An alternative way to spend New Years' Eve

[Mike]

Saw so many people on Facebook over Christmas with the Lego Campervan, made me jealous, then my best mate went and bought one for him and his sister, made me even more jealous.

So yesterday, him and my wife bought us out little "project" to do New Years Eve for the evening:

It was on the windowsill this afternoon - now it's back on the table!!

Would be gutted if it broke when you move it lol. Impressive though.

You have to split it in three, the main tower centre section moves easily as one, then the two roads and supports at either end. How awesome it is, campervan is coming this weekend to be built too
