There's a young guy at work, fresh from England, who has been making these over the past few weeks. It would be nice if I could get him some interest, even if it doesn't arrive at firm orders. At least it'll help him start establishing some roots here.

 

Don't be fooled by the simple look - they're an incredible amount of work (he's been doing nothing but sand primer for at least a week now). The spraying is going to something else - a mass of eddies and vortexes that'll really challenge the best painter.

 

I think he's made about twelve - some as bases for coffee tables and sidetables, some as toy boxes - but they'll probably be the first and last. I'm guessing around R4000 per box, but that's just a guestimate. If you're interested, send me a PM with some contact details (preferably email) and I'll pass them on to Courtney.

 

(Quietest chap I've ever met, I think. Incredibly detailed though, with an honours degree in furniture restoration. He was showing me some of the work he'd done towards his masters - tiny little marquetry triangles, perfectly made, with sides no longer than 1mm. Incredible.)

Oh Tumbles... the crawler crane is a marvel to build and play with... ENJOY!

 

It is indeed!

 

Started building on Saturday night. Could have finished it but I started getting a headache during the gearbox bits!

 

It's become my fave Technic* set!
