I already had the two VW's to build, but I got a fantastic deal on two Technics sets and the Sopwith Camel, the three new sets arrived today!!!!

Where did you find the Sopwith Camel? Didn’t buy it when new & always regretted it.

What else did you get with the Camel?

A chap on eBay had two of them, he's based in the Nederlands but postage is free, he trades as The-Record-Cave-Holland, there are several others on eBay at present, I also bought the service truck (420080 and the Volvo wheel loader (42030), I got a good deal as I bought all three.

Speed Champions Camaro ZL1 done.



For £13.00 it’s very good.

It's a Camaro rather than a Corvette, isn't it....?

I've picked up the other new release sets but not this one. Looks decent though from your pic.

That looks like a definite purchase. Much better than the bus, which is far too repetitive.

That mustang looks cool.

Been sorting out my minifigure collection:


In that picture there is just under 300! Added to the minifigures in their vehicles (I leave all my vehicles with driver and crew) and some in buildings, I now have around 450 in total.

Sounds like a lot but for my planned city to set up a semi realistic city centre will use a lot of them. Even the ground floor of my 4 storey hospital has used over 20 figures. Now add in shopes, office buildings etc. I also want at least one or two "skyscrapers" in lego and with semi-decent interior detail including minifigures. So sounds like i will need even more!!

Your city sounds really good, I'll admit I was surprised by how many chaps are building cities in Lego, they look great and it's very therapeutic!!!

There's plenty of great Lego city builds on youtube. Start with Jangbricks, he's the best Lego YouTuber. Nice guy and I find his voiceovers very calming.

D'oh ... I've just dismantled my VW Camper and stuck it on FB Marketplace locally.
A few bites for it at €70, being the average on Bricklink, but I just want someone to ACTUALLY PAY FOR IT. smile
Sold! smile

I liked jang too but got a bit fed up of him taking too long talking about every little detail. I do like his custo stuff the train stations he has done inspired me to do my own

Ive got a load of buildings, vehicles, all the roadway and train tracks ready to go. Mines going to be nothing anywhere near as big as Jang's city.

Mine wil probably be about 3m by 1.5 ish with an L leg off one side. I want it to fit in all the empty space in my lounge. I could abandon my lounge and move the lounge stuff to the dining room as its big enough to be a lounge and dining room, but i want the city in the lounge so its easier to work on and mess around with in a convenient place.

My lounge looks like this:



My thoughts are large L shape table at the shelves end of the room leaving sofas where they currently are. Option 2 is a U shape table into the bay window with the sofas at other end of room. In both cases the TV is going on the chimney breast wall.

decisions, decisions!!

Lmao I was thinking the same. My Lego is all relegated to my office and my daughters to her playroom. (Well other than then Disney castle which lives in my daughters bedroom and the cube calendar which lives at the bottom of the stairs)

Captured from the driving seat of my Lego powered Scalextric slot car. Spectacular in car action on the Wallsend Raceway, notice the train as it passes the furious racing action. Marvel at the fast turns and skillful overtaking. Gasp in horror at the smash at the end....
