Yep exactly that. Stood on a rogue piece left on the floor and oopsie!

Has anyone built the titanic . I’ve just started loving it but am worried it’s a size too far as I’ve not built anything remotely that big before . Also not just its size but how complex was it and were the instructions clear for someone whose not a master builder .

My nephew built it one weekend when I took his blind mm away on a cruise. That is relevant, as it meant she couldn't get annoyed with his dark muttering and wouldn't accidentally clear up any parts as she didn't know what they were.

I don't think it was actually that tricky, but the sheer size adds to the complexity IYKWIM. For example, connecting the different sections without breaking another bit off as you do so.

He stores that one and the Flying Scotsman in special Lego display cases. Have you factored in how much space it will take up as you build it? It's hard to clear it away for dinner.

Thankyou very much @Dearover. It’s good to know it might be a bit frustrating but not impossible . I think I’ll have to find somewhere for the build if it’s that big , maybe the barn as a summer build where I wouldn’t have to tidy it away all the time .

We got a bit carried away this Christmas. And got the new Star trek lego, its the biggest set we've ever had and we all had ago a building parts of it.

Loved doing this! Black Friday Sale.

I finished my Boutique Hotel yesterday. Now, for the terrifying task of moving it onto the shelf!

@Pumpkittenspice
That looks amazing!
I had the Botanical Garden for Christmas. It’s the one I have enjoyed building the most so far. I have had the Boutique Hotel for my birthday this week and can’t wait to start it.

The Botanical Garden set is my all-time favourite build. I hope you enjoyed it!

I really did. 😊

Just put away all the Xmas theme Lego and had a bit of a move round of displays - retired a few to spare bedroom, attic and cupboards
DP and I are part way through jazz club, DS and I are building sunflowers

Botanics

We have a lot more Lego than this!

It’s a good idea to put Lego away and switch Lego sets around at home, I’ve done the same. I’ve just sold 4 Lego sets on eBay 😀

@Somemothersdoavem well done! I’m not very good at parting with Lego - maybe one day

Do you sell with or without the boxes?

Away for a few days for DP birthday - we appear to have a few projects to go at - some were presents…..

Both, I have not kept some of the boxes but do now as people prefer the boxes and it ups the selling price

Yes! We did it over summer.. well it was mine but my 7 year old ended up doing a lof of the sections on his own 🤣 honestly he's better than me.. I had to get a huge shelf put up to display it, but I absolutely love it! It's about 130cm long

This kne is on my to buy list, it's gorgeous

@Midnightlove

Thankyou , I feel I might have to bite the bullet and give it a go .

Doing a few of the small kits this week

I’ve started the Japanese Cherry Blossom landscape, really enjoying building it so far, lovely colours
