My new hobby

Post by andyi »

Hope it's okay to post this here.

As I mentioned in my post in classified the other week, i've not built any plastic models in a long time but I have been building something.

I rediscovered a love of Lego a couple of years ago when I saw the brother in law's 1:8 Porsche GT3.

That got me going on some technic cars and now I build Star Wars and Some cars in 1:8 mostly.

The F1 cars got their own shelf to make room in the attic. It's supposed to look like a rear wing.

The Pics seem to work best if you open them in another tab. google photo quirk I guess!

Thomas,

The 312T and Westlake eagle are the xingbao sets. I bought the real stickers direct from Luca.

The lotus 79, Brabham BT46B and Ferrari 640 are built from scratch using Luca's instructions which you can buy on rebrickable.
I did buy another 312T to use for donor parts and stripped down a real lego and chinese technic ferrari F1 for parts.
Rest of parts are from my stash or ordered on Bricklink.

The F2007 is an original lego set.
