Holiday time

This has to be one of the best LEGO models I have built in a long time.

This is not my own design. It is an official LEGO model, number 10220 (Brickset link here). The build is complex. There are parts at all kinds of angles, and some bits are somewhat fragile once they’re assembled. But it was a delight to build, and to see it all come together step by step.

It is instantly recognisable.

There are loads of lovely features on this model. The doors open, the roof lifts up, the engine hood at the back can be opened…

and inside, there’s a table with a suitably large wineglass, a sink, a really cramped shower room (just like the real thing), and those amazing curtains!IMG_0138s

Gear lever, gas pedal, brake pedal, dashboard … it’s all there.

All ready to go off on an adventure. Crank up the Beach Boys, and drive off into the sun…
