Stunning. For the second time this week I'm having to look really hard to see if what I'm seeing is really made from LEGO.

Great work so far, I really like the addition of the hut and the working barriers. I've not seen a build like this before so am looking forward to your next update.

Build Day 9 - Todays build time 3hrs 30mins / Total build time 27hrs 10mins Being back in my electric 'chair today means normal service(?) can return. It's been a good day, pretty much problem free with the exception of an assortment of parts and a sub assembly that made rapid, unscheduled departures from my lap tray for destinations South. A quick text to the house had my Darling Gilly winging her angel like way to the shed to round up them up. Once the parts were back on my lap tray (or the launch pad as Gilly now calls it ) they were affixed in position although I fitted one part in an entirely fantastical position which bore no resemblance whatsoever to that shown in the instructions. For reasons unknown I'd fixed it not only at the wrong end but just as bizarrly, on the wrong side. Anyway, aside from the oddly placed part, everything else went pretty well. I just didn't have time to fit the last sub assembly in place as building was halted by a particularly delicious roast chicken dinner . Just as well really, there's no telling where it might have ended up. Today's build pics Note: I've just noticed in the picture above that I've forgotten to insert the 2L axle with pin through the red 1x2 thin lift arms and into the white ones. I'll attend to it on my next build day.

469600!

Flippin' heck! And I thought our Outdoor Challenger, Supersonic, Race Buggy & Dirt Crushers were fast. Thank you rm8 for the informative video.

Welcome to Eurobricks Kakureon I'm sorry, I can't help you with your request but you've certainly come to the right place.

25000 parts . Are your BL orders delivered by container!?!?

Keep up the great work Edwin. You're on the homeward straight now

I'm pretty sure I've got that covered

Brilliant

Lime, black and fast. What's not to like.

Really nice truck tyre but the rim's outstanding. Great work

I've got nothing

Thank you. I like the challenge building presents. However many mistakes I may make, however difficult it might get the enjoyment of the build never diminishes.

Well there's something I didn't expect to read

Hmmmm, I think I've read that before somewhere Today's photo shows great detailing. She's coming on a treat.

I like the idea of one thick instruction book but in practice, for me anyway, I find that as I go further into the build I have a real job folding the viewed pages back far enough to stop them obscuring any call outs with the needed parts on the right hand page. I'll probably be using my iPad to finish the Claas.

Thank you very much. As I said earlier, normal service will be resumed by the next build day.

Enjoy it I most certainly will.

You're very kind. Thank you.

Thank you Bart. If the table was raised enough to get my electric 'chair under it'd be too high to build on as it'd need to clear the controller. I'm OK building on my lap tray really. Things just get a little difficult as the build gets bigger and overhangs the edges. The Claas is almost as long as the tray is wide already. Thankfully those edges are raised so (so far ) it's not gotten aquianted with the floor. As the last few builds have been large, having the parts on the lap tray as I build like I did with the Race Kart, Fire Plane etc., isn't really practical. I now sit sideways on to my table with the instructions and the parts (in a 22"x16"x1.6" plastic gravel tray) alongside eachother and 'shuttle' backwards & forwards between the them. I use a pair of 16" surgeons sponge forceps to help reach those parts I can't get. These are also a big help if I can't get parts together as the jaws are 'spade like' and close parallel to eachother. Granted it's not the best way to build but, all things considered, it works pretty well. It allows me to continue building and that's the main thing.

Welcome to Eurobricks Paul. I look forward to seeing how you build progresses.

I get so much pleasure from building my LEGO that although I may get disappointed by the lack of progress sometimes, building will never be anything but hugely enjoyable so there's no need to worry Edwin, normal service will be resumed by the next build day. As for my leg, it'll get sorted, it'll just take time.
