New van for Xmas

I got a lego Aston Martin DB5 from my son, I'm waiting for him to arrive and help me assemble - role reversal from forty years ago!

That looks like a useful tin Ian

All you need is the Sargent upgrade Kit.

You will probably fit it with a solar panel and a split charger  

…..but not a lithium battery. 

We all know which is the most important nut don't we Ian!

I thought it was the one putting it together.

I had one of those about four years ago Ian.
It was one of the trickiest things I've ever had to assemble.
You certainly need spacial awareness to follow the instruction diagrams to make sure you've used the right bits in the correct place.

I made it slightly more difficult (and longer to assemble) as I had a new camera with the facility to collate the photos into a stop-go video, so was taking a photograph after each stage.
Thankfully, I've still got the video somewhere, so will just look at that rather than try and build it again. 

Have fun.

Lots of bits but easy to assemble. Not a great resemblance to the original DB5 that I did see 'perform live' sy the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in the '60's:

It’s the year for models because my daughter bought me a Rolife 3D puzzle of a Fokker Tri Plane. She knows I used to make lots of plastic models but this is different being made of wood.
So far it’s going well but it’s a bit delicate for my arthritic fingers. It clips together with care and I have only resorted to superglue once. I doubt it flying but it will make a nice shelf model.
Sorry no pictures, I havnt got to that bit of posting yet.
