I got this bad boy for Christmas..........

**Professor Farnsworth** · 25-12-2022, 08:49 PM

Made that a while ago - it's as ugly as you think.

**GasoLane** · 25-12-2022, 10:08 PM

Has anyone got 42145 the Airbus Rescue Helicopter? It's part of the Christmas loot I was given.

**DJM83** · 04-01-2023, 02:58 PM

Been a while since ive built anything.
Pulled apart 2 trailer i had build, inc container trailer was on the Mack Anthem (i didnt like it anyway)
Finished the B trailer today, took about 5 hours of sorting through 2000 odd bits.
Racks on it fold down and also all 3 axles steer, not sure how, but its linked to the A trailer.
Here it is coupled to the Volvo FH16

Very nice.
That can't be a Volvo. The cabs not tilted.

I have 3 Volvos at the moment
FH 4x2 and 6x4 and a 1990 F16 8x4
I love the look of them to be honest.

I love the lego trucks, just wished lego would release more, almost all my trucks are something someone else has designed.

Thought you'd know what they are

I have no idea, i just followed the build instructions.

Tonz · 04-01-2023, 06:53 PM

maybe a stupid idea ,,,
but air inlets for air-conditioning. Bent down so they dont suck birds in and get updraft from windscreen.

Spent this morning at Brickvention and decided to drop a lazy $1k on the Titanic set from The Lego Store afterwards. Looks like it’ll take at least 12 hours to build.

Well done, it's supposed to be an amazing build.

I bought the Eiffel Tower on release a couple of months ago, the box is almost the size of our oven.

Not sure when I'll have spare time to go assemble 10,001 mostly-grey-pieces, but when I get around to it, it should be frustrating yet rewarding.

Adamz Ghia · 21-01-2023, 09:23 PM

I was tossing up between the two, but having built the Colosseum recently, I wasn’t ready to complete another single colour build again

Id love to build that, im more a technic fan but Titanic would be amazing.

**DJM83** · 12-02-2023, 04:50 PM

So i purchased the instructions for this B double combo a little while ago. I disassembled the trailer from my Mack Anthem, and another trailer i have.
I started the B trailer ages ago. Thought id make a start on the A trailer today.
It just needs the racks and wat not built.
The b trailer has some strange steering set up linked to the a trailer so it steers, which is a faff. Doesnt matter its only displayed anyway. So once the B trailer is finished ill start looking at what i can build with my mountain of spares to load the trailers.

**DJM83** · 19-02-2023, 03:25 PM

Finished off my Volvo B double, few parts the wrong colour but what ever.
Really need some stuff to load it up with (to scale also)
Will probably faff around with it and add a few bits here and there, as it was meant to be built with spares from just one set so limited but i have heaps of parts. The trailer airlines seem to work. Needs some from a to b trailer also.

Had a chance to start building it yet?
I was in Melbourne last month and i spotted it for sale in a lego store. Nearly purchased it myself. I reckon it'd be an amazing build!

Nothing new from me at this stage.

**GasoLane** · 25-03-2023, 02:54 PM

I'm not sure how I came about these pics, but if anyone here feels like a challenge and has a really really big room............

25-03-2023, 07:56 PM

All my kits are for sale in a package deal if anyone is interested you know what to do...

**73 4V XB** · 26-03-2023, 11:04 AM

Hey guys, I’ve just stumbled upon this thread.
I’ve got a few sets kicking around. Some are fake but I’m not fussed.

I had lots as a kid and passed it into my nephew when he was old enough, unfortunately he didn’t like it and it was thrown out

It all started again when my daughter got me the space station for Xmas a few years ago. From there the other space sets came along and now I’m hooked again

This is a the LUT Lego was “going to” release after meeting the appropriate numbers for production but they never did

The quality is not as that of Lego but it looks the part and has all the moving bits and was half the price

**Professor Farnsworth** · 28-03-2023, 08:17 AM

Mostly hidden in a tipper tray is the best place for that GT500 lol - i have mine on display on a high shelf in my walk-in robe.

**DJM83** · 10-04-2023, 04:45 PM

Made up a shipping container the other week, from some instructions on rebrickable, but there was a few parts i didnt have so its a little dodge.

Sorry for the late reply, I only just saw this.

Yeah it’s finished now, and it’s easily one of the best sets they’ve ever released, both for the build process and end result. It’s solid as a rock and very accurate to the real thing. The hardest thing is finding a spot to display it. It’s huge!

Lego has been getting crazy expensive lately, but this was worth every cent.

**DJM83** · 06-05-2023, 04:08 PM

I follow this bloke on Instagram and he posts a bit in some lego groups im in on Facechook.
I built his 1990 Volvo F16 8x4
So many of his trucks id love to build.
This is a work of art.
Again i wish lego bought out more trucks, rather than the rubbish they are at the moment. That new Peugeot racer is horrible!

You might have to get into AMT to find more trucks. Love that earlier F series third on the back.

AMT or Revell or ERTL made 1/25 scale truck model kits, sorry not Lego.

Couldn't be harder than Lego. Had them years ago, ERTL the Rubberduck's R700L Mack, built the AMT Movin On W925 and AMT BJ and the Bear K100 Aerodyne then had to give them all away when we moved onto a boat.

Been collecting a few kits again lately slowly building some when at home.
