Here’s the latest addition to our Lego City. It’s a fuel bowser.
Lego 10 Model 60017
Here’s the latest addition to the Lego collection. A Lego City sports car and breakdown truck. All glued and lovely.
Breather
I’m slightly paranoid about electronic gear overheating. This might be down to a fear of setting my house (and street) on fire and relying on Jase to put it out but is also to do with breaking electronic kit.
Everything has an optimum operating temperature. Whether that’s me at about 36 or so Celsius or the sun running at a few million Celsius. Electronics are no different. Why do you think that stuff has fans and air circulation grates?
My amplifier has loads of grating over the top of the housing. This indicates that the contents are likely to get quite warm. The Blu-Ray player I bought has tiny feet and a solid base. Now, the only sensible arrangement for the kit is amp at the bottom, then the disc player and finally the Sky box.
All of these items have a fan or large vents. Why then do they stack so to leave very little room for air circulation? Granted, you don’t need a great deal of space to move air but you would think these things would be designed to fit with other electronic kit? No. They are designed to look good and functionality comes a close second! (See the original PS3 for cooling issues)l
So, rather than pay loads for spacers for my kit I used Duplo and Lego. It looks rubbish but adds a little colour and a certain something!

Uncle Jase will be proud. A fire truck from Lego City.
Lego 8 Model 4432
Here’s a rather cool rubbish truck from Lego City. Ran out of superglue! Have to rebuild it in a few days!
Angel
Here’s a picture of the guardian angel I have looing over my Christmas tree. We have a non-religious star at the top of the tree and this chap is standing to attention just below that. It’s nice to consider him overlooking the children and keeping an eye on them. Much like Obi-Wan in this comminication.
Lego 7 Model 4641
Here’s the speedboat I glued for #2 son. He’s not seen it yet. Probably show him in the morning. Loving Lego.
Toys of the Son Part 13
Today’s items of choice. A fire ladder truck, a Lego digger and a bouncy ball.
Lego 5 Model 5761
Number 1 got this for no particular reason. Possibly because he loves diggers – JCB yellow might be his favourite colour!
Lego 4 Model 5816
Made this for #1. He has given up dummies and posted them to Santa. When he had returned from the post box Santa had left him a Duplo set. Why the dummies had to go in an envelope when Santa was visiting anyway to drop the present off I don’t know! So here we have Mack, Lightning McQueen and the Sheriff from Cars. All superglued together as usual.
