Not sure what this thread is about since it is so old and the link does not work. But, i am in the process of building a Lego model.
Here is the model: Sopwith Camel* | LEGO Shop
Now, i am a beginner with these Legos...only started building Legos probably a month ago for my kids. This one is my first BIG project for myself. I jumped from building Legos with 300 parts to this one with 883 parts!! 
Here are the pics. You can see the box and then with me finishing part of it (and the mess of parts in the background). I will finish it sometime this weekend and will post pics of it afterwards.

Never did a lot of Legos, but I used to really be into model building--plastic model kits of cars and trucks. Everything hand-painted down to the smallest details, tire letters painted white with tread scuffed up to look used, all glued (no snap-together kits), mixed and matched parts between kits, etc.. Great fun back in the day!

Me too! Mostly Monogram and some Testors kits. I hated AMT/ERTL (models were junk.....nothing ever fit). I would hand paint the interior and engine and even made engine wires. Anyway, 1989 and 1990, I won 3rd and 2nd place at a model mall contest. If remember serves, my 3rd place was a Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo (I made the HUD out of a 3rd brake light out of another kit) and my 2nd place was a 1990 Lexus LS400 (I used bare metal foil for the chrome area of the car, I guess the judges liked that....). It was great fun (patience too), but I haven't made anything in YEARS............ plus I have no room for all that crap. Which reminds me, I have most of them in my parents basement somewhere....... gotta dig them up one of these days.
I used to build legos back in the day (80s), but they really didn't have much as they do nowadays.

Yeah I remember before most of those specialty molded parts were available. You basically just had separate size and thickness blocks. I had tons of them and would make all kinds of cool stuff for my "fort".

Not a kid.
The nice thing about the above Lego set is the detailed instructions and amazing fit of each piece. Design is superb!
