LEGO Building, Jabba Is Out Of The Closet, Part 4

What a great set this is, the plethora of minifigures and ingenious ideas on how to make this set look the part are amazing. 

From the back when the build is finished, it looks like how you see it in the movie from a distance.

The set comes with Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna a Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in Boushh outfit, Chewbacca and B'omarr Monk.

As a set this gives great value for money, it is not a difficult build but it is a fun build with the trapdoor, the way the main door gets locked into position and the overall look of the whole thing, it really captures the feel of the movies' idea of the throne room.

Also here is the manual if you would need it at some stage, I thought it was a good idea to upload for future references.

LEGO Building, Ewoks Attack Wampa's in Y-Wings? Part 3

Ok, had some fun tonight building a few of the smaller sets, there is the Ewok Attack set with some great mini-figures and solutions to make this a set that not only looks really nice and finished but has some activities to it as well. 

Second up was the Wampa Cave, this set has two seperate themes to it, the cave and the speeder. There is room for a second pilot in the speeder but they did not include that:(

Last but not least the infamous Y-Wing, it has some nice mini-figures with it and the build is quite easy but fun enough to have it become quite the achievement for when you finish this set,

LEGO Building, Double Ups, Part 2

Two of the same set ? Yes, because I needed some extra guards for when the palace is going to be built. This set was fairly easy to build but it still amazed me with some of the solutions to difficult areas it provided.​ The shape of the skiff is actually quite well done and the little clear pads under it especially in the glass case make it look like it is actually floating.

The new Boba is probably the best version ever!
I cannot wait to have this set with Jabba's Palace properly set up in my cabinet and I will make sure to show you pics of when that happens :)

LEGO Building, From Small To Big Part 1

Finally my glass cabinet is finished and I can start building my other LEGO Star Wars sets that have been sitting in boxes for months.
The first ones are the smaller sets so, this one for example is a X-Wing pilot with Yavin 4 and a miniscale X-Wing fighter.

The second one we built was Bespin with a Lobot and a Twin-Pod Cloud Car

The third one Endor forest moon with an AT-ST and an AT-ST driver.

The builds on these are of course simple due to their size but they are quite brilliantly manufactured and the little information plate that comes with them really finishes them off.
Part 2 to follow soon with a build of the Wampa cave on Hoth and the Desert Skiff, then on to the slighty bigger Y-Wing

58.4Kg lost, now for the last 16.6

Another month is gone, another 6kg gone, it has slowed down of course but in combination with going to the gym, building up some muscle I am really happy with the result. I am getting to a stage where I am really starting to feel like counting down, I have gone from a 7XL size clothing to a 3XL and I feel better than ever. Sometimes something bad really turns into something great and I am happier for it :) Pretty proud of the fact that I have been able to do it with just the support of my family and friends rather than pills, potions and other remedies. If it works for other people.. great of course but I am happy just doing it the natural way. Anyway, here is to getting rid of those last pesky kg's lol

7.7Kgs destroyed permanently

Another month gone and another 7.7Kgs gotten rid of. Now at 146.3Kgs so that means I have about 36 to go. Hopefully I'll be able to do that in 4 months or so but I tell you what I feel so so much better than I used to. My diabetes is under control as well with an average blood count of 5.5 and I really have my hopes set to be able to get off the medications when I've reached the target weight, only time will tell of course but it'd be awesome if that could come through. Anyway enough for now.... See you next month!
