Title: Built to reduce piles of lego
Post by: John on June 12, 2021, 08:56 pm
Using bits of instructions and a sheer volume of bricks ,I'm trying to tidy\build away the bags of lego stashed away everywhere ,so a copy nearly of a dog unit ,a squad car , a getaway car and a chopshop pick-up truck.

Crime doesn't pay and have you seen lego money ,gold bars and precious stones, and there isn't a lost and found in police stations so there's the budget!

60262 city airport seemed more 4+ than a city line airport. Or maybe a Ryanair regional copy! I felt it needed a beefing up so a departures/arrivals and upper waiting area with a tower that towers! I built the car and ground cart without using instructions just pictures\box art!

I'm considering the new road plates as they're overly 4wide friendly and i plan on crash landing on any that venture on or equipping all aircraft with  A.F.W. missiles( anti 4wide )

After finding a few more roller door parts it's time to get a fire station. My father was a part -time fireman (not making His station), loads of red but low 1x1 bricks to get to the tight places ,hence the burgandy(although I'm driven to drink for the volume of bricks here) .I've enough for two roller doors so I may extend some other time or maybe a copshop.I'm raising the floppy base plate to compensate for the new roads (for the city in my head!) as I don't see them going there again.it feels super solid to lift too!
