Updates (20)

One collection complete, more to go

 

Greetings all. I would like to wish all the readers out there a Happy New Year. The resolution I made for the new year is to complete as many models/kits as I can in the year and trying to get the Lego UCS R2-D2 and Slave 1.

 

There are a few updates which happened during my absence from the blog. Firstly, I have finally acquired all the PG sets. Not all are original but a complete collection is still a complete collection. Secondly, I was in a video vignette with Nikon over the weekends. It was a fun and new experience. Thirdly, I managed get my hands on the Decool UCS Batmobile. Saw it hanging in a local bookshop and I knew if I didn't get it, there won't be another chance.

 

I have also taken a few photos of some of my collections which was not reviewed in this blog:

Where's the stand? Find the stand !!

 

In the previous post, the engine block or the heart of the motorcycle has been completed so the only way to start this post is with the heart implant.

Another Decool set

 

I have been assembling a lot of Lego sets recently. Truth is Lego takes up less time to assemble and these past few months, I don't have enough time to complete even one small section of plamo. So I will be bringing out my Lego sets from storage and assembling them until I find time to get back to plamo.

 

Another brick set to be assembled and this time it is the Decool 3354 Motorcycle. This is the Decool version of the Lego Technic 8051. What is interesting is that the original Lego set has a 2-in-1 build function and this is the alternate build. Hmm...I wonder if I can build the original version.

Final leg of the journey

 

With most of the assembly completed in the previous post, there are a few more minor things to add-in to the Tumbler such as weapons and a couple of flaps, give it some wheels and it is ready for action.

The flaps on the top can be individually moved.

Seriously?? Here we go again...

 

Instead of slowly figuring out which pieces goes where in the previous post, I asked my most knowledgeable best friend, Mr. G., for help. He manage to get me the online instruction of this build from Lego Brick Instructions.

 

With the instructions on hand, I proceed to build the Tumbler layer cake.

Err...Where are the rest of the instructions?

Another brick set from Decool. This is the 7105 Batmobile set which is from the Lego 7888: The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise.

 

As with the other sets from Decool, this does not come complete with the ice-cream truck and Joker's henchman. The batmobile design is from Batman Begins trilogy. Somehow I prefer this design to the Decool 7111 Tumbler. This design makes the tumbler looks sportier.
