    I love lego used to buy my son lots just so I could do them then started getting them for myself 

    Unfortunately I can no longer do lego due to visio  and peripheral neuropathy in fingers 

    They look great by the way 

    I also used to do the 3d jigsaws you might enjoy things like eiffel Tower

    The trouble is that it's not cheap
    The Landrover cost me about £140 and the globe is now £226 !

    I recently started doing Lego again, but quickly ran out of space to store or build it so it's on hold unless I can move to a larger place.  Some of the cars are a bit dodgy but the square design of the Land Rover really suits a Lego build!

    Hi @Wibbles They are brilliant. I love lego unless I stand on it. Although do not build anymore. 

    Maybe they should produce lego made from soft rubber to allow people to stand on it without it being so painful ?

    Huge fan if it too, keeps the mind occupied although I’ve not had any for years so might buy some. Fantastic buildings too.

    One additional important piece of information
    The landrover is about 1:12 scale
    The earth is NOT - It is much much smaller !

    Lovely models :) they look great.

    I bet the Land Rover is more reliable than a real one.

    You'd need a big house to store a 1/12 scale earth!

    Just seen they've released a '69 Camaro that I quite like the look of.  If only I had the space!  (And £150 spare lol)

    Its a good 18inches long - took 2 weeks to build and the steering works and engine pistons go up and down too - it is a good pastime
    I will need an extension to keep them in - soon

    My son has been into Lego since we bought him Lego technics when he was 6, so all my fault! His biggest model is the Apollo Saturn V which I think is about 3 foot long. Got to love a Ferrari too!
    Due to the cost, he has been using Cobi instead for a couple of years, & has enjoyed building various models with this from a ship to a tank.

    those all look good @Wibbles, i'm not a collector of lego, i do collect star wars but not the lego, i'm glad as the sets are so expensive,

    @Wibbles they're totally awesome, I have seen those for sale and the prices and thought wow they're a bit pricey.
    My sons had loads, the Harry Potter one when the film first came out, still kept some of that but well used and mixed with others now. 
    I also remember catching them barefoot a few times.
