Nazi Chase

TLCB Elves are all happily watching ‘Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark’ today, thanks to previous bloggee _Tyler and this excellent recreation of the 1937 Mercedes-Benz 320 Staff Car that starred in the movie.

A recreation of a real 1937 Mercedes-Benz 320 itself, the movie car saw action in a chase involving a several vintage German vehicles, a gaggle of Nazis (we’re not sure their collective noun is), and a horse, with the car eventually coming off worse in an exchange with Dr. Jones’ stolen military truck.

There’s more to see of _Tyler’s creation on Flickr via the first link, plus you can watch the famous movie scene in which it starred via the second. Take a look and start humming the theme music…

Cometh the Harvest

It’s been a relatively quiet week here at TLCB Towers, but we can end it with three thoroughly excellent models in one. This fabulous ‘Van der Vlist’ liveried DAF XF-105 truck, Gebruder Recker gooseneck trailer, and Claas Tucano 320 combine harvester are all the work of TLCB Master MOCer Ralph Savelsberg, who has captured each in astonishing detail.

More amazingly, each model is only mini-figure(ish) scale, yet packs in as much realism as models several times the size. There’s more to see of the whole superbly presented rig and its constituent parts at Ralph’s ‘DAF XF-105 and Claas Combine Harvester’ Flickr album, plus you can read his interview here at TLCB via the first link in the text above.
