Lego!

reading the description … its says “compatible with OTHER brick sets” so it sounds like some kind of knockoff lego … possibly even 3d printed bricks or that chinese knock off… if you can get the plans you could probably buy the individual bricks from lego … but it would be pricey

this is the site from the makers

and on their site they have

Nothing says “I have to get something very heavy to somewhere out of the way” like HET does :wink:

The boy has decided he wants to rebuild the first Lego set he got from Grandma and Grandpa for his birthday.

The same set he took apart in the middle of the living room two months ago.

Hopefully this will be the beginning of a lesson in responsibility and why we clean up our toys.

USS Midway is finally done. Took about 2 months and was a wonderful project.

While waiting for some parts for Midway I did this little side project. Can anyone guess which ship this is? A little tip, it was sunk almost exactly 80 years ago.

Is it the deepest wreck ever discovered…?

Yes :slight_smile:

I just weighted Midway. She is 4.85 kg. Based on the piece/weight ratio of Missouri, Yamato and Enterprise, my Midway probably has around 4200 pieces.

You didn’t count? :stuck_out_tongue:

All of those are excellently done! Huge fan of Cobi. Love watching my son make his own aircraft out of our massed collection of Cobi blocks.

USS Samuel B. Roberts. The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship. In the Battle off Samar she engaged the Japanese battle fleet, including the battleship Yamato, in surface combat.

LEGO are partnering with F1.
A lot of F1 cars in all sizes are planned for 2025.

But this one’s got my attention!

Happy to see they fixed the narrow rear tire issue with the Senna MP4/4 they released this year.

Beautifully done MBot. DE-413 is a very worthy project. :+1:

Oh man I didn’t need to see that model of the Endurance!

Had no idea, would love it but can’t imagine where in the world I’d put it.

I browsed the toystore for some cool LEGO for my nephews birthday, when I stumbled across this…

How cool is that!?
It can even flap the wings!

Ol’ Leo himself!
Had he been born in modern times, I feel certain he would’ve been a Mudspike member, just like other modern Italian Renaissance men, amongst us…

Think about it! Leonardo was interested in technology, flying, war machines and beautiful ladies.

This LEGO set was a nice surprise and was a pleasure to build, with its moving parts.

My kids lately got back into Lego.

And after a while I decided to try building some Lego again myself.

I played around with that bricklink Studio software (which has become a nice Lego CAD thing, I felt right at home in it).

Then I just drove to my parents and gathered all my old Legos that I could find. I spent a week now cataloging sets, sorting parts into categories, and researching stuff.

Between my parents, my brother, my kids and I we apparently own over 160 sets now, mostly small stuff since Lego has always been expensive, but ranging from the 1960s (only a handful of things) to this year, most of it between 1983 and 1994.

Today I called my brother and informed him that I have all the stuff ready to BUILD.
So he came over and we built a few little sets from our youth:

The LEGO space sets of the mid 1980s always had such an appealing aesthetic to my eye. Not only the promotional designs in the LEGO catalogs, but even the way the sets were designed and built.

They are really fun. Many are small, but they have so much… character. Plus the nostalgia of course. Some of those had not been complete in over 30 years.
