Preferably bald.
Cat person.
Driver of large things, operator of high stuff.
I’m under no obligation to make sense to you.
I'm just a cat born in a human body who loves dragons. Nothing special.

Dutch guy. Driver of large equipment on a flatbed trailer. Major cat dad person. Lego fan. Wishes he could retire to a remote Swedish forest. Love ravens and dragons. No fan of people. Alone but not lonely. Major pacifist, care for the innocent, hate the elite.

In other news, my desk chair is falling apart and I am now sitting crooked, which is very uncomfortable, even if it’s only by a few centimetres. So I fear there’s an unplanned expense coming up. 😒

Classic car.
Build time ~7 hours.

On all levels the quality is noticeably lower than the original, but for a collector it is good enough, specially since these models are unique to the brand. I give it a 👍🏼.

I have this retro phone Lego set and thought I’d build it, but then noticed that it’s a 3-in-1 and I can have 4 retro phones spanning 3 decades if I build all options. So I ordered 2 more and will do just that. 😃

Ik snap echt niet wat het is met die André Hazes. Hij kon totaal niet zingen, had nul talent, geen enkel liedje is origineel, was n zuipschuit met losse handjes en niet bepaald een knappe vent. Waarom wordt ie als een god vereerd? Ik kan het in ieder geval niet aanhoren dus geluid uit. #Top2000

Mould King is a Chinese competitor for Lego with a serious mindset, they release mostly sets that Lego doesn’t have or rejected. This is the first full set I bought of them, looking good, let’s see how the build goes.

With the glue gun still hot, I thought I’d restore my pirate ship (LegoNotLego model so has it’s flaws) but that is more tangled up than I expected. Should do the Concorde light kits conversion but I’m a bit done fiddling. Maybe I’ll do a small or medium build for now.

Done. It is definitely an improvement of the set, as the light kits usually are. But #GameOfBricks really need to do some more R&D and consider an upgraded version in the future.

Hot glue and it’s accompanying gun are as much of a life saver as duct-tape and tie-wraps. But it shouldn’t really be needed for a Lego light kit. 🤨 It is rescuing this Enterprise mission though. I hope GameOfBricks does some more R&D for an updated version of their kit. (Yes, I will tell them.)

Well. It was finished. But then I started installing the #GameOfBricks light kit and that is an absolute total nightmare.

Almost 11 hours in, probably need most of tomorrow still as I am installing the light kit afterwards. But what then? I’ve got light kits for the Tower Bridge and Big Ben (and much more), but they’ll need restoration first. But also … —>

Dutchyland is experiencing some cold days. A few degrees below zero during the day, a bit more overnight. And immediately we have closed roads, closed tunnels, accidents, traffic jams even on Boxing Day. 🙄 I think that without global warming we would be stuck in a complete lock down by now. #FAIL

Funny how the same post can catch a surprising amount of momentum overnight on one platform (Mastodon this time) and not get a single like on the other (here). Just an observation, I’m fine both ways. 🤷🏻♂️😆

Build time 1 Xmas day, including a good number of hours fiddling the #GameOfBricks light kit in as I was building, takes more time but looks cleaner.

Around this time of year, I always think back on how I got in my car in the early morning of New Year’s Day 2013 to drive to Sweden, eventually staying 5 weeks before concluding that moving there was not an option yet. But it sparked the eventual move to Wales 10 months later. —>
