Aeroplane



Well I’m going to take the vanity opportunity to post another of my creations here: an Antonov An-28 passenger plane as flown by Aeroflot. I’m pretty pleased with it. Can’t really think of much more to say so I’ll leave it there.

Photo Review of 7991 Garbage Truck

LEGO kindly sent Ambassadors an early copy of 7991 Garbage Truck (mine arrived yesterday), and Mark Sandlin has already posted detailed photos on Flickr:

Just out of town
