Northwarks Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Ta-daa About 20 hours in total so depending on ho you look at it not bad value for money. Now to find some where to put it. The fit on those panels is appalling 1 Quote
6carjon Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I love lego and the caterham model looks great but the porsche panel fit and gaps could surely be better ? Is it just the pictures that dont do it justice. I just treated myself to the unimog before prices go mental Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I like the Porsche be interested to see it in the flesh; in the photos I've seen it looks fantastic, till the body goes on. At which point it seems to be neither one thing nor the other. It's not the traditional "all regular bricks, no special parts" type model, which you can forgive for being more of a suggestion of the original, than a faithful copy, it seems to have too many specialist bits for that. Yet if they were going to go to the trouble of making specialist bits, I wish they'd just dcided to do it properly and make more realistic, all be it Lego versions of the panels. As it is, the body seems neither one thing nor another. I guess if I didn't know the price, I'd probably not be irked by it. Still a great kit though. Funnily enough, I like the way they've done the Caterham way more, because of how nicely they've done the bodywork. 1 Quote

Stu Faulkner Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 The Porsche does look better in the flesh but it does have big gaps in the body. I like the Catreham though as its 'real' Lego. Just bricks mainly so it looks like a Lego Caterham, excactly what it says on the tin. Ordered the Caterham today, had to be done! Too right. teaser alert..... You KNOW you want one. 4 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Ooh, like that even more now! 2 Quote
Stu Faulkner Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 Its more old school Lego and its in good proportions. Shame its yellow. 2 Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Where does all this petty jealousy over the yellow cars stem from. 2 Quote
Stu Faulkner Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 Where does all this petty jealousy over the yellow cars stem from. 40 minutes to get a response. Not bad. I might have to buy another one and a can of paint. 1 Quote
Peter (Monty) Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I might have to buy another one and a can of paint. ... couldn't you just use dfferent-coloured bricks? Quote

Peter (Monty) Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 www.bricklink.com Takes a while to get used to the interface but you can make a wanted list (including colour), see the average prices, then find stores which have lots of the parts you need. Quote
