This was posted in the Echo Base thread, but I feel I should give it its own thread.

I had been displaying speeder bikes with various incarnations of my Hoth diorama, but I was really feeling the ones from various sets were no longer cutting the mustard, so I decided to build a better one. I modelled it very closely on the 74-Z speeder bike, as seen in Return of the Jedi, changing the colouring to white and making the pilot a cross between an Endor scout trooper and a snowtrooper.

Some of you might have noticed a pair of AT-ATs at the Naas Library show.

These were built by DaveNoCheese and I. The model was designed by an AFOL going by the name Roskolinov, and the parts list and instructions are downloadable from Rebrickable, here.

Dave messaged me a while back suggesting it for the Hoth diorama.

I put together a quick build last night...

Yes I know that's the wrong version of Lando, but until now I only had the Desert Skiff version, and that would just be too weird.

Shortly after the death of Carrie Fisher I began working on this mosaic of everyone's favourite princess. I think a few people saw work in progress pics at the February meeting but I am now ready to unveil it. It will be on display on the Saturday of the Naas exhibit.

It contains approximately 2000 bricks (bricks were stronger and heavier than plates!). If you can't make it out straight away squint a bit!

Let me know your thoughts.

Completed just in time for the Naas library event thanks to parts replenishment in LEGOLAND Gunzburg, its Little Mix. If you don't know who they are, ask your kids.

Hi, this time I had idea a long time but now I found time to buid it.

I was bored with my engine shed and with the awkward spacing of the tracks it was tricky to include in a layout.

When Daisy was changing her river to suit the new layout I thought it needed a heron:

The wings should be grey but I didn't have any - they're on order for its next outing
