Iain Heath celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first “Back To The Future” movie with builds of Marty McFly and Biff Griff Tannen…from the second movie. However, built with Iain’s usual flair for the awesome, these dudes invoke the true feel of the characters. Well played, Iain, well played indeed!
Let the movie quotes begin….
Mr. Wong’s Curio Shop, originally uploaded by Jameson42.
Flickr user legodrome’s bold spaceship with its asymmetry and standout colors has caught my attention. The ship is divided into differently colored sections that seem like a random assortment of parts from other spacecrafts, yet the resulting design is convincing.
Brickshelf user Elex presents a sculpture of Miss Piggy on her motorcycle measuring 104 studs wide and 65 bricks tall. There’s a commentary page and a well-documented construction journal with detailed photos showing the building process. This is the most pink I’ve seen in a fan-built creation.
Jason Corlett’s cat beast from 9 is has a very recognizable pose with spindly legs and sharp mechanical parts. The tan contrasts nicely with the grays.
According to Ricardo Grates (biczzz) the Honda RA272 was the first Japanese car to win a Grand Prix. And it sure looks great in LEGO.
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.
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

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.
