Hi

Thanks for the thoughts and feedback, all appreciated.

I put a couple of pictures on...

...one with lid on and one with lid-off.  This amount of lego in the
photo is probably about half of the total.

Currently pondering if kid-friendly and kid-dangerous are mutually
exclusive states, sort of feel like after 16 years of parenting I
should have figured this out already :)
Also would love to see a photo of the current SR2 lego city set-up :D

It's funny, but I have found that, for me at least, lego quite often
ends up being the quickest way to make a thing, but that's probably
skewed by having a shit load of it to hand.

Cheers
Andy

I’ve got the SR2 Office Lego City to play with and probably wouldn’t be interested in building anything for permanently sitting in the hackerspace.
