Once Upon a Time in the West

Lego Western Train Robbery

Yes it’s no use saying that you don’t know nothing
It’s still gonna get you if you don’t do something
Sitting on a fence that’s a dangerous course
Oh, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force
Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Our obscure British music theme continues here at The Lego Car Blog. If that’s not your thing (and if it isn’t, take a long look at yourself), perhaps try this alternative. Oh, the model! This superb Western train robbery scene comes from Flickr’s markus19840420 (there must be a lot of Markuses on Flickr) and there’s more to see by clicking here.

Brothers in Arms

Lego USAf Bombers

With things is Iraq and Syria getting ever more serious thanks to the dicks in Daesh, bombing by the U.S and its allies is looking increasingly likely. Kenneth Vaessen’s enormous 17,000-piece B-2 stealth bomber joins two of its USAF stablemates courtesy of fellow Dutchman and TLCB regular Ralph Savelsberg. You can see more of Kenneth’s incredible B-2 and Ralph’s complimenting builds on Flickr – click here to see all the photos, and here to learn more about the Syrians and Iraqis caught in the crossfire, some of whom could be LEGO fans just like us.
