Anyone got hold of the Ninjago Docks yet? I bought Ninjago City last year and really enjoyed the build, more so than any other Lego build I've done. Only a matter of time before this finds its way into my collection too.

Here is a photo of a white and black one I have.



Alternatively any ideas of a different block to attach to a single vertical peg and give me a horizontal antenna or beam, it could be quite long. Picture below is the mast, I have the radar domes and supports, it is the four horizontal poles (looking like a ladder on its side in the photo) that I am trying to add into my model.
Hope you put pics of the model on here when it's completed.

The final Lego pieces arrived courtesy of Mart so I have finished my Type 45 model.
I apologise to those who will be offended but the basic hull and superstructure is made from non Lego. It based around an Armed Forces kit made by Cobi.
The armed forces model is very inaccurate and after being given an initial kit as a present I purchased a second kit and combined them to start again and build it to scale.
Most of the details which have been added are Lego.
It is just under a metre long and has been built close to a 1:150 scale.

Glad you got your pieces to finish it off.

Looks good!

Tempted by a few of the Cobi sets, but as the Bugatti is on its way i may have to wait a while to keep the boss happy.

Thanks. The quality of the Cobi blocks is good. The accuracy of this model was very poor, but it is branded armed forces rather than Cobi.
There are probably as many Lego blocks in this as Cobi.
I enjoyed building this to my own design far more than I enjoyed building the GT3 technic model as that was just following instructions. Working out the build for myself reminded me what I liked about Lego in my youth.

At least 25% off everything Lego on Tesco Direct as of today, I think 250+ different sets were reduced but I'm guessing some have already gone.

Amazon appear to auto-price match as well (at least initially) which meant all the Lego Jurassic World stuff dropped by at least 25% this morning. Got a bunch of stuff but quite a few sets have gone back up now, presumably as Tesco sell out. Lockwood Estate was £90, which is a hefty discount for a new set bang in the middle of the release of the film.

Cheers for the tipoff. Just ordered a couple of architecture and technic sets, would be rude not to!

Roller Coaster build.

Bag 1


Bags 2+3 (got carried away!)


Bag 4


Bag 5


There is obviously a lot of constructing of pillars. Bag 5 gets onto some of the mechanicals / lift hill gear etc.

It is certainly a beast!

Thanks to Cliffe_Mafia for the excellent spot and for sharing the bargain he located.

I've spent the past 3 weeks downloading instructions, rebuilding and cleaning the models that were built (sometimes not correctly!). Based on the sets I've built (which is all that I could identify) there are 20-30 pieces missing that I may order from BrickLink.

In addition to the sets pictured I've got a large box of pieces (maybe 300-500 bricks, something like this plus approximately 50 minifig's that I need to re-assemble.

I've taken a picture of the 3 most distinctive missing pieces, does anybody know which set these may have come from or is there a way to work it out based on the brick number or anything like this?

£20 very well spent in my eyes

Missing Pieces:
The recycling brick I think is from set 60000 (Fire motorcycle)- recycling bin on fire:

Cracking, thanks Whitean3. That's 1 of the 3 smile
