There is a tank, a space ship, a fire engine, a police car and a sports car.

To be honest, I think the fire engine I bought last week was better value for money, as all the models are tiny.

This is the police car.
I didn't wear blue gloves to build it.

I haz constructed it.
It took an hour and twenty minutes.

Little Fire car or something?

No. I'm going to have to use my imagination for that.
And I don't have an imagination.

Shame that my camera wouldn't focus properly.

I would love to get this for it but to do so you have to buy all the bricks from a site such as bricklink, and it is silly money....adds up to £100's Still, true fans do it!

Don't forget, you can buy imitation Lego bricks from Wilko for a fraction of the cost of real Lego bricks.

I have it on good authority that when it comes to bits for that launch tower there really is no substitute unfortunately. IF anyone is interested in this sort of stuff the "bricks in space" facebook site has loads of info, plans, and pdf brick lists which can be purchased from various sites. If you get interested in individual constructions be warned that the real LEGO is silly money as many of the bricks needed are generally not made any more. They are bringing out an official LEGO Space Shuttle soon which l hope is the same scale as the Saturn V, but I have also been told that it will cost over £200....out of my pocket. Release is later this year...we will see.
