My friend’s kid built the Death Star one a few years back. The instructions were in 3 large spiral bound notebooks. It was pretty insane.

My youngest son loves Legos.  He's built many of the big sets.  Usually knocks even the biggest ones out in a few hours, but he won't stop until he's done.

A nice rack, and she likes firearms, LEGO, and Star Wars?

She loves watching football also

I am very fortunate to have her.

Really cool that we are having fun putting together this thing and looking forward to starting back up next Friday. I'll send updated pics, but more than likely wont have her in them

You should slow down or you might finish before the end of the decade. 

Actually further along than expected. We are only doing it on Friday night and this is only the second time we have worked on it . About 6 hours in. Probably got about 20 hours to go

Right in the middle of that table, FOREVER. Or until the wife tells me to move it into the small back room out of the way

Anyone ever done the cost benefit analysis of old toys you destroyed as a kid with fire, bb guns, .22's and fireworks?  Had to be in the thousands over the years.  I once set off every last firecracker we had in the belly of my old Star wars AT-AT to simulate Luke's taking one out on Hoth.  It was a glorious fireball of acrid smoke and later burying the evidence to hide it from pops....

I used to take model airplanes and put model rockets in them.  Best one was an F16 painted like the Thunderbirds I sent horizontally down my street.  It flew 2-3 feet off the ground the whole way until the charge to send out the rocket parachute blew it apart from inside.  That would have made an awesome youtube video but cameras were still VHS at best back then. 

I was lucky it didn't hit someone's car sitting in the driveway.

I would build race cars out of k'nex made specifically to hold model rocket engines. Only made scorch marks from the ejection charge, however.
