huge.

Having an epic clear out of the Lads Lego collection, trying to reunite complete sets, mainly StarWars but quite a bit of city, all in a very played with state, extra bits built on to stuff, bits missing and like looking for a needle in a pile of needles for some bits. :banghead





4 days in I think 3 models are complete…ish. hehe

But I did manage to build up my 1980’s castle, just missing a few of the mini figs
