That is a terrible rendition of an SL63, although the G wagon looks ok

they are an improvement on the the one I have just completed…

I prefer yours. Also, red is faster :)

I remember lego when I was a kid. Not good for curves. Now I think you can make anything, there is a lego store in Leicester square, I was astonished looking in the window. I guess it's harmless fun, although I do worry about all the plastic it is creating.

Yes, it was all straight lines and 90 degree angles, good for flat roofed houses and walls, IIRC.

Some modern Lego is plant based and not plastic

I remember the boxes of Lego bricks we were bought for Birthdays and Xmas totally uninspiring whoever came up with the idea of basing the kits on things we see in every day life was a genius - you have to be impressed

We used something that is quite remarkable by today's standard - imagination! With that, an object could be anything you wanted.

I came from humble beginnings, was given a product called Betta builder instead of Lego, guess my parents couldn't afford the real deal :-(.

I do remember getting Mecano though where you could use spanners etc. Funny as I never lift one now.....
