Becks the builder

I find myself in the interesting position of having something that David Beckham wants.  Now that got your attention, didn't it?  The something in question is a completed model of the Taj Mahal in Lego, since, as it happens, I have one, while Becks' version is only half completed.  Mine was given to me by a  friend, who built it from scratch as a gift; Becks bought the kit in Milan, as he explained to fans during an online Yahoo interview.  He was asked what he would like to do if he wasn't a footballer and said "I know it's not a career but I love doing it and would like to be a professional Lego builder".  Apparently he bought his Taj Mahal kit in Milan, got halfway through (and it is a big, complicated job) and then got injured, so he never finished it.  It seems that since his interview, sales of that model have rocketed; I wonder if the people buying it will get any further than he did?  Here is a picture of mine, below, in case any of you feel inspired to get building.
