Look at what this guy's built - it's huge and it works.

I found it while looking for something completely different on google, but hey-ho.

I used to like lego, never made anything like this though

Have you kids not been to Legoland??!!

They have a Triumph Daytona (I think) in a cabinet which is lifesize and incredible. All the stuff there is quite fascinating if you are into Lego.

Oranoco

That's the one mate

Still itching to get hold of one of the new big yellow cranes, and both the JCB's - the old 1990 one and the newer one

Graceland

I had loads of Lego when I was a kid - all "Technic" aswell. My first one was the "Test Car" - a bit big for a first time model, but it was an awesome build

I tried launching it down the stairs to see if it stood upto its name of being tested - it broke into a few bits

I could spend hours and hours and hours pissing about with that stuff

Graceland

Oh momma

I used to LOVE lego. Absolutely awesome stuff.

MWF

The Model Team stuff was fookin ace.

There's a lot of Lego stuff on the net, there's even a trading site for bricks.

I was quite a Lego nerd, I was in the Lego Club, even had an article in the club mag. I was fortunate to get a tour of the Wrexham HQ when I was younger, cool place to work.

You can get some good 3D software off the net for free which allows you to build virtual models, I did this a few years back.
