It’s that time of year again! Yes Christmassy snow might be falling here at TLCB* but the big news is that the amazing Henrik Hoexbroe has released his annual ‘Mega MOC’ for 2014!

Henrik’s past works have included a brilliant 1950s Town scene and an astonishing Citroen 2CV factory. This time though, he’s gone racing! (Making 2014 our favourite Mega MOC so far.)

Featuring 15 liveried racing cars, another 10 assorted racetrack vehicles and 100 mini-figures, Henrik has recreated the world famous Le Mans 24 Hour race in beautiful detail. He’s timed it well too, as Toyota have just wrapped up the 2014 World Endurance Championship (of which Le Mans is the star event).

Henrik’s pit-straight scene leaves out the championship winning Toyota TS040 and its mighty fellow LMP1 prototype racers in lieu of the more recognisable stuff that makes up the bulk of the Le Mans field; the GT Pro and GT Am classes, including cars from Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Chevrolet.

What we like best is that – whilst we do admire creations of incredible intricacy and fragile realism – Henrik’s scene is constructed in a robust mini-figure friendly way, and looks like it could happily survive a child’s hands without too much damage. And that, surely, is what LEGO is all about.

You can see more of Henrik’s fantastic Le Mans scene, including close ups of all the racing cars and other vehicles, on both MOCpages and Flickr. It’s well worth your click.
