So who’s enjoyed his presents more, you or him?Birthday presents. Up all night building Lego sets for my sons birthday today so it’s ready for him to play with this morning. He’s not that bothered about the building bit yet

the first one was pretty therapeutic to build. He’s definitely enjoying them though, I’m just trying my best to not look like I’m scared of him breaking it when playing with it

Big (but not expensive) car cleaning kit. Largely bought it because it comes with a bucket so I'm hoping it can be stored in it!
Eh? He should be breaking it! And building something else too, in fact he should have probably built the thing in the first place... that's half the fun and where a lot of the educational value comes from too.
Get him to break it and build whatever he wants tbh...

Bought for the bucket? The plastic thing in the background you can get for a couple of quid?

I mean as opposed to shopping around individually for the 6-7 parts of the set I actually need! Which would have included a bucket

Monitor Audio Bronze 2 bookshelf speakers in walnut.
Loads more bass and mid bass compared to the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1s they're replacing. They sound very good for £279.
I got the black version with a Marantz PM6005 on my desk and think they sound really good. I did have a bit of an issue with the bass being a little boomy, so placed them on some granite chopping boards with silicone feet and that cured it. Think the bass must have been amplified by the desk somehow...

Surely that's too small for you! Did you not think about buying a bigger one? Where's the engine and where is the space for the pool and bar?
WTF Phate!
PS - Get that photo in the rouges! you rogue!

Its just perspective distortion, this boat is the perfect size for me
I just sent my photo, have at it

This thing is going to be a bit of a weapon. It is a racing grade carbon fibre hull and I'll be fitting a 7bhp 15cc Nitro engine to it. Hoping for speeds of 50mph+

7 horses behind that?!
Crikey. My 14ft dingy only had a 10hp outboard (no launch fees), and that went well enough, lol.I know nothing about model boats but I bet that takes some delicate balancing.

Indeed, I am happy to do a build thread in November when I am likely coming to the UK and taking a week off work, can build it in that time. If anyone is interested7 horses behind that?!
I know nothing about model boats but I bet that takes some delicate balancing.
Balancing wise is not too bad. The supplier told me where the centre of gravity is, so you make a mark and position the equipment in the boat (it more or less goes in the same place with each boat/build anyway, a bit like a PC) and then fine tune it until its balancing on the COG. Mark the position and that is where you will fit the parts
The boat did come with a lot o the hardware to fit inside, but I thought it would be mostly lost on this forum, so I didn't share that.
Here is a similar but smaller boat of mine, its got a heavier fibreglass hull with a slightly less powerful engine and quickly accelerates to about 40-43mph (tested via GPS speedo) - they do not hang about! Just big boys toys
