Lego 46 Model 42055 Part 6

This next section of the bucket wheel excavator is the main conveyor belt from the body to the truck. This was about an hour to build. So far total build time is 5.75 hours. I think I’m over half way now.

I think I’ll be sad once this has been finished. It really is quite therapeutic building this stuff.

Lego 49 Model 6346

This one marks a change as this is a model I bought from EBay from a charity. All money to good causes then. While I didn’t have all the pieces in this kit there was enough to make the orbiter.

This kit was released in 1993. It amazes me how basic it seems to be!
