LEGO builds for Adults

Nothing to be ashamed of. Just think of it as a second childhood. My study/office is full of Funkos and other collectables. We had to get the plumber in to have a look at the radiator in there and when he saw all the Funkos & models, he asked how old our children were. His face was a picture when I explained we didn't have any and that they were all mine :lol:

My gf will gleefully regale similar stories about my office.

I am always impressed when visiting @Albay3037 and he shows me is office/man cave, he shows me what chapter ideas he has written on post-it notes on his book ideas board and then what his latest little office merchandise he got since I last visited. I keep telling him he needs a life size T-800 or Dalek standing in a corner…. My sister-in-law’s eye rolling and looks of disapproval always worth, because she bites every time :lol:

Best thing in his office for me, is his Escape From New York framed movie poster :cool:
 
I have an obsessive s.i.l. who collects Lego shite and is also into Dr.Who memorabilia.
He’s from Liverpool and a Chartered Accountant. 🙄
Each to his own I suppose.

Some interesting bits on there like. The framework without the panelling looks nuts. Are those all stickers on the panels? That's one thing I'm not fond of on Lego like, all the bloody stickers.

I started the Batmobile yesterday when I was off work bad. That's ganna be some build that hower.

Could be worse; could work in an all-night garage for minimum wage and spend his money on Monster energy drinks, shite neck tattoos and vapes.

Yes stickers for each little panel. The engine took the most time with all the working little cogs and pistons. There was a bit missing from bag 4 so frustrating as I thought one of my workmates has nicked it while I was having a piss😂. I had to nick it from bag 5 andwas hoping it was just in the wrong bag

But luckily it was only needed it for the exhaust so had to improvise and use a smaller piece. Not sure I'll be able to tackle anything bigger at work as it might just push taking the piss

got no plans to sell it but if I did I have a million of those bits in the big Lego bag off the kids. Wish I kept all the kids ones built actually, honestly they must have had 100 sets between them and we've just built them once and dismantled. Off the top of me head they've had transformers, loads of Lego city, Jurassic world,teenage mutant ninja turtles etc etc. kept all the instructions and boxes like so someone could have a painful job of sorting
