I’m a big fan of the 1967 Mini Cooper S Rally that came in set 75894. So much so that I decided to make it again in grey (the don’t make two of the parts it needs in dark green, or it would have been that). But I wasn’t happy with how it looked, so here’s how I modified the design to make me feel more at home in my native Essex. Bring on the Essex Boy Cooper S!

LEGO Speed Champions Porsche 919 Hybrid Review

Welcome to my final review of the early 2018 Lego Speed Champions individual sets. Last and by no means least, we have the Porsche 919 hybrid. This is actually the second time it’s been featured, and was originally in the Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit Lane 75887 set that was released in 2016.

I went into this review with conflicted feelings. The last set I review was the Ford Mustang which was an exceptional set. Before that the Fiesta and Ferrari 488 GT3 were my first forays into Speed Champions land. Every one has been better than I expected or ever hoped so this has a lot to live up to, not least because it’s a slightly awkward looking car in the first place imo. So, I’m pleased to say that the Porsche 919 Hybrid has not disappointed me! So read on. [Read more…] about LEGO Speed Champions Porsche 919 Hybrid Review

So today I went down to my local shops to pickup some new sets. I’m trying to get a bit of variety in what I cover here, but more importantly have more variety for my new city! Of what I got two LEGO City sets that are soon to be discontinued I believe. Those the Airport Cargo Plane and Fishing Boat. They’re both sets I’d been looking at for a while and now they’re end of line I didn’t want to miss out on them! [Read more…] about New Stash of LEGO sets for March 2018

Here’s a fun little time lapse build of the LEGO Speed Champions Ford Fiesta M SPORT WRC 75885. I’ve tried to make it clear what parts have been used and how they come together. The car does drift a bit doing the shoot but it’s my second ever one so need some work.
