That looks pretty easy, couple axles and four tires.... and a few other pieces! Looks like fun and in the end only you will really know that it was a great challenge.
My kids love Lego, they each have a cabinet full of them. I was quite partial myself back in the day and I get jealous every time they get a new set.
This Saturday I'll carry on with the mailbox and tractor shed, unless it rains, in which case I'll climb under he house and put in some more insulation. Our children are on holiday as of a couple of hours ago, so on Sunday we'll pack them in the car and do a 250 mile reconnaissance run to Mahia and back, to see how close we can get to the Rocket Labs launch site out there. One day we'll head up there to watch a launch but this time it's a good excuse to show them a beach I used to go to when I was young, as well as giving me the chance to be shocked at how much it will have changed.
As a kid, I also had a box of Lego (the plural of Lego is still Lego btw) and an Erector Set. I had Lincoln Logs and some other think I remember with red connectors and blue rings. I liked the flexibility and freedom to design and build. While Lego still makes basic sets, the cars, buildings, and other sets are more like models with specific parts for a specific outcome. I can't take the pieces I have for the 911 and make a house.
So its just like any other model, but with a different medium to build with. There are 178 unique pieces, with between 1 and about 40 of any one type, plus 1 specific connector with 140 of it.
Side note - for anyone interested in Lego, there was a show on last year called Lego Masters. 8 or 10 episodes, teams, one gets eliminated each week. Some truly awesome things were built.
THANK YOU! Folks in the US are the only ones I've ever heard say "Legos", it gets me every time.
There was also Lego Masters Australia, and possibly other countries too, I've only seen the US and Aussie (another one: It's pronounced "Ozzie", not "Ossie") shows. Man there's some talented builders out there, the engineers always do well.
I was planning to start some detailing on the cars maybe take the S out but that's not happening with the snow. I could take the S out and do some donuts in the driveway in the snow.
Hoping to take the cover off the S2000 this weekend. More practice in the Z3 with my 15 y/o son who is learning to drive a manual-did really well last weekend. He told me last weekend during practice that he fits better in the C2S.
^^^Yes.. all three.. not a lot of time to drive them.
Nice.
My 15 year old grandson is bugging the heck out of me to give him this. Frankly I consider it too dangerous to even ride around his neighborhood but I will leave that up to his dad. The original engine was a small 2-cylinder and this lawn mower replacement engine is a 4-cylinder with 4 times the power and the bike only has one small rear brake and certainly not enough to stop it quickly. The tires are 47 years old and need replaced. To add air to the rear tire you must remove the rear axle, loosen the chain, remove the entire rear wheel and sprocket to put in 20 pounds. It was last done in 7 years ago. So I told him his first project before seeing if it runs is to fill the rear tire with air.
