Greatest Batmobile build resumes: Bag 15.

On the bright side of the week’s madness, my grandfather was - and remains - enthralled by his Lego truck Christmas present.

Bag four / build complete.

Bag Three.

Bag two.

Bag One: in which I commence the assembly of our Christmas gift to my 94-year-old grandfather. Batmobile on hold.

In a happy confluence of interests, he loves both trucks and owning Legos of trucks (and making wooden display stands upon which to display his pre-assembled Legos of trucks) but can’t stand building them; I like to build them but lose all interest once they’re finished.

(He said he “already has some ideas” about the form his wooden display stand will take. )

And thus, the build begins.
