When I was a little fella I loved lego ... used to play with it all the time, build stuff following the instructions and then demolish it and make something up.

Well it's been about 16 years since I have even looked at Lego and my oldest son Lachie (5 years old) has been into it this year. So my interest was re-ignited and Buffy got me a little lego kit for my birthday, no idea how many pieces where in this, but it must have been hundreds if not thousands.

So anyway ... what do you do when you are home sick for a week ... build lego. The doors / bonnet / boot open & close, the pistons pump up and down when the wheels move ... the detail is amazing.

:D

... and this one gives you an idea how big it is, approx. 450mm long.

sweet as nick. my son is 5 next week and is into the lego too. he has a good collection of smaller ones but he wants a big one too. The only problem with these big kits is that i wouldnt let my kids play with them:lol:
