A Warhammer 40,000 Special today, with two builders and seven creations. Above is the imposing looking Imperial Guard from Lego Admiral, whilst below is a Furioso Dreadnaught by the supremely talented bruceywan. You can see more from both builders on Flickr.
It’s muscle car time here at The Lego Car Blog. After a little while without one here on our pages LegoNoitAllMocs‘s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda marks a welcome return to V8 muscle. See more at the link.
This wonderful creation is, er… it’s, er… well, steampu… Never mind, whatever this is you can see more of it here, via Galaktek’s photostream. If you know what it is, answers in the comments!
Another day, another Elf returns to the office, creation in hand, expectantly looking for a meal token. Today’s sci-fi find is this ship entitled ‘White Dragon’ by Biomanniax on Flickr. Funky angles are very in-vogue at the moment, and this creation packs in quite a few. Check it out at the above link whilst we feed the lucky discoverer.
This evil brown tanker originates from the 1971 cult film ‘Duel’, directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the short story by Richard Matheson, in which a deranged truck driver hounds a sales rep across the California desert. We won’t spoil the ending if you’ve not seen the film, so instead we’ll direct you to trapjewad‘s Flickr page where you can pick up some clues.
We know this is a long way from being a car (although it does have wheels and, inexplicably, jet thrusters depending on which movie you’re watching), but it’s too delightful not to blog. Monsterbrick gives R2-D2 an Andy Warhol-esque ‘Art Car’ paint-job on Flickr.
Summer is finally starting to find its way to The Lego Car Blog Towers, and its imminent arrival has given the Elves a sunny disposition, resulting in a yellow day here at the blog. We like yellow, so on with the show!
First up is this splendid 1:16 scale Kamaz dropside truck. Built by DB_Kit Fisto, it’s one of the most brilliantly detailed vehicles we’ve blogged in a while. It features working suspension, Power Functions drive and Ackerman steering. And it’s very yellow.
Second up is something a little smaller. [Maks] is back with a mini-figure scale vehicle entitled ‘Yellow School Bus’. Which is exactly what it is. And it’s rather good too. Check it out on Flickr.
This wonderful little Supermarine Spitfire MkV comes from Dornbi on Flickr. Surely one of the most beautiful, and important, aircraft ever built, the Spitfire and its comrade the Hurricane saved British skies from German invasion. And therefore possibly saved Europe too.
Now this is a tow truck! Based on the Sherman Tank, the M32B1 Recovery vehicle was the perfect tool for rescuing unreliable World War 2 hardware. This brilliant replica is the work of =DoNe=, and you can see more on Flickr.
This lovely Technic supercar is the legendary Lancia Fulvia HF, a car that won the World Rally Championship and put Lancia on the map as a maker of seriously good fast saloon cars (before it all went wrong in the ’80s). Piterx’s Technic version looks the part and features an epic list of functions, including; Automated Clutch, Front Wheel Drive, RC Gearbox, RC Brakes, Independent Suspension, Power Functions Drive and Steering, Opening Doors and Bonnet… To see all the detail visit the Lancia’s Eurobricks thread here.
When there’s something strange, in the neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Mad Physicist!
You lot have been busy. We’ve had so many Elves trooping back to the office holding spaceships, mechs and battle tanks that we’ve got a back-log to clear. So here it is, a Sci-Fi Special with no less than six creations featured!
Row 1; from left to right: Maedhros1980’s Survey Ship, NHI’s MHS Mech, and Shannon Ocean’s R-Type Starfighter.
Row 2; from left to right: Nathanael Kuipers’ M.B.A. Mech, pasukaru76’s Duel Tangent Fighter, and finally, NatNeto’s Galaxy Patrol Heavy APC.
Redspeed in the title, but picture is orange…? The Elves, who have been learning the names of the colours, are confused…
Whatever, the orange seems to be done with photoshop, but as orange looks neat we’ll let it slide. The actual model is red, and with the various nifty shapes and nice parts usage almost everywhere Harry Gravett has totally nailed probably the first Lego Marcos LM600 on the net.
Harry’s race-ready road car looks great in any colour, so it’s worth checking out by clicking the link above.
We like old, slightly rubbish cars here at The Lego Car Blog. This stirling effort was discovered by one of our Elves on Flickr. Built by r a p h y it’s a Polski Fiat 125P Kombi (Station Wagon, Tourer or Estate if you’re not from Eastern Europe), modified in ‘cultstyle’. Which makes it somehow very cool. See more on Flickr at the link above.
The unsung hero of neat lawns everywhere, the butterfly mower keeps golf courses, playing fields and country house grounds well groomed. Seen here attached to a thumping great red tractor, this one is the work of 896gerard_ on MOCpages. Groundsmen of the world salute you Gerard!
