Other Pete J's thread of Lego building (last project: 76262 Captain America's Shield)

Yep. I use "Minifig Scan" on Android to check and keep track of current minis (it only dates back to series 25).
Over the weekend, it got me all of Series 26 (Space) and 9/12 of the D&D ones, without any duplicates.
Sadly, I couldn't find:-

• Dragonborn Paladin
• Mind Flayer
• Strahd

 

Now I blame the op of this thread for my pain and suffering, I had to install two new shelves in my daughters room the other day to satisfy her lego addiction because of me telling her about this thread.

 

I'm acutely aware that my Lego progress over the last few months has been very poor! This is down to:

• Warhammer 40K
• Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries
• Gardening (not out of choice, that one)

However, I have the coming week off, in which I hope to complete a little model I started eons ago, as well as an update on a few sets I've bought. Stay tuned.

 

Smol update - A couple of weeks ago, I found a local B&M Bargains with a totally unmolested D&D minifig display.
Missing 3 figures found within 5 minutes. Set now complete.
So, I bought some cheapo minifig display cases from the rainforest.

 

So, instead of doing Lego, I ended up playing Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries. All week. In some cases, for 16 hours straight.

 

Don't get Clans then

 

Currently building my birthday present from the family...

 

LEGO just announced another sailing ship.
This time it's Ernest Shackleton's "Endurance".

The GWP will be a matching lifeboat

 

So, after a few months lost to Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries and Warhammer 40K, I'm getting back to Lego!

First up, we have a mostly completed Chestburster that I bought the instructions for a LONG time ago:



Just waiting on a couple of missing bits to turn up - been weird using Bricklink again after all this time. I've also put the shelf up for it this weekend, as well as another shelf for another motorbike...

Secondly, R2D2:



Got C3PO too, so they'll go on a shelf together.

Don't worry, there's a LOT more in the pipeline. For example, I'm collecting bits for a modified McLaren P1...

 

Speaking of 3PO, there's at least one build out there where they've built without attaching the limbs and strapped it to the back of the same scale Chewbacca figure.
