@vex714: That's nothing. Not even then biggest set I've spent a whole day on.

Oh shit, I remember that set. And that I kinda wanted it. And that dinosaur set, which I finally got last year.

@Pink_Hat: Cool, I like that Dino set. The one I wished I had was the Clone Turbo Tank set (2006)

Tough to find an image of that heli. During my search, I was surprised the there were wikis and sites that still contained instructions for various sets.

@Pink_Hat: When I didn't have a Lego version of something, like a Droideka, I kept looking at the Lego Star Wars video game model and used pieces to create it.

It's pretty cool there's instructions for sets online, maybe even for the old castle sets.
