Over the years I have lost many hours in construction, the most time consuming being a tie between Benny’s Space Ship and Kylo Ren’s Space Ship, both approx. 5-6 hours.
On both occasions I ended up in the late to early hours, drink taken, having promised it would be done by next morning.
I can verify, with authority, that Lego is a complete ****.
If indeed an inanimate object can be so.
