If the image posts 🙄, I’ve spent the Easter weekend converting my Porsche 911 into a Lancia Stratos- instructions from rebrickable. Very clever rebuild although the instructions were somewhat challenging to follow at times. The engine hood was a nightmare! Very pleased with it though...
Bigdaddy - we need that image to post!!
That sounds amazing and very tempted to buy another Porsche 911 kit to make this.
You bought the $15 instructions I presume? I have never fancied putting my details into that website but its a Stratos
For all you Lego 'modellers' - does anyone have some generic Technic Lego going spare?

That's a privacy settings issue on Instagram.

Ok, got my teenager to sort that for me, let’s have another go!
Nope - apparently I cause a critical error. I regret I am an IT lemon!

That’s it... A mate bought the instructions and I was able to use them. It’s a tricky build, but very pleased with the outcome. Less so my ability to post pics 🙄
That looks real nice.
That Stratos looks ace - tempted to get the Porsche just to build that!!!
Just ordered the Defender off Wish for the boy
He's already done a porsche, but I'm tempted to buy another to do the stratos.
Have ordered the Top Gear Rally car and it's arrived, perfect for when I start 3 weeks furlough next week!
Looking forward to building it with the kids.
The rally car is cool, perfect for indoors as it isn't very quick.
I found a site called brick tanks which does lego(alike) armour. Resisting for now but severely tempted
The code HOBBY is giving 50% discount off anything on the Wish site.
It's too late for me, but it makes some of the Lego-ish stuff look even more ridiculously cheap.
What is the deal with the wish site? Makes you register

Just a more in your face version of AliExpress IMHO
About time they brought one of these out, 1st of May.

Surely it should be 4th May?
That’s minging, bank account safe until the next one is announced later in the year
Next one shoukd be the republic gunship, there was a vote earlier this year. Would have preferred the Nubulon B personally.
Been meaning to post this up here for a while. It's this alternative build of the 42054-1 CLAAS Xerion Tractor

There's a few criticisms of it in the comments, namely the wishbone suspension feels a bit fragile utilizing the bendiness of lego itself rather than any components specifically designed for suspension. A few problems with my build, the steering doesn't work and the motorised mechanism to raise/lower the cab also fails to work. Other than that, enjoyed building it, but think I prefer the original model.
edit: it's not wishbone suspension - knew I should have googled it before writing!
not really my cup of tea but there is a nice discount on the monster Star Destroyer @ JL

Top Gear Rally Car arrived a couple of weeks ago for Beamlet 2.0, not for me honest.
He built it and I was in charge of the application of the many, many stickers.
Oh now that looks nice......
Chain locks a little slack?
well this ticks a couple of geek boxes

Been waiting for this one to drop in price!! Love these little minifig-scale Speed Champion cars (way more than the bigger scale ones actually!), they've moved from 6 to 8 studs wide now so they're a little pricier than before but more detailed.

EDIT: they also have the new Nissan GT-R & Ferrari F8 at the same price (Ferrari on backorder though!)

I've seen ads today from Lego teasing a technic Lamborghini… Can't wait for that!
Bit sad that mini Bob is into Ninjago and builds them himself, no Dad required.
Thinking of treating myself to something with a lot of fiddly pieces he can help me with...
@bob_summers Have a look on HUKD or better still set up an alert - the best deals sell out quick! e.g. new Defender was £130 on Amazon yesterday, all gone now!!
The Ducati is stunning because of the lack of chunky bits but I am loving the Lambo too.
Must have been too long in blockdown.
@peterno51 haha just had the email from Lego for that, knew it wouldn't be long till it popped up on here 😂 Best looking technic car by far IMO, great colour as well!!
It's gorgeous!! Want want want! Oh yes, I have a birthday at the end of June.....
I’m not a fan of the Technic cars, but that is impressive and with almost 3700 pieces, it’s going to be very detailed and nice to build.
I don't like it. Which is a good thing as otherwise I'd be broke again.
just remember that it was not long after the Chiron was released, Lego did an offer knocking 20% off the price
Which means by christmas...
Yeah it was in November they did the offer on the Chiron.
Discover an overnight bag...
Take my money, take it now!!!
Mmmmmm it’s greeeeen…
Oof, that's nice.
Oof, that's expensive.
Like the box.
Love the holdall that fits in the ‘boot’.
