Well now I'm disappointed

Given how they've implemented the hair on the side, they could have easily done his 2 hairs on the top of his head :lol:

It's an excellent set though - just the sort of thing I'd be interested in if I could afford Lego

I think it would be hard to do the hairs on his head because of the flip-top head; opening that is going to interfere with them because there's no way to mount them to the smooth openable dome.

This is from a Rebrickable design; I haven't modified it much. Bought the pieces on Bricklink and used some I already had in stock. The pricey thing was the Homer minifigure which was over £10 on its own; I did consider omitting that but thought it was quite an important part.

Oh the thrill of finding a big spoked wheel in someone's box of Lego back then, or a white technic axle.
I had the Renault and the Rolls Royce from that series. I actually left them built in my bedroom for years. They were hard to dust!
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Make up brushes are the way forward (from my own personal collection obviously) :lol:

Interestingly we've just had a quote for removals and we were recommended to move the lego collection in the car :)

I use old toothbrushes to remove dust from Lego - dusting with a make-up brush would work if you do it very regularly but it tends to stick to the Lego and needs something a bit stiffer to get it out from the crevices.

Have you agreed a sale and purchase now, @GG. ? Built Lego does not move nicely so I'd suggest getting some big plastic lidded storage containers.
