In this weeks adventures in LEGO building, it‘s the Bugatti! Ta dah🎉 Took us five nights to build, it‘s the biggest car we‘ve done, even bigger than the Porsche. Plus it‘s heavier & much sturdier than any other model, it‘s been machined well. Pretty impressive, no? #LegoOfLitsy #isolationinteractions

rockpools Loving seeing your Lego builds. I‘m so tempted... 5y
squirrelbrain Ooh I shall show this to my hubby - he‘ll be very impressed! He‘s building the Landrover currently. 5y
Lizpixie @RachelO you should start! It‘s been a lot of fun so far👍 @squirrelbrain the Landrover is my 2nd favourite after this one now. Tell him the Bugatti is sooo worth it!💙 5y
squirrelbrain I know which one to get him next then Liz! Thanks for the recommendation! 5y

In our 2nd LEGO build tonight, which took us 2hours🥳, we made a twin hull catamaran. Wish we had a full size version of this! #LegoOfLitsy

wanderinglynn Ooh, how fun! And I‘d like a real life sized one of those too. 👍🏻👍🏻 5y

In tonight‘s adventures in LEGO building, we managed two models. First up is this crane that was almost too tall to fit in the picture! We‘re running out of models to build, don‘t know what we‘ll do for the rest of quarantine.🤔 #LegoOfLitsy #isolationinteractions

eanderson I love it! I have some Star Wars sets I‘ve built. We also have some classic sets that I‘ve been building houses, restaurants and toy stores with 5y

In tonight‘s adventures in LEGO building, it‘s a remote control 4x4 Monster Truck! You use your phone or iPad to control it. The hubby is giggling like a 5yr old👦🏻 #LegoOfLitsy #isolationinteractions

In today‘s adventures in LEGO building, we built a crane! Obviously. Only took us 4.5hrs, nowhere near as long as the cars. I think we‘ll be having a break tomorrow night, all that hunching, turning & stretching is tough on a bad back, then we may do a 4x4 truck or the Knight Bus. Or even the Bugatti! #isolationinteractions #masterlegobuilder #LegoOfLitsy

Soubhiville Wow, that‘s very cool! 5y

Finished our 2nd LEGO project! It‘s a Land Rover Defender with roof rack, carry cases, ladder, winch & piston engine that moves. It‘s 23cm tall & 43cm long and took about 12hrs to put together. Next up we‘re doing a car carrier truck complete with cars to put in the trailer/carrier. What hobbies have you taken up in isolation? #isolationinteractions #legolove #quarantinehobbies

Behold the reason I haven‘t been reading.The hubby is a mad LEGO fan, his models take up as much space in the house as my books, to keep him sane during quarantine we bought a bunch of sets on special. This Mack Truck & shipping container is 82cms long & took us 15hrs to put together. We‘re currently almost finished a Land Rover(43cms long, 27cms high)& have a beautiful blue Bugatti & the Knight Bus waiting! #isolationinteractions #LegoOfLitsy

Nute I like everything about this post! I‘m a fellow huge LEGO fan!💕 5y
Onceuponatime How fun! I am a huge Lego fan and LOVE to build. Do you watch Lego Masters? What you need for this quarantine is the 7,000+ piece Hogwarts castle or the Millennium Falcon 😉 5y
Leftcoastzen Wow ! That‘s awesome! 5y

Lizpixie @Nute I find it so relaxing. We have a good system going, we dump each bag in a Tupperware container & I find the pieces while he puts them together @Onceuponatime the hubs loves LEGO Masters! He‘s also watched every documentary made about it. I so want both Hogwarts & the Falcon, the problem is where do you put them? They‘re both huge! I‘d love the Taj Mahal or London Bridge too @Leftcoastzen thank you! 5y
Eggs Amazing 😉😉😉 5y
JacqMac So fun! We are a Logo house, too. 5y

The new year brings new reading goals and Lego sets 🎉 I ordered this today and I can‘t wait for it to come so I can build it ( and listen to an audio book) and then to put it on my bookshelves #literarygoals

Lauram I LOVE building Lego sets. This one looks great! 5y

Didn't get any reading done today. Bf needs new clothes and we went shopping. He found the clothes he wanted and I bought this beauty. 😍😍😍😍

Wife My grandson can‘t wait to be “16+” like it says on the box, because he has his eye on this one! BTW he‘s only 4, or should I say “4+” LEGO 💙 7y
