It's not all that sad that I have not put the together yet. Well, one was bought because of speculation, it happens.

I really don't have time to put them together, I have real cars that are taken apart and need to be put back together. After that is done, maybe ill go build one of these again. It did take me a couple weeks, but I tried to drag it out a bit for the experience.

That’s always been my thing. I really enjoy putting it together, but then I don’t know why to do. Especially with something like that ship. Where the heck am I going to put a 4’ boat?

Had the holidays, deadlines, and an unexpected out of country family funeral in the way, but I just finished it last night. It was nice in a way to mindlessly turn off and put pieces together.

LOL to your question, struggling a bit in this modest NYC apt. I had it on the window sill but it blocked more light than I wanted, and I usually have a plant there that I want to keep alive. I raised the TV as high as it goes short of completely remounting in the drywall, and removed the stand mounts the ship came with.

It doesn't bother me because I barely watch TV (hence the tiny outdated TV and cartoons from childhood) but it could bother the few guests I occasionally have.

It's huge but I'm so glad I have it

The airplane arrived largely pre-built. I installed and configured all of the electronics. Top speed in level flight is 114 MPH and the highest recorded G-load so far is 5 G's. Not bad for an Electric Ducted Fan.

How does one even keep track of such a small aircraft at 114mph?!

Very carefully.

I’m restoring a Newport 12 Meter R/C sailboat now. It was a gift 40 years ago, and it has stayed with me along my travels. Now that I’m retired, I’m making repairs to the fiberglass, repainting, re-rigging and will replace the radio and service the winch. Had new sails made already. Will probably sail it once and put it away again, as there is no active club nearby.

Circles are to identify some rigging (Bowsies) I was looking for. She stands almost 7ft tall and nearly 6ft long.

I like remote controlled cars that look like the real thing. I've had a lot of fun (and so has my son) playing with this Traxxas Ford Raptor.

Was a Secret Santa Gift from 3 years ago. Finally put it together this Xmas break.

Nothing like having leftover parts. They put random spares... i.e. 3 headlight lenses for 2 headlights

I didn't realize Lego was even making one. I bought this one in July of 2021.

The kit is MOC-5779

I think they have licensing issues with the Countach name, so it's just called technical car.

This is where I got mine: https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/...35800638637820

You can get really nice wheels for them as well, but they are very expensive. I think $400 for the wheels, which was too rich for my blood.

My son makes some one off's. This is his M3.

He has made a Taycan and Rivian R1T too.

Looks like he used all the black pieces in his inventory replicating the grilles

Finished my Lego Technic BMW M1000RR last night. A lot of fun but man are my fingertips sore.
