[CosmicCruncher]

So beyond the many Echo devices I saw this at £51 on Amazon and couldn't resist. It's hopefully on its way tomorrow

In case anyone else is temped - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07YYQ89RT/

That looks great did not know they did this one. Have got a few things in Lego myself like the Lego mini i was also thinking about adding lights to it as well. Would you being getting light for this as well it would look good on display

 

[CosmicCruncher]

Always fancied the Ferrari F40 kit, although a muscle car appeals to me more. Lights would be cool, could certainly weigh up the idea.

The Dodge Charger arrived . Will report back once I actually start assembly.

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the build.

cc, how long does it take to go from zero to 64-bit?

Depends on how hard you step on it, suspect it will be in 64 bits quite quickly.

Great looking model, have you built it yet or what!

Don't worry it will get built soon . I actually need to find a good spot for it once built where it will be safe from damage lol

Safe from the dogs especially, who might see it as an irresistible chew toy, lol.

That's exactly what happened with our Echo dot, one of the new round ones, far too toy shaped and irresistible when they managed to knock it on the floor. Suffice to say it sits on a higher shelf now despite being quite chewed .

I'm impressed, have just seen this on Amazon, guess it's a popular mod:

Have just spent the afternoon building my Dodge Charger, check it out below.

Unpacked ready to build.


Diff and rear axle starting to take shape.


Chassis construction begins.


Building more of the frame on to the chassis including the shaft to control the steering and the prop shaft underneath that.


Steering system now installed.


The V8 engine with moving pistons and crank shaft is now fitted.


Suspension installed.


Bodywork starting to take shape.


Front end taking shape. Unfortunately I'm missing two air intakes for the supercharger as the Lego kit was missing two of the required pieces. I have ordered the parts via the Lego website with their missing bricks option so will hopefully get those soon.


Doors and bonnet installed.


Roof and rear end bodywork now fitted.


The build is now complete!

It's a fair size, around 40cm long.

Fantastic build and a nicely put together log. Looks like a great model. Very cool.

That looks great you going to get some of them lights they do for some of them to put into it ?

 

[CosmicCruncher]

I might have a look at the lights, I think they would really make it pop.

 

[Retro]

It would look fantastic with lights.
