TLCB newcomer Wave Noiz is making his debut here with a pair of stunningly realistic Town excavators. Wave’s work is some of the most detailed we’ve ever come across in our time blogging – you can see more of Wave’s incredible Town-scale creations at his photostream via the link above. You can also read our reviews of LEGO’s own excavator sets by visiting the Set Review Library –click here to make the jump.
This gorgeous unpronounceable Russian truck was discovered on Flickr today. It’s been built by Patrick Taylor and you can see more here.
The arrival of the Ford Mustang in Europe from 2015 is a delightful prospect for all of us here at TLCB. Ford have finally given the Mustang a proper engine too with the excellent 2.3 litre 300+ bhp 4-cylinder from the Focus RS.
Ford’s previous generation of Mustang was not available in Europe, probably because it would have been comprehensively outclassed by almost everything, but nevertheless it did look fantastic.
Flickr’s -derjoe- has built the 2014 version of Ford’s iconic muscle car in LEGO’s new bright orange, and it looks fantastic too. You can see more of his simple yet wonderfully effective recreation of the outgoing Mustang via the link above.
We often post old-timey vehicles here at TLCB, but it’s a rare treat when we can post old-timey vehicles that have been built in an old-timey way!
These charming 6-wide Town vehicles were discovered by… er, The Brothers Brick*, and are the work of Flickr’s grubaluk. There are lots more photos of the individual models available to view on Flickr – simply click the link above to make the jump.
*Our Elves have been sternly reprimanded, the lazy turds.
Classic Space seems to be taking over the online Lego Community of late. We’ve had classic space hot rods, even classic space muscle cars, and today we can add another three tenuous links back to the smiling spacemen of the 1980s to this list.
First up, and the least odd of today’s trio, is this mega Mobile Lunar Base by Flickr’s Benjamin Corey. It’s got Technic Power Functions motors inside so it can trundle about in a very classic spacey way, although luckily for our Elves it’s one RC creation that’s too slow to mow them down. You can see more of Benjamin’s tracked-command centre on Flickr at the link above.
The second of today’s classic space creations comes from recent bloggee Tim Henderson, who has decided that what classic spacemen really need in the vacuum of space is an air-breathing V8-engined ‘gasser’ hot rod. It might not be logical, but it’s damn cool! There’s more to see on Flickr via the link above.
The final model in our classic space trio comes from Gerald F of MOCpages. Gerald’s smiling classic spaceman seems to have taken a wormhole into a parallel universe, emerging at the helm of his very own classic space Star Wars podracer.
You can see more of Gerald’s spacey mash-up over on MOCpages via the link above, whilst we ponder if the arrival of all of these smiling classic spacemen is the signal of something sinister…
We’re trying to get through this post without making a nice ride / rod / your mom reference, but as we’re failing hard we’ll just jump straight to the link; You can see more of Tim Henderson’s Ford Model A ‘Mitzy’s Hot Rod’ at his Flickr photostream here.
Previous bloggee Aitor Fernandez is making another appearance here with another excellent Town scale car. This one’s a classic Checker Cab and you can see more on MOCpages. Plus points if you can identify the set that the trunk-lid sticker came from!
This refrigerated box-van was discovered by a member of our Elvish workforce today. Tromas is the builder and you can see more of his Town-style truck on Flickr.
Lego Admiral’s scene from one of – perhaps the – greatest movie of all time stopped the whole office today. Head over to Flickr to see it.
Jon Hall is back with another weird yet utterly brilliant aircraft. This one’s got checkers (which are surely the new racing stripes), it’s entitled the ‘Liberator’, and you can see more here.
Well sir, there’s nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car, monorail!
Sinan Bitibic is pitching the idea to the people of MOCpages. Although it might be more of a Shelbyville idea…
This lovely trio of Town cars was discovered by a very fortunate Elf. An Elf which now has three meal tokens. Will it use these over a number of days, or will it go on a bender and use all three in the next hour? We think we know the answer to that…
Anyway, as we prepare for the appearance of a perfectly spherical – and possibly quite ill – Elf, you can check out its finds by heading to Aitor Fernandez‘ MOCpage. There’s an ’80s Ford Crown Victoria taxi, a beautiful Rolls Royce Phantom, and a neat ’65 Pontiac Firebird – all of which can be viewed via the link above.
We’re back, and much like our last post it’s with a model of a car that looks kinda old and kinda new at the same time. This one is the work of Flickr’s LegoAlbert/Kristof and you can see more at the link.
This is, er… we have no idea. Reading builder Ordo‘s creation backstory left just left us confused, so it’s probably best we simply own up and say this is here because it was suggested, and because it’s really cool. There’s more to see on Flickr.
