I did mate, realy enjoyed watching it, but I find these Lego programes always overlook Technic Series Lego?
I like the brick builds they did, the toilet was my fave but I just wouldn't have the enthusiasum like I do with Technic Lego.
I think its because I'm more mechanically minded and can build machines!
The closest I've come to brick building is the Batman Tumbler, which I've just added to the trailer haha
The brick group I have named my truck build, they call it The Black Knight!
So... here's The Black Knight Low-loader hauling The Dark Knight Tumbler...

Awesome, properly love your commitment pal!
I got back from holiday a few days ago so will get cracking building some more...mind you last night, I was playing F1 2017 and the Mrs' said she wanted to build some of the model I'm building at the moment (Big Rig one...well...nothing is big when you consider the truck you built LOL!!!)
Once the Orion is turbo'd, I'm gonna order 3 Mini kits as I have now seen the Mini kit also being built into an F1 car!
Could I also big you to let me know what you build the car transporter out of? I remember you saying it was a scavenger or something? Any lego model number?

More White Porsche mods tonight as a few bigs been bugging me.
Already made the rear 2 studs wider.
Today made the spoiler 2 studs wider and 1 deeper also change end fin colours to white.
Bonnet mod too, made bonnet 2 studs wider to also fill more of the front gaps! Pics to show mods as hard to explain what I did.
Made sure my livery theme continued on the new added pieces too.

Yeh is nearly as long, the Porsche is 1/8 and the truck I'm guessing to be 1/10 so the Porsche looks to big when on the trailer sadly.
I've been messing lots again with Oorsche today, made the spoiler wings bigger and made the bonnet smoother and not meets the wings better.
Few other bits heres some more pics lol

My sons friend fell on my trailer today so also had to rebuild that lol
Was my dogs fault, lnocked him over, my dog is big but soft.
Tuck the opertunitu to show you the inside of the 5th wheel end!
The 5th wheel is commected by chain to a trigger power pack, this in turn powers to servo's underneith trailer which turns all 16 trailer wheels!
Also above the 5th wheel the are two more motors which are remote actibated to turn the switches inline the pneumatic functions for the trailer tail lifts and the trailer leg supports.
Theres a lot going on in the trailer that people dont see.

I wouldn't have a clue lol it tuck me 5 months of working through, some days I dodn't go near it and then others I was obsessed but also as I don't sleep a much at all I spent many nights on it too to keep my brain occupied.
It started when I saw a pic of it on Facebook, a good 18 months ago, I bought the instructions srraight away but was intimidated by them and once I'd got more experianced buildong Technic sets I was ready to have a go.
It's defo great for when you have nothing else to do as it keeps your brain ticking over.

Just got this X wing for my son. The only problem is the canopy. It didn't close, looks like the hing is not in the right place. Filed a little plastic off and now fits fine

Looks good that, did you enjoy making it?
If you like Star Ward Brick models search for Lepin kits, 100's of them!

Got it as a Christmas present for my son. But as they just come in a bag I thought I'd build it up then wrap it. £18 so a bit cheaper than Lego.
My son is after some of the old kits from Star Wars and with second hand ones being mega expensive the lepin stuff is the only way to get them.
Sand crawler next I hope
