A different kind of build...

Post by Mikewire »

Still VW related. Down in Denver we went into the Lego store in Park Meadows and I finally pulled the trigger on a project I have been wanting for a while:

The VW T1 Bus:

Whoa nice Mike. I got the Bus for Christmas from my wife. It is definitely a challenge. Took four of us all day New Years Eve to assemble. The guys did the subassemblies and the girls put the main assembly together. It was a blast though!

Awesome! Can't wait to have mine together. Of course most of the fun is actually putting each part together, so it's hard to be patient some times lol.

Haha, so true! It is so cool once it is done. I haven't had so much fun since I was playing with Legos as a kid.

Since then my wife and I have done two Harry Potter Lego castles too. She is a big fan of the books and movies, I am a big fan of toys and Legos so it works! haha...

Geez mike, I'm starting to believe you've got a building addiction. Not even a few days after the 6sp build your building something new!
Love it! :)
