It can be hard on the fingers. Do you ever watch the Lego Masters TV shows? Those guys build models with many thousands of parts in a few hours. Their fingers have to be sore after all that.
I do like the models with some mechanisms in them. I have a nice truck like that. For Xmas we got a bonsai Lego model. No moving parts in that, but it will be interesting.
I don't watch Lego Masters, I prefer to build Lego myself rather than. Watch other people build it.
I like Lego Technic sets the best although I have traditional Lego as well. I prefer the large sets as they take longer and are more challenging; I use the time to zone out and relax...but the fingers suffer.
Good luck with the bonsai, I've seen it and almost bought it one day, just didn't get around to it.
That show is inspiring and they all get quite emotional. It's people being creative.
I may get some other sets soon. I'll post up details of my builds.
It's the drama I don't like about those shows, the way they create it. If it was a bunch of people sitting around building Lego (without the manufactured drama) I'd probably watch it.
There's some cool Lego Libherr mining sets out there, big ones. That's what I want next.
