Well, since @Anonymous put a spotlight on my one hobby that doesn't require electricity (with exception of the train tracks, which is for another post) and gets me hopping about (in excitement or pain)*, I've decided to start a little Lego topic here for us all to post photos of our creations - from the instructions or from our own minds... actually, thinking about it, perhaps we need to start a poster-exclusion list now - I've read the rumours thread, you know.
So, welcome to the Lego Topic - a place for the creative person in all of us to look, to enjoy, to share, to dribble over**, to contribute, to suggest, to.... something or other... just make sure you clean up after yourself.
More info
*I need to order some thick slippers for Christmas, I think. Or, you know, clean up after myself.
**Of course dribbling is allowed - this isn't a branch of Dixons, you know.

PS...that post above is in no way negative you understand....Just no idea how you do that. I was never any good at lego with my sons. Patience was never my forte you see...all my lego builds just came out wonky and fell over...
This is amazing @Daddydoink! How much space is that hobby taking though? I thought my scrapbooking and acrylic painting was intrusive enough...you must have a lot of space to have all the little houses built up...
One question...is that a man dressed as a sausage or am I dreaming???

He is - He's a Hotdog man, who undertakes promotional work for the cafe he's stood outside of. Glad you like it @Anonymous

No negative intent read, @Cleoriff. It didn't spring up overnight though - its taken a couple of months a bit of input from the children.
Couple more pics:
What a handsome Lego Photographer there

Betcha was good at Scalectrix tho' @Cleoriff with your love of & understanding of F1
I did like lego, so did my mum, btw I was useless at 'playing cars' & I am not known for my patience with much of anything
Great topic @Daddydoink
PS: only a short few years ago was 
in the toy shop window, Millennium Falcon, even asked my son, in his 20's if he'd like it for Christmas

I like Scalectrix too - and the trains, actually... that's another topic for me altogether though!
I'm very lucky that the children love the lego - although they want me to build up some more trains, which means I need to get some more bricks...!
@Toby - I use whatever bricks we have - I don't get into the brands and comic-inspired stuff, although I have been known to use the odd bits with the buildings we have. I like building things that the children want to play with though, as it tends to stand the test of time then.
Here's some pics of the old Lego table and a train we built:
the trains on lego run on electricity or are for display only? Interested as my dad in law is a big fan of miniatures and he'll probably ask
