Rolls-Royce Lego Trent 1000

Not me, honest.

More likely a well-paid commission ...

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

there's part of me wants to rev that bad boy up and watch it self destruct

No need, just chuck a frozen chicken in to test it     

Ofcourse get one of those slow motion cameras to record it !

And there is me thinking they only came in Red and White bricks ! Oh forgot about the red wheels with grey rubber tyres. Okay here come the men in coats to take me back to the home.

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.

I know I'm get old (vintage '56) but apprentices must be starting at a very young age

Don't for get the blue 8's.

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

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

Ha Bloomin' ha!

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!

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

That is awesome 

Thanks for posting mate, the misses was particularly impressed as she will be dealing with the real things from next year
