More likely a well-paid commission ...

But remind me not to get into a plane with these engines !

Can't wait to see that one in my 3 year olds monthly leg catalog.
As for too much time on their hands, it was built by rolls royce  engineering apprentices.

Lego has moved on in leaps and bounds in the last few years. 8)

The foot-high R2-D2 i just built is a fantastic kit ;D , and I am struggling with the two-foot Lego Technic car with the V8 engine. It is plastic engineering!

Ha Bloomin' ha! :smiley-laughing:

It takes energy, commitment and some very late nights to fit so much Lego, Airfix and railways in on top of my job and the pets (plus sick wife to worry about).  Currently sitting here working most of Sunday having had Saturday off.  I need one of those Timeturner things from Harry Potter! 8) ;D

Looking forward to an evening of Scalescenes, Hitchhiker's Guide, Lagavulin and NGF! All of which can be done at the same time!!! :thumbsup:
