 Model making - PeterS
A different kind of model, but my 7 year old nephew and I (and he did most of it) spent three days building a Lego model of the new LandRover Defender before Christmas. Almost 2,600 pieces, a working 4 speed gearbox, 6 cylinder engine with crankshaft and moving pistons, front, rear and centre diffs, working steering and suspension (including wishbones and dampers). Great fun, but hard on the fingers. And, like all real LandRovers, though it’s complete it does need some warranty work to rectify a few build issues that we couldn’t be bothered to fix as we went. It works, after all..it’s just that the bonnet and tailgate don’t shut properly, and the steerings a bit sticky!! That and we have a few bits left over. Spare parts I expect...
