Only the toughest, most elite* of TLCB Elves is sent foraging in MOCpages nowadays. “Bonk, Smash, Thud” isn’t just the noise of MOCpages breaking again, it’s also the sound of malnourished Elves collapsing with hunger. It’s hard to find good Lego vehicles and get Smarties to eat when the site crashes for so long, so relatively regularly. MOCpages has been the spiritual Lego home for many top quality builders over many years. Sadly, more and more builders have become inactive there and fled to other websites. However, there are still gems to found on the ‘pages.
A case in point are the cars built by Rene Scheruebl. Rene’s latest vehicles are in the Lego Speed Champions, 6-wide scale. They include a Mercedes 190 Evo, an Audi 200 V8 and the BMW M3 Sport Evolution featured here. Building these cars must require very steady hands, as they all feature tiny decals and neatly painted stripes. Whilst the techniques might offend purists, the results are impressive and well worth a visit to Rene’s MOCpages account; if the website happens to be working…
*Fattest actually. The low chance of meal tokens is a good way to sneakily put them on a diet.
I actually thought of suggesting it, but I thought it wasn’t purist enough, anyway I like it! 😉
Glad you like it Marco. Once in a while we do broaden our horizons. The superb F-14 Tomcat that we featured recently had a custom blown canopy and paint. One could also argue that the pillars painted onto the black window bricks here are similar to the stickers on Lego’s Creator vehicles. This sort of thing will always provide fuel for debate!
Sorry, I got lost in ‘fuel’. I’ll keep in mind the custom parts.
