    These were also for sale at bricklive over the weekend from Toys r us, I resisted as I wanted to order direct from the Lego store to get VIP points and the Xmas freebie

    that looks cracking, there will be many of this type of race car at Silverstone this weekend, they sound as good as they look
  3. Smartiepants
    perfect thank you
  4. Smartiepants
    that looks good thanks for sharing can I ask where you got the ghostbusters stickers for the sign from I have just started building this today, been buying bits for months now & finally making a start but still need to get them I started mine on a 48 x 48 plate so have room for a side road that I have added, it has increased the rick count by about 500 but think its worth it will post photos when done

    Asda have Ghostbusters Ecto for under £35 now, its gone from the Lego site

    I'm about half way with the bits & so far I have spent £270 (377 euros) so this is going to not be far short of £500 when finished & that was doing some cost saving on colours

    that is brilliant I may have some questions AFTER I have built the massive 5000+ HQ modular that I am slowly gathering parts for

    I have started buying bits for this build (5700 bits), no way on this earth is it going to come out under 400 eur on average my mixed orders on bricklink over the last two years have usually worked out at 10p a piece, I started last night ordered approx 800 bits,dark orange bricks using 2x1 rather than the impossibly expensive 4x1 bricks & 54+35 black windows along with there clear inserts, trying to get it all from UK suppliers to keep postage costs down & spent just shy of £100 total, black windows were the dearer option I know but if your gonna do it its got to be right so i'm looking at average cost of 12.5p per brick so far, a lot of the small 1s & 2s for the inside i will take from stock but this is going to get out of hand I can see may have to make a pick a brick +£50 order at Lego to rack up some double points this month

    i'll just leave this here http://artofthebrick...ebrick.co.uk/�� ok I know I got the thread title wrong

    As I have mentioned on another Lego forum this timed ticket session is daft, I am unable to buy an all day VIP ticket as they have all gone & three hours is too short a time for me to see all that I want but due to lack of info/website I purchased them yesterday, its going to take a good 15 mins to get everybody in & another 15 to get them out so that's a good half hour out of my precious 3 hours strange that you say the average visitor was only there for 3 hours at the last shows but there are plenty of these session tickets left while the all day ones have all gone, surely if people thought three hours would have been long enough & better value they would have been snapped up with the day long tickets taking longer to sell but this is not the case poor info & a feelling a bit conned

    its two bricks too wide for the Comp so I could lose the decking to the side but looking at the standard on here i'll not bother I like it as it is
  15. Smartiepants
    you say craftsman but he is working himself into a corner there a typical schoolboy error, joking aside this is very good
  16. Smartiepants
    I need to take some better photos but here is my effort, I think it's a fair bit bigger than the one made by the OP you can see the Camper behind
  17. Smartiepants
    no but there on my wanted list now thanks
  18. Smartiepants
    not sure where best to post this but I made this yesterday, pinched the wing idea from another one I found on a google image search be gentle its only my second MOC not perfect I know but I like it
  19. Smartiepants
    I suppose another question is do you keep what you have built or is the fun in the building & once worked out & done take it apart, all the bits I have done recently have been kept but I guess I will become limited with space & have to start dismantling bits
  20. Smartiepants
    never have given it a moments thought & always tried to colour co ordinate until i came across this the other day, I think it looks great & cheaper I guess as you can mix & match your stock rather than buy project specific parts
  21. Smartiepants
    on the various projects I have done & purchased the parts off both Bricklink & direct from the Lego store to complete the project the cost has always averaged out at 10p per part regardless of cost of individual bricks, this obviously includes postage costs, its strange the way it works out but I hope to cut costs now as I won approx 4kg of bits on eBay that will eventually save me money on future projects saying that i am new to creating MOC projects so not that "street wise" to buying parts
  22. Smartiepants
    not as cool as yours but I have had a go myself
  23. Smartiepants
    from memory stopped in my very early teens when music became my new love, started again when my wife brought me the camper van last year & have since spent a small fortune, i'm 50 this year so best part of 40 years
  24. Smartiepants
    got this little pile for £60 on eBay last night over 4kg gonna take some sorting love brick link but was costing me a fortune stuff was averaging out at about 10p a bit so i did a bit of bidding & won this lot, should keep me busy
  25. Smartiepants
    I picked up a "new" unopened Ferrari 2556 on eBay over the weekend & the builder in me wants to rip it open & put it together but the collector part of me want to keep it boxed & new, what a dilemma .... I'll end up building it I know LOL
