meadowfield 2,570 #80 Posted February 16, 2014 Nice job mark I wish I could just imagine how you do those things let alone auctautly bring them to life I've been building from Lego Technic for 35 years, if it had wheels, gears and tracks I built it as a kid. As an adult it's great for prototyping, especially when it's expensive to order parts that 'might' work. If it works in Lego, then I can move onto cutting metal and spending money :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #92 Posted March 21, 2014 Managed to pick up a magnum 16 last night as an alternative to 'borrowing' the k series from my C-161. Very clean and tidy, high hours - from a Toro reel mower, but running and cheap.. 50 quid! It's still in the wheel well of my car. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #99 Posted March 28, 2014 I got distracted momentarily and did a piece at the rear. It's the bit to mount the rear fender on and give me a top link point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
