Yeah, this is maybe going to get locked as it's sort of about Lego. BUT AMAZING Lego builds of some OLD CARS. Have it. I was a big Lego fan as a kid and since we are all a bit creative (or mad) and like building cars, I figure a few of you might share that with me. I'll ease you in with a black cab and sneak some newer cars in as we go...  Routemaster  Toyota FJ40  With a Mack truck  2CV  Here it is with a DS  and a Beetle  and a new Fiat Panda  And since we've had an RNLI themed thread this morning:   A 54 Hudson Hornet     A late Karmaan and a Hebmüller  Farmer Giles  Mk5 golf Dutch Police car  A '36 Merc 500k Special Roadster  New BMW M roadster and TT  VW Samba  RAF Matador Refueler  Old USAAF stuff  Gallardo Spyder   Err sorry that one was a bit new, have a 65 Fleetwood     Next to a CROWN Vic (scale is about perfect)  Couple school buses  Scania  More of the DS    F40    MKVII Jaaaaag    Porschii  Shelby Cobra   BOAT TAIL RIVIERAAAAA omnomnom   66 Galaxie    A certain yellow Renault Traffic I'm sure most of us know quite intimately:   51 Mercury Sled    46 Mercury Sportsman   Anyway, I could go on posting these all day, there are HUNDREDS of them including lots of newer stuff, tons of planes, tanks, trains, helicopters etc etc. Anyway, I think I'll leave the rest for you lot to post in this thread if you want to. Here is his Flickr account: www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/Hopefully it's not just me who finds his stuff amazing? ;D |

I know Ralph, MadPysicist, and if you think his cars are good you should see his planes... The cars are 1/22 scale the same scale as Legoland. Here's a view of his scooter;  moped_chase by Country Photo (UK), on Flickr Random fact of the day: in terms of sheer numbers, Lego is the biggest tyre manufacturer in the world. ;D and Nokia are, or were, the worlds largest camera manufacturer. |

Seems its easier to make a small version of the classic panda actually look like a panda, than it does to make a bigger version look like one... Small and very panda looking  Big version, that looks odd and has had a roof chop  |

Some Lego cars from Legoland. Mostly German, I think due to proximity to Germany. Nothing like as good as the examples above but the scale was smaller to fit in with the Lego towns and cities. A 2CV  A 2CV rear  Generic Benz  A Ducato?  Terrible angle on a G-Wagen  G-Wagen  A series Landie.  A Mustang.  A Rascal. My Fave.  Generic Rolls Royce.  A Smart ForTwo.  A Benz T1 minibus.  A T4 bus?  A modern Transit. Sorry.  |

A series Landie. Stage 1 V8 methinks. Series windows (inc split screen) so not a Defender, Series 3 lights and mirror location, but flat-front grille. How sad is that?  Impressive that the level of detail is such that you can do that though. |

Correction to my earlier post. Having spoken to Ralph (Mad Physicist) his models are actually 1/20, not 1/22 as at LegoLand. Choice of scale is down to availability of wheels, some of the LegoLand cars are built on a non-Lego chassis so they can move. Somewhere I've got some close up pictures of the LegoLand cars taken on a behind the scenes tour. He says "...I am glad a bunch of classic car aficionados appreciate my efforts..." A 1/22 Routemaster and Eddie Stobart lorries are next on his building list, but no more hot-rods  |

I despise 'new' Lego. This thread is the very epitome of what Lego SHOULD be about, using your creative skills to replicate something from very generic parts, whereas the new stuff is mostly proprietary pieces designed just to make to one thing on the box art.
