Excellent work 6) 3 8) 2 9) 2

Thanks, you too.

Hi Steph77, May I be then first to say well done on your superb helicopter.. If that's your first published effort, I'm sure there's more to come.....

Hi Si-MOC, I did look at a small scale shuttle, except I couldn't get the fuel tanks/booster rockets into a 2 brick wide format (to fit through the door) . The shuttle on its own - no problem...Its, like 2.5 bricks wide was the smallest I could get to still resemble the shuttle stack. Thanks for the kind words.

2) - 3 Point 12)- 1 Point 41)- 1 Point 17)- 1 Point 45) - 1 Point Good luck everyone !! Reason for edit - missed off a vote....

I like the tailgate I would lower the body a bit to make the wheel/arches look closer. I also like the clear headlight , that has sold me I'm still not sure on the yellow though but it is closer than the lime...

I get where you're coming from and I agree the lime doesn't quite match the fluorescent yellow, but to my eye the Lego Yellow & Black make it more like a wasp/bee which doesn't look right either, now if we could only mix them together.... I would build it in yellow for comparison purposes, but the Slope 65 2 x 1 x 2(at the rear of the car) doesn't come in yellow...

All done, thanks.

Thanks for all the comments, I can't take all the praise, as my inspiration came from the range rover model in the Horsebox Set 7635. Whoever at TLG designed that did all the hard work... All I did was a little cosmetics, lower the suspension and give it a lick of paint.... Hi MetroiD, I know what you mean about the headlights, although the reasoning behind the yellow is it gives the impression they are on. As for the lighting bar, the orange 1x2s would look to flimsy and loose.. How about the 1x6 in white, any better....? Hi Rog, I dont think that Lego yellow is the right colour either as it seems to be the best for construction vehicles, the lime is the closest I could think of... Here's a little colour comparison between the Lime / Colour & Yellow / Colour. Police Fire Paramedics / Ambulance Highways Agency Traffic Officers cheers CB

This is my go at a (UK) Highways Agency Traffic Officer vehicle... Let me know what you think... for reference: ]

Lego Stig now has a go in a Highways Agency (UK) Traffic Officer Vehicle...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it... When I first came up with the idea, it was the flag & meatball that were the first things I had a go at - as they are only decorative, they are very much part of the building. When I was Googling reference images, especially the back, it was funny to see the VAB with just the flag on it or the other logo they used to have, it didn't seem quite right...

Thanks for the kind words Ash... the rocket was a last minute addition - cos its not really the building....

impressive... I'm definitely going to struggle with the voting now....

now that's one sweet ride...

Thanks Pie I went to the KSC in May 2008 and as there isn't any other structure near it, you don't get the sense of how big it is... Apparently, each stripe in the flag is wide enough for a bus...

I remember seeing a very large VAB at Billund, very impressive... The flag was the easist bit, it was the Nasa Meatball which was the problem, being circular Thanks, I wasn't intentionally going SNOT, its just the building is perfect for it... I know, some great work there It sounds daft, but I have my fav's I want to see win......

Rule 8 from the front page: All LEGO Minfigures including licensed minifigures such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Prince of Persia, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc; are allowed. I took that to mean at least one minifig should be used but not the S6 one that the scene relates to...

Thanks, much appreciated

exactly Trent. I live in East Northamptonshire and although the Milton Keynes store is closer, the PAB wall is smaller. I got the advance saver ticket (approx £10) day return to London and spent a good hour at the wall... As it was the 31/03/12 (the last date for the holiday boxes) it was a little busy - Plus the staff were great, showing the others how to maximise the packing...

Here's my entry for the comp - The Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) @ NASA Kennedy Space Centre. (Landmark Series) Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Built for the Apollo program, it was completed in 1966. The VAB is 526 feet (160.3 m) tall, 716 feet (218.2 m) long and 518 feet (157.9 m) wide. It covers 8 acres (3 ha), and encloses 129,428,000 cubic feet (3,665,000 m3) of space. image USGS

Thanks Biggie Yes its a standard visor 2447 in black. Stig is quite a cheap fig to make on BL....

Well the steam roller should flatten Gambon pretty well and the Tauntaun would take the hammerhead, due to its superior handling qualities... I don't think he'd do well in the 'copter - James May probably gave him flying lessons...

all comments welcome...
