So, how long did it take me to build it? Time will be measured in hours, as well as beer and cigarette breaks.

Originally posted by SunburntSorry, tomorrow. I was sad this morning not taking pictures as I went, but it would have taken much longer to finish. My son got a new camera, and he took a couple pictures. "Dad, move your hand".

"NO BOY! THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS"! So I do have a couple few 'in progress pictures'.
You're just going to need to trust me, so where is your guess?

This is a great gift but not "proper" Lego. Proper Lego comes in a box of random pieces with no pictures or instructions and relies completely on the playee to imagine and construct. I once built a miniature, but fully functioning replica of Windscale nuclear power station [scale 1:10,000] from a bucket of Lego.

(And yes, of course I agree about proper Lego. If it doesn't include a bunch of two-by-four-by-three's, it ain't Lego.)

Times change... When I was a kid my lego was all the lego I got left over from cousins.
