Anybody in to Lego?

nice tank you have set up! I had a lot of fish until last year, lot of fun to watch and see them learn and grow.

Thanks, we also have a 75 gallon tank with 2 Yellow Belly Sliders in it. They're both about 1.5 years old.

And this is my 1500-2000 gallon water feature pond/stream/waterfall, I built in the Spring of 2020. A few months later, I built the massive deck around it!

This is the time wood was scarce and the reason my boards were all different sizes... We went to 4 Lowe's/Home Depot's in town, trying to find lumbar... Side note, notice how the pond goes under the deck

We have 9 fish in it I believe? 4 large Koi, 2 smaller Koi (new additions), and 3 Fancy Goldfish (which aren't even Gold, LOL). It's come a long way in 2.5 years! It seems like we're always adding more plants or shrooms or something around it.

Yes, that's a real "retired" fire hydrant! They were going to throw it away, at work several years ago and I asked if I could have it and they yes! It sat in our backyard for years, until I decided to do this with it in late 2021!

Sorry to get side-tracked from the topic, but I just wanted to share

Wow, Jason! Very nice!

Wow, Jason! Very nice!

Thank you, Tracy! My wife told me years ago, when we met, that she's glad I'm not a drinker, smoker or stay/go out all the time kind of guy! I would honestly rather stay home and build something, than to go anywhere, ever!

I got my shelves up today, but it's still too dark for pics... And I put up 6 shelves:

1 - 1"x10"x8'
1 - 1"x10"x6'
3 - 1"x10"x4.5'
1 - 2"x6"x2'

And I still don't have enough room for my stuff, LOL! I'm going to order some 12" shelf brackets, as my Hoonitruck hangs off the 10" shelf, LOL! I also need some wider shelves for my Lego Millennium Falcon, Poe's X-Wing and The Mandalorian's Starfighter and whatever future Lego projects I mess up and buy, LOL!

I will take some pics in the morning, but be warned, yall are going to see some of my custom Transformers and Hot Wheels too!

As promised, pics of shelves installed, with Lego and Hot Wheels on them

Wife said I could put up some more shelves, so I might do that next weekend!

Started building the Hoonicorn Mustang last night. First bag took me about 2 hours. I finished it just about an hour ago, for a total build time of 15 hours on this one! Just like one of the reviewers on Amazon, something in the diffs/transmission is messed up and it will not roll.... It's not like I play with these things, they just sit static on my shelf, but I might see what the problem is later on....?

I think this Bag 4 or 5, as you can see, it's page 175, which is about half of the instruction booklet!

And here's the finished product:

Those turbos lol, so cool.

Those turbos lol, so cool.

The Mustang was much more difficult to build than the truck, even though, it took less time, not much less, something like 2-4 hours less, but parts of it were much different than the F-150 counterpart build! Like the black pipes that hold the turbos in place, those pipes were super tough to bend around the turbos on the Mustang! The pipes were much easier on the F-150 though.

The Mustang Hoonicorn has 2943 Pieces and is static, not an RC (Remote Control), like the Hoonitruck was, but you can buy the one that's RC. It looks a little narrower than the truck and maybe a little shorter length-wise and a hair shorter height-wise. I'll have to get some measurements later, if anyone's interested? I've also ordered the correct Bronze wheels and licensed stickers.

If anyone wants to buy/build one of these beasts, you can do it here:

how are the directions?

 

[Colo_Ranger]

I just bought the Mustang. I need a project at the house. The truck will come from my Christmas list.

 

[Mirage775]

how are the directions?

The Mustang directions were not great, but not bad either, but you definitely have to pay attention to what to use when and where. I was missing one tiny black piece in the Mustang kit, but traded it for another grey piece under the hood. The truck directions were much, much better though! The truck was missing 2 pieces, that I'm going to order from Bricklink.com.

Awesome! I hope you have some space, because these two beasts are huge!

So, this morning, I was out looking for supplies to decorate our newest 37 gallon aquarium, that we bought last night, and when I went into Target, to see if they had any Poly Resin, I walked by the toy/Lego isle and ended up leaving with all these

I didn't even know these existed until this morning, so I bought them all! Just did a quick search and there are 4 more sets, 2 Red Roses, 2 Sunflowers and 3 Tulips, and a Succulent cluster and I want them all!

My wife and I are into real flowers and stuff anyway, so this would look cool on the next shelf in our office!

This is all in our backyard! There's more, I just assumed yall didn't want to see anymore of it, LOL!
