FINISHED: LEVI’S & LIFE TIME GEAR’S BIPLANE SOPWITH CAMEL PROJECT

my son LEVI and me finished our next LEGO project: the SOPWITH CAMEL BIPLANE, a classic of aviation history, one of the most recognizable british single-seat biplanes. for us it was easy to stick the bricks and build it up compared to the V8 SUPERCAR from LEGO TECHNIC. the classic LEGOs are much easier in their complexity, but it was not so easy to put on all wires which have some real functions. the plane features a lot of details like a rotating propeller and engine cylinders, hinged tail rudder, functioning wing ailerons and tail flaps that can be controlled from the cockpit. it includes rare dark green, dark tan and metallic silver elements. the replica is 15″ long and a wingspan of over 19″. pics | LTG & theaircraft.net

LEVI’S & LIFE TIME GEAR’S V8 SUPER CAR PROJECT | BUILDING UP AN OWN MUSCLE CAR

meanwhile my son LEVI and me finished the 3rd big LEGO project. after the BULLY T1 and the SPACE SHUTTLE we built the LEGO TECHNIC V8 SUPER CAR with a MUSCLE CAR attitude. damn, this wasn’t so easy. LEGO TECHNIC is much more complicated in building than classic LEGO is. more than 1250 pieces had to be sticked together and a lot off them are moveable with special functions. so the SUPER CAR has a LEGO® POWER FUNCTION M-MOTOR and a #8881 POWER FUNCTIONS BATTERYBOX to open both doors, the hood and spoilers automatically. our little team did a perfect job: everything works without complications! today i ordered the next box: a vintage SOPWITH CAMEL double decker plane. and if this is finished we want to built a V8 HOT ROD – just change all bricks from the SUPER CAR … pics | LTG

FINISHED: LEVI’S & LIFE TIME GEAR’S VW BULLY T1 PROJECT

last weekend we finished the T1. we just needed about 6 hours altogether and my son LEVI and me had a lot of fun. this week we started our next LEGO project: the SPACE SHUTTLE. but we just built about 1 hour. the weather is too good to sit inside building big LEGO projects. our wish project would be a 1960 VW BEETLE – see below –, but this f***ing amazing thing costs about 500 euros. and this is damn much money for a LEGO kit. another project could be TOWER BRIDGE which is about 3.000 pieces, more than double the T1 has. i think we will wait till autumn for this giant LEGO building. we’ll see. pics | LTG, LEGO

LEVI’S & LIFE TIME GEAR’S VW BULLY T1 1962 PROJECT

last weekend my little LEVI and me started our first big LEGO project: the T1 VW BULLY from 1962. 1332 bricks and pieces have to be sticked together and LEVI is so genius in doing that. damn, this set is for guys over 16 and he is so fast with his 6 years. i am looking for the bricks and checking if he is doing wright. and he is always – wondering!!! after about 4 hours we did a break and i think half of the bricks are built. next weekend we will finish. this makes a lot of fun; i loved playing LEGO as a boy too. pics | LTG

THE ART OF AARON SAVAGE | BRICK THE LP.

there is nothing more to say: “a series of album covers recreated in LEGO.” i love this naive but really intelligent interpretations. and one of my absolute favorite toys as a boy where LEGO bricks. with my son LEVI, 6 years old, it is the same. he plays with a lot of bricks i played with. bricks that are about 40 years old: “LIFE TIME BRICKS” by LEGO … pics | AARON SAVAGE
