Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that master of Porsches; Mr Malte Dorowski is back, fresh from his triumph at the MOCpages Mocie awards. He’s made us this to drool over:
The Elves never tire of the excellence of Malte’s creations, and we at TLCB towers make no apologies for including another of his Porsches; they are just so eye-poppingly good. Anyhow, it’s gotta be at least a week since the last one, so we were due…

Got milk?
Every so often a TLCB Elf returns to the office with something that makes us all stop. Normally it’s also something that warrants a disgusted outcry from the team and the Elf in question being thrown out by the ears. But not this time. This time the Elf earned itself dinner. Because this may be the finest, shiniest and awesomest truck we’ve featured yet. BricksonWheels MOC is the man behind it, and he’s surpassed even his own brilliant reputation with this incredible milk-transporting Kenworth K100. MOCpages is where you need to head…
You may have noticed a little sporting jamboree happening right now in London. So did Gabor Horvath. To celebrate, he’s blessed us with this 6 wide Routemaster Bus with full RC control cleverly packed into it, complete with highly entertaining video. It’s on Cuusoo too.

Lamborghini Fighting Bull
Check out this Raging Bull of a build courtesy of Dohoon Kim over on Flickr. The build looks seamless – the way those complicated Lamborghini lines flow is seriously impressive. Dohoon promises to post more photos of his Italian thoroughbred soon, but until then enjoy this teaser. The Elves can’t wait to see the rump on this!
Not pretty, but very clever
Another classic car from an axis power today; the stupendous Audi quattro Sport. Long before Audi became the preserve of outside-lane tailgating, bluetooth headset wearing cocks, they were a relatively niche manufacturer of dull saloon cars. Then they took a British idea (Google ‘Jensen FF’), applied it to their new coupe, took it rallying, and changed the automotive world.
Maks‘ Lego version is one of the last rally quattros, raced during the insane Group B era with a chunk cut out of the wheelbase to keep it competitive against a slew of new 4×4 rivals. View it and Maks’ other work on Flickr.
Datsun 510
Before Nissan were famous for Skylines and GTRs, they made stuff like this; the wonderful Datsun 510. Infraredbrick has recreated the Japanese pocket rocket, and added a few modifications too. Click his name to find out what they are…
Blacktron X-1 Space Fighter
*Not really. But if it were back it might look a little something like this. MOCpages’ Peter deYeule locked an X-Wing in a room with a 1980s Blacktron Spaceship, lit some candles and turned on some Barry White, and this is the result. His X-1 Space Fighter has all the sleek goodness of modern building, combined with the classic retro yellow-on-black paint-job from decades past. View more on MOCpages.
…Colin Chapman, that is, who had the bright idea of bunging half a helicopter blade upside down on one of his cars (fact) to see if his ‘downforce’ idea worked. The rest is history. Here’s the pioneering Lotus 49 in Gold Leaf colours, presented for your delectation by that master of studliness, MortalSwordsman.
The elves particularly liked the way you steer it, by twisting the driver’s head. Can’t think why…
