Tiny Transporter
We’ve been posting MOCs towards the larger end of the spectrum recently, so today it’s time for something a bit smaller…
This tiny white transporter is a stretched Volkswagen T1 ‘Renntransporter’, as used by the Rennstall Bunker Porsche Team in the 1960s. Nils O is the creator, and you can see more of his mini-masterpieces on MOCpages.
There’s room for another wing on there Bruce…
Sigh. So much for a quiet Sunday. We walked into The Lego Car Blog office today to find the Elves engaged in civil war. After donning oven mitts to separate the little turds we discovered the fight was over who had found this beautiful 1969 McLaren M7. It turns out that two Elves had legitimately discovered it, as Nathanael McCartney has built both winged and un-winged versions. So two dinner tokens, and two calmed Elves. See both versions of this brilliant classic race car on MOCpages.
Insert (literally) Porsche racing cars for twice the awesome!
Malte Dorowski is back, and this time it’s not with a Porsche! Well, sort of. This beautiful race car hauler is a Ford C Type, as used by the Martini Porsche Racing team. Malte has already built the team’s racing cars (along with almost every other Porsche), and they fit snugly in the back via a fully working motorized lift. Continue reading
Nissan GTP ZX Turbo
We’ve featured a lot of Porsches here at The Lego Car Blog. They’re a popular choice for Lego builders, and why not? After all, they are the most successful sports car racing brand of all time. Occasionally though, another company comes along and displaces them from the top. Currently Audi are said manufacturer, but back in the late eighties it was Nissan, with their incredible ZX Turbo. bobalexander! has recreated the iconic race car with a bucketload of blue Lego. See the whole gallery on Flickr.
Eagle Weslake Mk1. Just one win. Still, more than HRT.
This stunning blue racing car comes from one of the best motorsport builders around, RoscoPC*. Found on Brickshelf, this 1967 Eagle Weslake V12 features working suspension, engine and steering. The real deal won just a single race, in the hands of Dan Gurney at the notoriously dangerous Spa circuit. After 26 races the car was retired as the team focussed their efforts outside of Grand Prix racing, but nevertheless it earned fame simply by being one the most beautiful Grand Prix racing cars ever made. See more of Rosco’s Lego version at his Brickshelf page via the link above.
*See if you can spot his name in the picture.
DeTomaso and Nick Barrett’s Ferrari GTO collaboration
This awesome slice of ’60s Italian exotica is a Ferrari 250 GTO, created by two of our favourite car builders; Nick Barrett and DeTomaso Pantera, who have collaborated for the first time. Check it out at their respective pages.
We’ve also interviewed DeTomaso in our new series ‘Master MOCers’, which you can read here, or by hovering over the ‘Interviews’ icon on the menu.
We want to know where VFRacing gets his stickers from!
Discovered on the Eurobricks Forum, and resplendent in Daf Racing colours complete with all 729 sponsors, this Dakar Rally Truck by VFRacingTeam is a rather brilliant looking machine. It should be brilliant to drive too, being powered by a complex array of LEGO Power Functions kit and based on a chassis design by Efferman (which means it’s good!). Visit the Eurobricks forum for more.
Martini Racing, ’70s style
We’ve featured a few of Malte Dorowski’s astonishing racing cars before on The Lego Car Blog, and this time he’s completed the set by beautifully photographing his Martini Racing Team VW Parts Van alongside one of his Porsche racing cars. Part of a Classic Racing group, you can view the full gallery on MOCpages.
…Red Lorry Yellow Lorry Red Lolly Lellow Rolly…
Thomas Graafland, a very talented young builder, has created this magnificent full studded Gelo Racing car transporter for The Classic Race Teams Group on MOCpages. It’s packed with functions and has plenty of room for two classic Ferraris. What more could you ask for from this tongue twisting beauty.
