The Best LEGO Cars on the Web! | LEGO News, Reviews & MOCs | Cars, Trucks, Sci-Fi, Aircraft & More
Submission Guidelines
The Lego Car Blog Elves’ continual search to find the best LEGO vehicles on the internet has yielded some brilliant creations. But have you ever wondered how they choose what to bring back? Here are the guidelines they follow:
The ‘L’ is for ‘LEGO’: Perhaps a little obvious but the lines do get blurred with clone blands (e.g. Mega Bloks) and LDD. To stand the best chance of seeing a creation appear on The Lego Car Blog it’s best to use LEGO pieces only. Whilst we have occasionally blogged a digital creation, it’s fairly rare for us to do so. The Elves aren’t really interested in a creation unless they can climb on it.
And the ‘C’ is for ‘Car’:The Lego Car Blog was set up in response to the disinterest of the established blogs in featuring LEGO vehicles. This means that we do have a car bias, but we’ll also publicise other vehicle-related creations, such as trucks, ships, sci-fi and motorcycles. If you’ve made a castle though… probably not.
Quality Control: The Elves are under strict instructions to return only high quality work, we like to blog the best! Take your time and do your research.
Pictures say a thousand words: So take yours well. Clean, contrasting backgroundsare easy to doand make a world of difference. Even the most impressive of creations will not feature on The Lego Car Blog unless the pictures are in focus, well lit and exclude any clutter from shot. These simple steps will make you look like a pro!
Don’t be a pirate: We endeavour to blog original creations only. Recreations will not be accepted. And they make the Elves cry. Similarly, creations by builders who trade ‘Likes’, request high ratings, blatantly self-promote their creations, or otherwise engage in general community douchebaggery are unlikely to be considered.
Fresh Fruit:Here at the Lego Car Blog our aim is publicise new creations (typically those under a week old). This ensures that we bring readers the freshest and most interesting creations on the ‘net.
That’s it! Easy huh? If you’ve found a creation that meets all of the above requirements you can suggest it to us via the Feedback and Submission Suggestions page. Please note that we encourage suggestions of other people’s creations – not your own!
Hello!
A good friend of mine named Mikey McBryan up in Yellowknife Canada works for a company called Buffalo Airways. This company is also the basis for the show Ice Pilots. Mikey is trying to get their iconic airplane, the Douglas DC-3, made into a LEGO model. Its a great project that showcases a revolutionary aircraft from the 1930’s thats still flying up in Northern Canada. It would mean so much to us if this project could be featured on your blog! http://www.godc3.com
Thank you for your time,
Katie O’Neil
Thanks for stopping by. We’d love to feature this model. However, we only post ‘new’ (i.e under a week or two old) photos here, so… if Mikey has a few new pictures (or could take a few more) we’ll happily blog them, just let us know!
HI,
I’m from Brazil, and I have made a usefull and small Humvee as you can see on http://www.flickr.com/photos/guilhermelimait/12110218915/.
I really appreciate if you could give me your oppinion about it.
Thank you and keep building! 😀
Hi guys, just like to recommend my friend’s garage works… he has a lot of cool cars here and i hope that you could take a peek sometimes… http://Www.flickr.com/photos/123865130@N05
Thanks a lot!
We’re don’t tend to publicise submissions on LEGO Ideas (unless we were blogging the creation anyway) as we do get lots of requests.
However, we have ‘Followed’ your suggested builder on Flickr as their work looks to be close to the quality that we blog here : ) We’ll watch them for future builds.
Your suggested builder is not quite at our required standard yet but we are watching them.
However, they do keep adding their creations to the ‘Blogged by TLCB’ Flickr group, when they haven’t been blogged. This is not a way to get blogged, but it is a way to annoy us. We may have to resort to a ban…
Hi, I’d like to suggest a friend of mines amazing Hot Rod, this is a very recent build of his and it looks excellent! I would love to see it on this site! Keep up the great work!
The first builder has featured here a few times recently so we’re skipping this upload by them.
The second doesn’t quite meet the standard of photography required, however both are good suggestions so keep us informed if you find other creations that you think would be suitable.
Maybe. We enjoyed doing the Master MOCer Series and the interviews seemed to get a good reaction from our readers, so adding further interviewees to the current list is something we’re considering for future content.
*rubs hands together* Sounds great! To add someone to the list, I think you need to squeeze an interview out of Harry Gravett. I talk to him a lot, and he’s a great guy, always happy to give you his honest opinion and loves his cars although his hasn’t got a lot free time at the moment. But if he can somehow miraculously free up some time, pounce on him! He has a new creation out too – how’s that for timing? 😀
Can you put my Land Rover series 1 on your page because it’s a really good moc and it’s a proper British vehicle it’s probably the only one in its proper colour of green please put it on your page.
Nope, it’s in the queue (we were waiting for good pictures) and will appear soon.
Please don’t request your own builds though. Your model will be blogged because it’s already planned, but normally a self request means that we exclude that model from appearing here.
Pascal Lenhard (I think he’s a certified builder in France – not sure) built two impressively large Ford GT models in 1/3 scale which were displayed at the Le Mans 24H last weekend; a 2016 race car, which won it’s class this year, and a much cooler 1966 model, which won it overall that year.
Hello TLCB, I just built a new LEGO Porsche Targa 4S and I would like if you could post it to get support on LEGO Ideas, after all, a lot of people visit this page right? Link: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/430374
You’ve posted your comment on our Submission Guidelines page. Please read these, as they detail the submission suggestions we can accept, and those we can’t.
How to submit? My computer doesn’t have a big enough space to upload pictures I took, so is there another way to submit, even without your camera memory chip?
I have been following your blog for quite some time now and really like what you are doing. Very nice and well-written articles. Thanks for all your effort.
Unfortunately we cannot accept self requests for LEGO Ideas projects as we get *loads* of these – sorry. However we do very much like your build. If it were uploaded to Flickr / MOCpages / Brickshelf etc and we were to find it there is a good chance it would be blogged.
We do not accept self requests, however if you add us on Flickr we will be able to see your model easily. We can also recommend uploading your creations to MOCpages, Brickshelf or Eurobricks; each has a good community and our Elves will probably find you : )
This 911 RSR is amazing,

I’m unsure if the model shown in Flickr is digital or just photographed very nicely so here’s another link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2140p1H8BA8
We like the way you think! So much so this model (plus a few other variants) has appeared here before. As such we won’t be re-blogging it, but you can check out past appearances below;

Thanks for your suggestion. This build is definitely of bloggable quality, both the model itself and the presentation.
However it was uploaded several months ago, so unfortunately it’s too old for us to post here.
We will look out for future creations from this builder though, as their work is excellent.
