I quite like the coffee table. If/when i get a falcon maybe i can convince my mrs (or just do it and hope its too heavy to move lol).

That looks really cool.

But £650 for lego, not even including the coffee table is too rich for my blood.

Investment justifies it.

Table cost me 300 to have made, it's glass top

I think that almost vertical falcon stand needs more height, if you look at it on the sideboard if it was raised an inch to give some clearance at the bottom it would look so much better.

Love that table McD. I’m now considering it for my sons room.

I want to know how strong is that glass top? can it take at least some kind of impact? I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally kicked or knee my coffee table.

Not something I am willing to test haha!! It seems pretty damn sturdy, but... it is glass!

posted in what you have purchased thread, but thought i'd share here - had a coffee table made:

That is awesome. I'd love to share this, but daren't or it'll be what my husband gets up to over the next 6 months. It's brilliant - well done.

I did this (not the whole lot) for millennium falcon.
Sometimes it would drive me insane trying to find the last piece of its kind when there are 1000 other pieces!

But makes the building process much more epic. It's the building I like anyway

Seeing that makes me feel itchy! I like to lay all the pieces out neatly and build from there

Depends . Takes a while to lay them out though

I always do it this way. I'm going for snowspeeder as my next kit (probs for fathers day) as that will be the next big kit that's going to go EOL.

Great looking model. One of my favs. But delicate as anything!

I just helped my son build the Technic Airport Rescue Vehicle and for practical reasons we built from the bags unsorted (I expected numbered bags like my daughter's' Harry Potter sets several year ago but nope).

We built at his pace, starting on the day he ended up being admitted to hospital for a few days (less than usual) and then doing an hour or so most days. I will have to post a few pics up when I sort them out.

We have started on his 6x6 Off-Road Tow Truck now and he decided would the Mack Anthem as his next set, so I ended up picking that up while it a decent price afterall. Those two sets will keep us busy until some new sets are released.

I moved house a few weeks ago, rebuilt most of my collection, now it’s time for my nemesis, words cannot describe how much I’m not looking forward to it.

Seeing how much Lego you must have assembled over the years can you not make some mods to make it more stable?
