Lost (the plot)

Hollywood loves a plane crash on an uninhabited island. ‘Cast Away’, ‘Lost’, ‘Send Help’, and of course the fantastic book that inspired all of them – ‘The Lord of the Flies’ – explore what happens when man is left alone. Well, except ‘Lost’, which instead explored the limits of audience patience after taking a good idea and then abandoning it in favour of whatever would elongate the series the most.

Anyway, Loïc Gilbert is also exploring island survivalism through his brilliant brick-built diorama. The remains of a wrecked airliner offer his mini-figures some shelter, and there’s much more to see at his photostream where you can explore morality, instinct, and order versus anarchy. Or whatever it was ‘Lost’ ended up being about.

Dude, We Could Totally Jump That Lake!

You might think that a Ford Mustang and a golf cart have nothing at all in common.

One’s a loud, (usually) V8-powered muscle car designed for bros who think that wheel-spin is the single greatest achievement in motoring, whilst the other is a slow, (usually) electric-powered mobility scooter designed for Donald Trump-types to avoid doing any exercise whatsoever during their ‘sport’.

But they’re actually much more alike than they first appear…

That’s because they are both driven by absolute morons. As evidenced here. And here. And here. And here. Oh, and here.

See, they’re exactly the same. Which makes the humble golf cart the perfect vehicle to recreate from the pieces found within the official LEGO 10265 Ford Mustang set, as demonstrated today by Jakub Marcisz who has done just that.

There’s more to see of Jakub’s alternate at his ‘10265 B-Model Golf Cart’ album on Flickr, where it’s only a matter of time before someone jumps it over an ornamental flower bed.
