Got a Meccano set for my Bday :DD

To be fair, we don't have a meccano thread, so this could be it.

believe this belongs here...


Anyone else got any cool meccano?

No, it's the one construction toy that I never went for. I think I had a small kit when I was little but could never be bothered with the nuts and bolts. Lego was much more immediate.

Yeah, meccano was always too fiddly for me, and the models never really looked nice.

I'm a Lego man, baby!

Talking of Lego, have you seen that Technic Unimog? That is awesome right there!

Allways used to be a Lego man but since being introduced to Meccano I've changed my mind, it's not so limiting as Lego was. Anyway Lego now has too many model specific parts for my liking.
