MikeF Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Looks like I am the only one building at the moment - lol Tumbler progress now that the wheels have been added Quote
No More Monkeys Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Looks like I am the only one building at the moment - lolTumbler progress now that the wheels have been addedI am still building my 10179 MF - it's just so enormous that daily, or even weekly progress is hard to see (since I only spend about 1 hour every other day - that's probably why...)Page 162 of the manual - I guess I am half -way through? 1 Quote

More than likely - lol I have just finished bag 7 of the Tumbler, still got 8,9,10 and 11 to go If I stick to the one bag a night I will be done on Thursday evening. Really enjoying this build hence why I am taking my time to complete it Quote
Cross Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Tumbler complete. The first 90% is rock-solid and a true beast... the last 10% are all attractive details that fall off if you look at them. A warning to those with kids: display this one high. It is a true beauty, but doesn't take much to get "rattled". The kids and the Misses are having a blast with the Lego store's "pick a brick" addition of the brown horse. We have about forty of them... great fun for the kids to pop the mini-figs on. Holding a ToO for myself and a HH for my Wife as a Christmas gift for each of us. Quote

Nice one, Just added bag 8 to my build, not sure on the 2 angled pieces towards the back wheels, they don't look like they are positioned correctly to me Quote
feed Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Just finished my Tower Bridge, have to go in all in on this set, it Quote
Alpinemaps Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Finally have pretty much finished an 8097 Slave-1 that I picked up in a used lot a few months ago. I *swear* I inventoried this thing. But I've had to stop-restart so many times, I must have been out of my mind when I inventoried it. I'm still missing a couple of pieces before I can call it complete. At least I've got it assembled, and know what's missing, so I can do one last BL of the missing parts. 1 Quote
DFC01 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Started Ghostbusters Ecto1 yesterday with my gf. I haven't build any Lego in a long while (I'm jsut ocming back to this hobbie) so it's been a slow build. Quote

I actually just built mine as well and I gotta say it feels pretty weak and flimsy lol so I sold it almost right I built it since the ucs one is coming out 1 Quote
MikeF Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Built the final 3 bags of the Tumbler, really enjoyable build Now to find a good spot to display it Quote

Alpinemaps Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Built three of the four Bricktober sets over the last couple of days. I haven't built anything in awhile, and I haven't had a lot of time. These fit the bill for now. Quote
California92563 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I really should pick up a used one, just to build. I don't need to keep it. Just want to build it. You should get one! I absolutely love mine and it looks insanely awesome on display Quote

akohns Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Just finished the Seacow and now onto HH. Got them used on CL from an adult collector for a total of $280! What a steal! I can hardly justify spending this kind of money on sets for myself. They will both be resold for a profit but It's nice to be able to pick up a used set for a low enough price to build and then resell without losing any money. 2 Quote

MartinP Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Yesterday I built a 7939 Cargo Train that was in a bulk lot I bought over the summer. Fun build, and it works perfectly. 1 Quote
Migration Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 My "work" table almost always looks similar to this. I'm building 5 sets right now, not to mention another 7 or 8 waiting on parts from bricklink. 1 Quote

I'm building 5 sets right now, not to mention another 7 or 8 waiting on parts from bricklink.image.jpg I could never build that many sets at the same time. I always have to do one set at a time. But that does look similar to my workspace where I work on bulk lots. Quote
California92563 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I don't have any place to display it. I'm just fascinated with building it. Oh I know I was just saying because it's so epic to look at, it's one of those things that you'd have to consider keeping since lego doesn't make sets that are this size everyday. I would say it could be the main centerpiece for any lego Star Wars fan like the ucs millennium falcon is. It's my centerpiece anyways haha but yeah it's really long it takes up an entire shelf by itself. 1 Quote
California92563 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) And I do agree about the build being dull at times and it can be irritating as well since in the early stages it's very flimsy, But in the end it's definitely worth it since it stands out so much.

Achilles Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Man, I just built the Rocking Horse Polybag http://brickset.com/sets/40035-1/Rocking-Horse And let me say... It doesn't rock. Seems a major design flaw Quote
Alpinemaps Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Built the Bricktober Town Hall last night. Last of the four. Now they will go on my desk at work. Quote
