Messing Up Afghanistan Since 1978

Brick Built Bucket
LEGO’s new Technic 42131 App-Controlled CAT D11 Bulldozer set revealed here earlier in the week is a spectacular (and spectacularly expensive) way to push LEGO pieces around your floor. Of course the...

Rope & Bucket
Today’s post sounds like an English pub, but it is in fact a fully operational recreation of the Caterpillar 7295 rope excavator, as built by Ivan_M in a spectacular 1:40 scale. Inside Ivan’s model...

Elven Heights
‘Hmmm…’ murmured this TLCB writer upon entering the crumbling ruin that is TLCB Towers today. The cause of his utterance was looking him in, well, not quite the face, but certainly the testicles. A...

Camp Fire
We love repurposed vehicles (or anything else for that matter) here at The Lego Car Blog. Taking something and transforming for a different purpose is not only far less environmentally damaging than...

Distri-brick-tion
LEGO like distribution trucks in their Town/City range. With generic ‘Cargo’ branding and the blandest of styling, they’re… well, perfect actually. However the Technic and Model Team ranges, which...

The Joy of the Unexceptional
We love the unexceptional here at The Lego Car Blog. McLarens, Lamborghinis and Porsches are all very exciting, but we sometimes prefer to celebrate the ordinary. (Maybe we’ll run a building...

181mph* LEGO Supercar
*Kinda. This is the Spania GTA Spano, a 925bhp, 400km/h supercar power by a twin-turbocharged version of the V10 engine found in the Dodge/SRT Viper. Well, except this one isn’t of course, being only...

Spania GTA Spano
What? Yes, us too, but apparently the Spania GTA Spano is Spain’s hypercar, and with 925bhp on tap, it’s quite a potent one. This incredible Technic recreation of the GTA Spano first appeared here...

Ferrari at Forty
The definitive 1980s supercar, the Ferrari F40 has become – like most old vehicles – ludicrously expensive. Of course it was ludicrously expensive when new too, but fortunately we have a thoroughly...

What a Load…
Loading. Reloading. Unloading. All the loadings are excellent. At least according to mahjqa and his co-conspirators. This is mahjqa’s lovely Model Team / Technic truck, and it is – as you’d expect...

My Other Jeep’s a Truck
LEGO’s 42129 Technic Mercedes-Benz Zetros set offers the chance to get a fully remote controlled ‘truck trial’-capable model off-the-shelf. And we like that. What we like even more is taking the...

Water on Mars
Mars. Our closest neighbour that isn’t orbiting us, and bleak desolate planet where water turns directly from a solid to a vapour, and back again. Cue BobDeQuatre‘s ‘Dionysus’ armoured water tanker, a...

Bah Humbug!
Civilian Hummers are rubbish. Whether a lightly adapted military transport or a re-bodied Chevrolet Tahoe, they’re enjoyed principally by conspiracy-theorising, climate-change denying,...

Smushed
It’s been a while since the last Elven smushing event. This is partly because TLCB Elves are marginally wiser these days, after years of running one another over, but mostly it’s because they hadn’t...

Building Big
Really, really big. The human in the above picture is Beat Felber, a Lego builder of gigantic proportions. His models we mean. Surrounding Beat are ten spectacular fully remote controlled pieces of...

Want a Lift?
Lifted trucks, a favoured vehicle for a subset of the American populous that we mock regularly on these pages, are resolutely awful. Even though the suspension is raised, the lowest point of the...

The Grinch
Green, ugly, and ruining beloved institutions, the Grinch and the Lamborghini Urus are, in this writer’s eyes, effectively the same thing. Of course Lamborghini will sell more hateful Uruses than the...
