Got this for Christmas
Posted by Mrchntmarine on Monday, January 2, 2017 4:46 PM

So, first of all Happy New Year and I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas...  So, just wanted to share a gift or two that i got from my wife - a 1/35 scale Revel PT boat and the below Lego...  I think the box reads about 3000 pieces for the Lego!  Never done anything like it and the directions are like a book.  when i get into it, ill post some pics!

Those Technic lego stuff are neat! I've always wanted to get one for my son for Christmas but he didn't have an interest in it. Star Wars Lego is what he wanted. LOL!!

Okay !

   I got the picture . I have to let you know as an Registered ,  Official AFOL ( Adult Fan of LEGO ) and a member of the San Antonio LUG ( LEGO users Group ) that you have your hands full . I got the 4x4 Technic Pick-up Truck this year .

   You will be gritting your teeth and pulling your hair if you don't correctly interpret every diagram of every page of your builders book .THAT is one of the harder Technic Kits , Mine lists third in difficulty !

     Now , when done , you will look at it and wonder how they came up with it .The LEGO proffessional Builders in the main plant have trays full of parts and they get paid for coming up with EVERY ! LEGO set that comes out !

     Good Luck and Enjoy ! ! T.B.

So, finished the other day.  I have to say, I'm completely amazed at the engineering of these parts and how well they fit together and how they managed to design it.  4 total Phases and I took some pics in the beginning and mostly the ending...  I had a few parts left over after each Phase, but everything, as far as I could tell, works.  They say its not uncommon to have a few pieces left over.  Guess they havent mastered the piece count exactness yetBig Smile, I hope....
