It’s Febrovery! That time of year when members of the Lego Community get into line, following closely behind one-another to build rovers all shapes and sizes. None seem to be the wares of the defunct British car company which shares the name, to this site’s continual disappointment, but there are some marvellous contraptions nonetheless. This one, a sort of centipede of mini-figures, comes from Nikolaus Lowe, and you can join the back of it on Flickr via the link above.
This TLCB Writer thought they might be still drunk this morning, because what it appeared one of the Elves brought back to the office was – and this is going to sound crazy – a giant train riding not upon wheels and tracks, but fifty protruding centipede-like legs.
After a drink of water and some time away however, we can confirm that much to our surprise it is indeed what the mind of Vince_Toulouse has conjured.
Entitled the ‘Myriapodotrain’, four interconnected carriages are suspended over the aforementioned legs, each of which is a piece from the long (and best) forgotten ‘Insectoid’ range.
An exterior of deep red and gold, domed windows, and some delightfully extravagant mini-figures add to the whimsy, and you can climb aboard Vince’s remarkable transportation system via the link in the text above.
