Red Removal

LEGO’s fictional energy company has been supplying fuel to planes, cars and boats, as well as sponsoring pretty much every vehicle in LEGO City with a number, since ’92. Cue TLCB Master MOCer Dennis Glaasker (aka bricksonwheels), who has taken Octan’s iconic white, red and green colour scheme and flipped it to create this huge custom Peterbilt 389 and Polar tanker combo.

Constructed for the Legoworld Show in the Netherlands, Dennis’ spectacular 1:15 tanker features unique decals, custom chrome, and a livery so cool we don’t miss the red absent from Octan’s usual colour-scheme at all.

There’s more of Dennis’ stunning creation to see at his ‘Peterbilt Octan Tanker Combo’ Flickr album, plus you can find out how he creates amazing models like this one via his interview here at TLCB via the first link in the text above.

It’s a brave builder who takes an official wheeled LEGO set and uses it to construct something without wheels, but that’s exactly what previous bloggee Serge S has done in creating this marvellous polar aircraft. Build solely from the pieces found within the 10721 Fiat 500 set there’s more to see at Serge’s photostream by clicking the link above, plus if you’re feeling inspired to make an ‘alternate’ of your own you can check out TLCB’s Lock-Down B-Model Competition by clicking here!

Lego Peterbilt 379 Tanker Truck Bricksonwheels

This magnificent slice of brown brilliance is the latest work of one of our very favourite builders, published author and TLCB Master MOCer Dennis Glaasker aka Bricksonwheels.

It’s a 1:13 scale Peterbilt 379 truck, beautifully chromed, and pulling a matching Polar tank trailer, and as has come to be expected from Dennis, it is quite simply one of the most exquisitely detailed Lego models that you will ever see.

Dennis has gone one step further this time though, and has teamed his incredible building skills with third-party Lego light specialists Brickstuff, who have wired in hundreds of LEDs to bring the truck and trailer to life.

The whole project has taken 5 months to reach completion and is powered by a hidden battery whilst the lighting sequences are controlled by a custom multi-channel remote control.

There’s a whole lot more to see at Dennis’ superb photo gallery, including – of course – several stunning images showing what a few hundred expertly-integrated LEDs can do. Click this link to make the jump to see all the photos Flickr.
