Books Are My Passion
On December 29th while Steph started her build of the Botanical Garden set I got her for Christmas I built the ‘Books Are My Passion’ set that came as the free gift. This was a quick but enjoyable build for me as I had some fun with making it my own after a enjoyable build.
Concorde – Elevons, Tail Fin & Split Rudder (20-21)
On November 23, 2024 I completed the build of my Concorde, which included building the elevons and tail fin with the split rudder as bag 20, pictured below.

Concorde – Fuselage and Front Landing Gear (5-9)
My building sessions were some sporadic evenings where I would build one bag an evening. Bag 5 was about building the structure around the landing gear ‘arms’ and starting to get the outside look going with the red striping and building upon the delta wing surrounding the mechanism as you can see in Bag 6
