I'm not sure what happened to this thread but I've gone and picked a winner. As per the original rules only posts up till Monday 6th Jan are valid. I used a random number generator to pick the winner, I captured the process just to show that it was random n valid.

The winner was post 103 which is Dacelonid, congrats.. pm on the way.

Sweet... Totally forgot about this. Was woken up by a notification on my phone and was giving out about forgetting to turn off notifications on the phone until I saw what it was for.
So thanks very much, really looking forward to putting this together with the kids

And here is the before and after
https://plus.google.com/photos/113941140896580608111/albums/6009489530186076033?authkey=COzUguf_0ITNDA

I haven't built anything in Lego in about 20 years, so it took a while.
Didn't have the required effect on the kids, they showed little interest in the building (but love the finished model), but the wife loved building it together. So much so that she is insisting that we go in and buy more

So thanks again unclerosco
