That is brilliant .... These sold out very quickly. And then reappeared at over double the money.

That Tower Bridge model is never to the same scale as the camper......is it?

Just don't start the camper engine, it's be a pity to see it melt and get on fire......LOL

The Tower Bridge model is blooming huge, about the size of a small dining room table. I would love to do one of those stop frame video jobs of her ladyship when she builds it. Should be a laugh watching her throw bits of lego at us when it gets hard

I was going to do a stop motion with the camper, but didn't find the time to do it in one hit

Have to dismantle it and go again I think

I want the pick-up recovery truck next

That was when it took skill and ingenuity to make stuff.

My favorite thing was to take the motor, and tracks, and wheels and try and build vehicles which could conqueror any terrain.

The VW camper is really cool and I'd love to get one and place on the bed of the recovery truck

My wife got me the recovery truck for Christmas and the instructions are so big that they were broken down into 3 separate manuals! It also took me about 11 hours to build it, would have been quicker but I got a bit drunk on Christmas night

Impressive to see but I would get so angry with it and probably launch it across the room.

I had a 1973 VW camper - last one that was tax exempt and stupidy sold it for £900 ! I didn't know its true value and wanted a car that was £900...
