Attention

On sentry duty in the hot sun, in that wig!

Nice day for a drive

Taking the sportscar out for a spin on a sunny day, top down, wind in the hair motoring

Gone digging

Off to shift some bark for the playground!

I've been slimed

The toxic ooze from the lake was not pleasant.

I need help with my pussy

My cat is stuck in the tree, can anyone help?

Speedboat

Wizzing around the lake in a funky fast speedboat!

Cosmic Charger

Another of my rebuilt Classic Space sets from the 1980s. The Cosmic Charger comes complete with folding wings and adjustable laser guns!

The great British summer

Its almost June, its 9°C, raining and howling a gale. Bring on the summer!

Happy Birthday Mummy

Presents from Lily

Hard at work

Loading up after some gardening with the Unimog.

Drifting to earth

1000, 2000, 3000 PULL!

Bailing out

Strap a sheet to your back and jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane, I must be mad!

Road works

Mixing the cement to repair the patio.

Its gonna cost ya!

Sucking air in through his teeth, the mechanic gave the price.

Formula 1

Back in 1997 I was a massive Schumacher fan, so when LEGO decided to team up with Ferrari and Shell and make a model of his F310 I couldn't resist. Once built it was on the windowsill or the shelf and finally boxed up when I moved out. Fast forward 16 years and I found it again in the loft, stickers peeling away, any white bricks a nasty yellowy brown. A few shops on Bricklink and some cleaning later and its as good as new.

Stop clowning around

He's a laugh a minute this chap!

We have lift off

Flying round searching for a lake to land in.

Lets play ball

Baseball season is about to open

Which came first?

Still no answer to the age old question.

Not feeling my best

Poor old Hazmat guy wasn't having much luck with his suit.

Band members wanted

I need to find an Indian, a cowboy and a soldier to complete this group!

When in Rome

"The Roman Commander can’t wait to lead the legions of Rome to victory. He keeps his sword sharpened, his armor polished, and his helmet’s horsehair crest neatly brushed at all times, just waiting for his emperor to give the order to charge."

Tractor at work

Take the strain out of hauling gravel with this retro tractor with digger attachment.

Lets go carting

Another old school set from the 1980s, This funky little cart is ready for the track.

Unleash the paint

Sneaking around in the bushes, the paintballer waits to ambush the other team!

Out for a spin

The Police are out, patrolling the skies in their chopper.

Getting there

Over the last week or so, I've been restoring an old LEGO kit from the 1990s. A Shell Formula One Ferrari. The kit has been stripped down, knackered stickers removed, parts cleaned and any badly faded (all the white pieces) replaced along with a new sticker sheet. Slowly the orders from Bricklink and LEGOshop are coming in so its time for a sneak peek.

Happy Star Wars Day

May the Fourth be with you!

Run, run for you life!

Try as he might, he just wasn't able to out run the monster!

Rocket Sled

Another staple of every child of the 1980s Classic Space set up. Like the buggy, I had the parts to build several of these nippy little sleds.

I Spy

With my little eye, something beginning with L?
