How about a what are you planning on building...

A thread with that title sounds like a great idea.

Although it might be necessary to merge it with the "collection/stockroom pics" thread at some point in the future.

911 built upside down which explains the pictures orientation. Box 1

Box 2 and again my apologies for the upside down photo which I have no idea how to correct.

Pay attention to which side you tend to flip your phone when you take the photo. Try flipping the other way.

The Notorious...!

Couldn't wait, pretty big size, and the suspension system is really cool!

A friend and I built these a few days ago out a lot of used Lego I picked up awhile back. I had a few new sets of both, I just have a hard time breaking the seals, so this worked great.

Built Buckingham Palace over the last few days. Pretty nice build. I am happy w/the final result but then again what do I know...I'm an American.

Yesterday was my daughter's 6th birthday. We built the Friends Amusement Park roller coaster set. I think it might be the best Friends set ever. Really a great deal for the price, with a ton of cool pieces. Lots of playability. The Ferris Wheel is well done and was easy to build (her brother helped her quite a bit). Great set based on the recent sale prices for sure!

Built our POTC Black Pearl (#4184) (supposed to represent the Mayflower) and used it in our Thanksgiving display. We also used the Creator Log Cabin (#5766) as well. I purchased some tan Imperial Flagship sails a few months ago on Brick Classifieds, and I still need to change out the sails (have to find it amongst all the other Lego we have). Not a fan of the black sails in this display. However, the overall display didn’t turn out too bad.

 

Also, I want to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all those in the BrickPicker community that have contributed and have been helpful each and every day. I enjoy reading the posts, opinions and deals found in these forums.

 

Have a good Thanksgiving.

Thanks again,

Kevin

Since one of my 21020 Trevi Fountains had a damaged box and Asda/George had no more stock, I decided to build it...

...it's quite a fiddly build for my fat fingers with so many tiny pieces but, I found is very rewarding and is a cute little set. Since this set is about to EOL, I should be able to recover funds if i decide to sell it. Also, I've seen the real thing in Rome - when it was covered in scaffolding with no water!

If you have a cheese-slope fetish, this has more than you need!

EDIT... Before some smartarse spots the missing 1x1 plate, I found it in the trash after throwing the bags away! The model is now complete and I'll try to find a way to backlight it.

I'll try to dig out a link or two I have from Reddit on how to backlight it. Hopefully I still have the links.

I finished this awhile ago but I was waiting for the stickers to arrive before posting.

I would like to give a big thank you to Thorsten for creating the instructions and Jaap Technic who made the wonderful stickers for me.   Of course the biggest appreciation and thanks go to the designers, Lox Lego and his brother Dugald.  Keep up the great work!

Bought and built this recently.  The tracks that came with it were pathetic, so I purchased 2 switch track kits and 3 flexible track sets.  Soooo much fun!  This will go under the Christmas tree.  Got the bug for trains, so I will pick up the high speed train and the heavy haul sets as well.

Upload it to youtube or flickr, then embed here.

Agree with everyone else tedious but worth it. Especially when building it sideways.

Ahhhhhhhh, I thought I could just upload it here.  Too much trouble for YouTube and Flickr.  Thanks!

Did you use glue or velcro to stick it to the wall?

Uploading as an attachment works and embeds into the post as a link. If I click on yours, the video loads into my main media player fine. An alternative could be to create an album in the site's Gallery, upload the movie there, then copy that page address and paste it into your post. The link now will go to the page and should play the video in the page similar to YouTube hopefully. I have not played around with the Gallery and video uploading much or lately though.

I built mine shortly before I went back to Rome in June. i was half tempted to take the set with me and get a photo of it in front of the real thing lol. 

While we were there they drained it and built a glass catwalk in the pool for a fashion show. Amazing fountain that strangely sits on the end of a completely nondescript building.

Much more enjoyable then Big Ben but smaller.
