What LEGO set did you build today?

How was building the technic 24 hour race car?  Was it as fun as it looks?  Display well?

When you've got used to the bag 1, bag 2 format of most lego, hunting through all the bags for a part seems frustrating now.  The actual build was fun though.  Fiddly at points and takes a while to realise what different pieces of the build are for but when it comes together its quite a clever build. 

It's quite an impressive size for the money too (£68 from German Amazon)

I'm waiting for Smyths to drop the price on the Technic Cargo Plane as I think that will be an even more impressive build especially with the power functions included in the set. 

As for displaying, it's very impressive to look at all the detailing and how it is built, but I'm really running out of room for displaying Lego.

The 24 Hour Racecar is low on functions but impressive beast to display, I agree. However:

Disclaimer:I realise this may make some here wish they had a chaise longue/fainting couch. Proceed at your own risk.

Needs more stickers (and the stabilisation fin to look like a proper LMP1 or recent closed cockpit LMP2). I bought off Bricklink some more relevant (e.g. Octan) decals and built the fin with mostly left-over parts.

The LMP1 designed by Nico71 looks much more accurate than the Lego model.  I think the bright green panels is what makes this an eye catcher.  I still have mine on display but it's days may be numbered.  I am currently working on 3 super car MOC's and waiting on instructions for another so something may have to go......

That's part of the reason I left the stickers off my build.  I think the ones provided would make the model look worse rather than finishing it off. 

I kind of like the generic nature of the car.  If it was to try to resemble a particular car or car class I think it's appeal would be lower, as you've pointed out, this way its open to modification.

Meant to upload these earlier...

70172, while this is a Ultra Agents set, the kids thought it was awesome.  Tons of playability and the fact that you can fit a minifig in the sharks mouth is sweet.  The crane that holds the cell is weak and the giant harpoon gun hanging off the small boat is comical, but still a fun set.IMG_2476.JPG

5x eBay bucks and I broke down and bought our first Indiana Jones set.  Came clean and with every piece in good shape, awesome set.  I want to pick up a couple more now.  Does anyone know if there are straight pieces of this smaller track?
