I really like the truck, and updating old sets to the modern standard is something that I've done a few times as well, so I find the idea very appealing. I do agree with lightningtiger that the karts look a bit too big compared to the truck, but the rest is great :) - as are all your other trucks. You're very good at building those!

Sorry for straying off-topic here, but there's a couple of things I need to answer :) The word for "duck" is "and" in Denmark and Norway, and "anka" in Sweden. "Anders" and "Kalle" are pretty regular first names, so it's just a case of Donald Duck being given different names when introduced to these two different countries. To make things a bit more confusing, guess what he's called in Norwegian? Donald Duck. Which leads me to... That is most definitely Norwegian. And as you can see, he's called Donald :) Yep, Norwegians, Danes and Swedes can read and understand each other's languages - after what I've heard, we Norwegians are the ones that understand their Nordic brothers and sisters better, and if that's the case it's probably because we were in union with Denmark for more than 400 years from 1380 to 1814 (often called the 400-year night) and then with Sweden from 1814 to 1905, before we were finally on our own. I have to add that the Danes have such a guttural language that they even have problems understanding each other, as this video clearly shows: NOTE: I have to admit that this is from a Norwegian TV show. But although it is a joke, there's a grain of truth to it :)

Interesting Nordic language fact for you, Gary: "And" means "duck" in Danish. So when it says "Anders And Corn Flakes" it's not the English word "and", it's the Danish word for duck. Donald Duck is called "Anders And" in Danish :)

This looks lovely - I must admit I think using too many masonry bricks can produce slightly boring results, but the architecture of your shed and the window style is very nice indeed. Still, I like the signal house even more, the dark green windows work very well there. I hope you'll keep expanding it - that way it'll end up as something truly special! :)

Very nice - I'm a big fan of the Wren-era architecture in London post-1666 and your church is immediately recognisable as one of those. I also think the spire is great, I wouldn't change a thing! A hole or two is always to be expected - the trick is to ignore those angles :)

I don't know how you do this. I love the cats you did earlier, but these are spectacular as well. The shaping is stunning! Well done.

I noticed your name on the exhibitor list, Vincent, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing your stuff up close! You know I've been a fan of your buildings for a long time, so it'll be so nice to have a closer look at them - and to put a face to the name :)

Another set of great buildings from you - although the exteriors are lovely, as always, this time it's the interiors that really stand out. There are some great details here, like the TV set and glass table. The blue chair on the ground floor is also very nice. And of course - the yellow van is great. Always nice to see new stuff from you :)

I'm going - for the first time - and will be there from Friday to Sunday along with Megan Rothrock to promote her LEGO Adventure Book (link is to the glowing review it received on TBB yesterday). It'll be the first chance to get hold of it in Europe, but we'll be bringing a limited number of books (it's all Megan could get hold of at this stage) so if anybody's planning on getting it, Friday is a good time. Looking forward to meeting a couple of you guys as well - and hopefully seeing a lot of great MOCs! I'll be bringing some of my cars that are in the book.

I like the wording of your post with the final pictures: "It is finished". Just that, nothing more. Is that how you feel as well, after building this? :D

Nice. For once, I'll actually be able to go to a LEGO store on a date when there's a special offer, so I'll make sure to pick up one of these!

Another little nudge, hopefully it won't be considered unnecessary bumping: I'm going to the LEGO Fanwelt in Cologne, Germany in two weeks. I'll have plenty of room in my suitcase going down there, so if you're interested in any of these sets and are going to Cologne, or know somebody who's going, I can bring the sets to Germany - that way you'll avoid shipping costs and any customs fees. I've updated the first post and the pictures in the second post with sold sets. The offer for discounts if you buy several sets, still applies.

Looks very good - particularly for a grey building. Very realistic - and the amount of detailing on the facade is just right. And by the way: Please don't stop adding stairs - that's part of the realism! :)

Another couple of great-looking vintage cars. While I've never seen any really bad builds from you, these days you just never disappoint. Keep it up!

My thoughts exactly. From a distance, it's nearly impossible to see that it's actually a mini modular and not a regular one.

This Friends hairpiece is quite similar: In my opinion, of all the Friends hairpieces, this is the one that looks best on a regular minifig.

Great to see this posted here. It was such a nice addition to the layout in Oslo, among all the green baseplates and all the grey train track :) Hopefully, the terrible memories of all those nasty kids trying to de-construct your setup haven't kept you up at night...

This looks just as good as your red sports car - and while it has its own distinctive style, it's still instantly recognisable as your work. Which is very well done.

I didn't realise you had posted this here as well as on Flickr - but I'll repeat my praise: It's one of the best minifig-scale hot rods I've seen. Great stuff!

Spectacular! Congratulations on finally finishing it. I'm also hoping for some great shots from the event :)

There are some great details here, most of which have already been mentioned. But I also really like the landscaping - the fact that you haven't just put it on a plain baseplate makes the whole thing look so much better.

So that was yours? I saw it in Skærbæk and was taken aback by the lovely brickwork. Great stuff, and looks even better now!

There's some wonderful shaping going on here. And SNOT all over the place. Very well done, an impressive little build!

PM sent.

I agree with F0NIX, these could just as easily have been Norwegian houses, so they strike a special note with us fellow Northerners, I think. The colour choices are great, and even though all the houses are similar they are still completely different. Lovely work!
