Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - Group Shot

And while my interest in vehicles waxes and wanes, Peter Blackert (lego911) brings us an extremely steady supply of cars. But I don’t think I’ve seen him make the same car at four scales before. My own bias shows through in my love for his tiniest Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

How to fill a flatbed

Bedford TK and David Brown 780

I’ve recently got right back into building cars and vehicles. So much so that when I built a Bedford TK truck and needed to fill its flatbed the solution I came up with wasn’t the usual boxes or logs but a David Brown 780 tractor.

PS. Dear LEGO, could you please make a tyre that’s slightly larger than the one I used? Yours, Tim

Abundance of Dark Orange

A testimonial to why Dark Orange is such an awesome color, and yet, why is it seemingly impossible to obtain in large quantities (LUGs are an exception)? Take this as a hint, LEGO. People want this color, and it can do wonders for a model.

It’s far too expensive on Bricklink and Pick a Brick does not even offer it. I understand  that it might be a bit more expensive to produce such a color (especially just for adults), but wouldn’t it be more applicable to everyday models (sand/dirt, buildings, roads, terrain, etc.) compared to say, Bright Blue or Bright Yellowish Green?

So what do you as builders think?  Leave a comment or thought if you wish.

Happy Halloween!

Kenny Louie’s minifigs carved this adorable memorial to the classic smiley head. Awesome idea…why didn’t I think of this?

This gorgeous castle, by Brian Corredor, hits all the high notes. I could live in this place.

The smooth-polished look of Patrick’s 1922 Ford pickup really caught my eye. From the engine crank to the tail-lights, this one’s a beauty.

Lego: Webster’s Timeline History, 44 BC – 2007

Filed under LEGO Books

Product Description
Webster’s bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on “Lego,” including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Lego in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Lego when it is used in proper noun form. Webster’s … More >>

QF-45 Sarigar front 3/4

Rob Morrissau (dasnewten) is usually known for his gorgeous angular yet blocky spaceships where, to paraphrase Jon Hall, every single piece is in the right place. He’s certainly got the pieces in the right place in the QF-45 Sarigar but this time he’s gone vertical and more organic. And the cockpit is excellent.
