The pfm Lego Investment Challenge

The bricks will come in many numbered bags.

dunno about the crane, but the Lego Technic 911 RSR came with bags that were not numbered.

second carriage done. Interior detail is fun

This is structurally much stronger than the first. Careful looking told me one of the large floor plates in carriage one, was slightly warped which meant it didn't hold together as expected.

The Liebherr excavator is great fun, and with three motors, every part of it works!
Control from the bluetooth app works well.
Not sure the crane works as such?
Just finishing off Mars Perseverance which was a nice surprise on the 25th.

I have a built and then de-built excavator, in numbered bags and in it's box (loads of photos)! It's taking up A LOT of room in case anyone wants it.

Still waiting for the day Lego releases a Bentley Blower

I'd like Lego to release another iconic aircraft to accompany the Concorde. Something like a B-747, A-380 or a relic like the DC-3 - with retractable landing gear, flaps and control surfaces like the Concorde has, of course.

we are waiting for a Chinook

we are waiting for a Chinook

Might be a long wait. The Lego V-22 Osprey was pulled due to its military use. I suspect a Lego Chinook will fall into the same line of reasoning and not see the light of day.

Having built the Disney Tribute Camera, Jazz Quartet and The Great Wave before Christmas, it's now time for the big one: Concorde!

I'm two bags in and, as is often the case, I think Lego are doing it wrong. The first gear mechanism is locked - what's the point in that? But as is often the case, Lego invariably are right and it's me who simply thinks they're wrong. We'll see...

EDIT: I'm wrong. The mechanism just got unlocked. I guess it was just a temporary brace lol

 

[windhoek]

You know you're enjoying a build when you start making sound effects as you're taking the wings for a test drive lol

 

[gintonic]

this was fun - mechanism is clever

Red Frame White Light, as they say in Meols:

Introducing the LEGO® Ideas 21347 Red London Telephone Box

Please welcome the LEGO® Ideas 21347 Red London Telephone Box set! This iconic recreation was originally brick-built and submitted by our British fan ...

PS I object to ‘London’ in the title! IIRC it is only Hull that didn’t have them.

 

[gintonic]

hmmm wonder if one would squeeze in next to our iconic red London routemaster bus
