The set

Dear all,

Today the setting up for tomorrow (the first day of the actual Lego Show) and the AFOLCON sessions continued. Kevin and me put up some more banners, I assembled the children's play tables and monitored the sound system during the sessions.

There was however just one main event the grand unveiling of the one of the preview sets that had not yet been shown to the public in real-life and was built by me a couple of days ago. This means that I am finally allowed to tell you all which model I have been building. Now I know the you are all really curious as to what this model is so i will probably tell you in a minute. Would you like to guess first? Perhaps that is a good idea. By the way the weather is really interesting isn't it. Have you ever done a multilingual-coldfrontstudy? No neither have I. I could also tell you what the set is right now. Or I could tell you some extremely interesting facts about floors, the most significant and scientifically interesting of these being that there is absolutely no interesting facts about floors. Floors are boring, just like goldfish actually. This of course raises the philosophical question weather all floors are equal to goldfish. However easy it may be to raise this question, finding the answer is rather difficult: You just call the plumber and build a huge stack of bricks on top of it. A connected issue is the bending of birds by Benjamin Bubbins, about which I would like to say the following:


A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word

Now enough nonsense, enjoy the french cheese.

So when I built this set I first sorted all the part by color of which you see a photograph below. Not that I am usually this organized, I am just a bit weird (Internal voice: "ahahaha, a BIT?"(Internal Internal voice: "well you shouldn't say that on a blog you fool!"))

 Now dear OVER NINETHOUSAND little Lego bricks (actually 883 to be precise),
I order you to TRANSFORM!

Jup there it is, I am one of the few people on this planet to have already built a the new Lego Sopwith Camel, which will be on display at the Lego show. Two of the millions of reasons this set is "significantly awesome", is that first of all I already have the old historical plane series in my collection, The Kitty Hawk, Red Baron and the old Sopwith Camel.

One of the coolest features of the new Lego Sopwith Camel is that there is a fully operational control column. Which means that the control surfaces move as they do in a real plane if you put the stick forward/backward and/or from right to left. It was also revealed today that there will be a Lego Lord of the Rings video game and a mini Sopwith Camel. Yes you heard it correctly, there will be a Lego Lord of the Rings video game!!!!!!!!!


Below some more pictures of the Camel, just because ITS AWESOME........
