Writing for The Lego Car Blog is mostly a happy thing. Occasionally however, it isn’t, and with much sadness this is one of those times.

Multiple bloggee, TLCB Master MOCer, and one of the most talented vehicle builders anywhere in the world, has placed his last piece.

Famed for his spectacular historic Formula 1 cars, Luca Rusconi, aka RoscoPC, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident just outside of his hometown Milan. Aged 54, he leaves behind his wife, three children, and a Lego Community that will miss him terribly.

His incredible Lego work remains on Flickr, his website, and via archives such as our own, and we encourage you to take a look – we have no doubt it will forever be amongst the finest ever built.
