    I remeber a thread a while back about Legos, and not to long ago I came across this
    http://www.lego.com/eng/factory/design/
    Its a program that lets you build your own models, loads of different pieces and all that good stuff. Extremely easy to use, and if you really like your model you can actually buy it, comes with instructions and all that stuff
    Right now i'm making an M8 Greyhound :cool:

    I used to build all kids of things...untill I lost the parts to my greatist creation- an attack gyro (I couldn't find the right part I think...or I was bored)

    I gave up on the Greyhound, looks like crap. So I strated making a model of my house, and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 which is actually turning out quite good.
    Already about 280+ peices on the Mosin so far, which is basically just the stock and up towards the trigger.

    I can get the program to run on my computer. It take forever to load...at least I think its loading. Progress bar on a white background sound familier? I'll try taking the files to my grandparents and installing there, they've got a faster computer (and XP to boot! compared to my 98SE)
