LEGO River Steamboat

Lookin' great Jan. Any idea as to what the weight is?
Hey, sprinkle a little CA around and you would have a mega brick. :eek:
 
Just getting caught up Jan. We had our 22 mo. old great grandson, Charlie, for the weekend, so not time to get on the forum. It's good to be back at work so I can rest. ROTF

That's a beautiful build! We took Charlie to the mall Saturday to do a little clothes shopping for him. Well, there just happens to be a Lego store there...

You're a bad influence Jan. ROTF

You're not fooling us, Russ. Any Lego purchases for a 22 month old great grandson were really for the great grandpa ROTF...

That obvious, huh? Well, we do have him putting Duplo bricks together, so that's a good start!

In my defense, I had over 13,000 points burning a hole in my pocket (from purchases for the Admiral), so that knocked about $120 off the price of the paddle wheeler - so I, um - saved money! ROTF

Only the paddle wheeler. They only had one left - they were out of the Starship Enterprise and Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship - which is probably a good thing. I really need to get back to the Oseberg. So many fun projects and so little time. Sigh. Plus, when we have Charlie, there's no getting anything done! ROTF

Reminds me of one of my co-workers who produced a carton of 48 Bic lighters which he purchased from Sams Club telling me how much money he had saved. I told him I saved more buy NOT going to Sams Club.
 
What a great build. I love enthusiasm from everyone. Especially all the banter at the end about grandkids.
I'm building one as well. I decided to go with a light kit because when it's assembled you can't see all the interior work.

Wow, a lighted interior,, I would love to see that.
 
I'm glad to see other Lego enthusiasts here. I kind of feel like it's a guilty pleasure to hide from my wooden ship colleagues, but I have more Lego sets (and alt-Lego sets) than wooden ships in my stash. Just bought Minas Tirith.

I'll figure out how to include pics and include some. I haven't completed it yet but one problem I'm noticing is at the light comes through the seams between the bricks. Once I saw that I knew I had more work to do. I'm gonna have to figure out some sort of wallpaper or something to block the light but still make the interior space to look good sense you see it.
