This reminds me of Romuald Hazoumè’s work, been meaning to make one of my own but never got round to it.

^ haha great!

Cutecumber…

Found this spooky fucker on a pipe I was repairing

Just bought this parrot and have repeatedly caught myself saying ‘ello ‘ello ‘ello as I build. Is this normal behaviour?

Gil’s great, ordered many sets from him.

Must be a tough life being a latch on a Volvo excavator

Exactly, the next big thing in downhill racing in the late nineties. Shimano sold a limited edition set to the public, but this one from ebay is the prototype version used on pro bikes, as stated in the ad very rare, I’ve never seen a set for sale before. I’ve owned the ‘regular’ set, definitely not the most efficient shifting system, but ball-achingly cool.

Completely unnecessary but

The cheese must have got out of bed on the wrong side this morning

.

I remember when they were just white or red for a few years and then when the third colour came out (can’t remember whether it was blue or yellow) it was the coolest thing ever. My brother of course got one before me.

Nice, didn’t realise they came in so many colours, looks like the blue one has emptied the spaceship’s minibar?

Welsh?

From the sublime to the ridiculous...
Hang on in there Enes grows on you, perfect material to veg-out on and be both amazed and disgusted by at the same time.

Isn’t it like bikes? Up to a certain cutoff you do get a noticeable increase in performance (happiness) for your money, exceeding that it’s just fairly unnecessary refinements that get increasingly meaningless.

Nice!
I can understand the environmental argument and the extra weight/cost of shipping for not including the instructions but no stickers is a bit of a cheap move, not easy to make them satisfactorily at home.

I’m on my first Lego advent calendar (at 50) picked it up half price a couple of days into December.
Recently got into Guardians of the galaxy, so this is perfect! Looking forward to the third one next year.

back playing bikes now

Love this, exactly what it's all about

Feels like a pure marketing exercise...
"But we need to differentiate our brand from everyone else's Aeroad copy"
A few brainstorms later with the design and marketing teams
"We've added a weird twist in the toptube and we'll just say it improves stiffness and aerodynamics"

Well it turned up today and works (listed as untested) :)
But the battery needs charging and I need a charger so I'll get back to you on the Scandinavian rally footage...

See what I did there?

First Tamiya (first proper RC car), my brother raced for years when he was young though, guess I'll be ringing him if it doesn't work...

Funny you should say that the strategy round here is “If all else fails hit it with a big fucking hammer” 9/10 times it works a treat, last resort is fire.

Haha I play with Volvo loaders each side of my lunch break

Brrrrr... omnichannel makes me shiver the crap buzzword to end crap buzzwords

Enjoyed this grass roots fun
