[Misc] Any other old gits build Lego kits?

[Dave the OAP]

I follow Emma Kennedy’s Lego build twitter feed, fun with bricks ( she is bonkers)

But I never really got any lego stuff when I was young so I started buying stuff lately.

Fathers day present just finished



Huge Ferrari….took me months!



Nice motor bike…took about 2 months.

Still do wooden ships and trams - latest creation…Endurance, Earnest Shackleton’s ship.

Lego technic and Lego creator.

A lot of Lego these days are actual specific kits although you can get the bricks/windows/doors etc boxes.

Me neither! I still play with Lego - but only with my grandchildren! Mind you, they usually lose interest and go on to play with something else, leaving Grandad with the Lego.....................!

I thought that every parent's lasting memories of lego is 'F*** THAT HURTS' when they leave bricks lying all round the house

My youngest son (now 19) loved Lego, he asked for a police station one Christmas, this kit was pretty big and probably too advanced for him at the time.
I helped him put it together (built it myself more like) a few days later the police station had Lego Star Wars figures lined up on the roof.
A few weeks later he dismantled the police station and the bricks etc ended up in his tub of assorted Lego.

Fast forward two years and he asked for a Lego Police station for his birthday, I told him he had one if he sorted out the bits and built it. He said they had a new version out now (looked the same to me)

My 6 year old grandson loves Lego, he's already doing stuff aimed at 15 year olds'.
For Christmas he's asked for "some Lego that I need to follow the instructions on".

He is however not an old git, so this may be irrelevant to this thread.

This thread is way off into modeling.

Lego had about 6 different bricks (maybe 12 if you included the single things) and resided in one of these which was made of metal and was huge



If it doesn't have sharp corners it's not lego. It's as bad as a Porsche with 4 doors

We have the Space Shuttle and Saturn V in our lounge.

Building that whilst reading The Sun

I love it, currently building the Ferrari Daytona. I had a collection when I was younger that my sister and her friend kindly smashed up and my parents dumped it all into a couple of boxes. Spent a few weeks a few summers ago sorting and rebuilding them and that got me back into it again.

I have a collection of Technic and Creator Expert models that have filled the wardrobe in our spare room, so have a storage box arriving on Friday to put some in out of the way.

Big Lego fans in my house.

I like the sets they're doing from films and stuff like that. My other half is currently working on a 4k piece treehouse.

There's a Lego Titanic on Amazon for 999 quid!

Its all about trains in our house. I enjoy building, the boys playing.

Tend to do the prestige ones - the big millenium falcon, mos eisley, ghostbusters firehouse, 66 batcave, ghostbusters car, Friends apartment/central perk, Daily bugle etc. Have a ViP membership with lego for l=points that can be used as discounts on later purchases. Only have so much space, so I'm constantly taking them down to create more space for the next build.

They're shortly going to discontinue the disney castle set and the Imperial star destroyer sets, getting serious FOMO.
