Or we might get divorced over it.  

 

This would be me and my wife....good lord, it would be trouble.  Looks awesome!  Can't wait to see the final pics.

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.

Kids today with the modular building via split bags and instructions. 
 

in my day all the pieces were in one bag, if there was a bag at all. Let’s see how long it takes that kid to build that kit when all 7600 pieces are on the table to be rifled through.

My middle mullet and I built the one from 8 years? back....I think it cost around $150?  It was a great time, great memories.  The final pic is still the background on my phone.  He's 14 now,.

Enjoy it, it flies by, pun intended.

Maybe she finished it while you are gone 

No, he's talking about a lego set. Not the pool boy.

 

 

And if you don't build it all in one sitting you're a Nancy who pees sitting down.

I know, I was kidding. The more likely thing is that she wants to be helpful so she will have dumped out all the separate bags into one hulking pile so it’s ready to start.

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

Where does the 10lbs of Tannerite go for when you are done?

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.
