When I was a kid, there was a time when the driveway was occupied by a classic beetle, and a Ford Pinto. That car was a piece of junk and the whole family pretty much dreaded going anywhere in it. Now if had been even remotely as cool as this awesome MOC by Proudlove, I'm sure we would have been trying to think of excuses to go for a ride all the time. Well, the kids maybe, I couldn't see my mom wanting to go anywhere near this car.
This slick, three wheeled wonder comes to us courtesy of builder Vince Toulouse. I love the retro-future styling, the clean design and the simple but effective color scheme. It's fantastic enough to really catch your eye, but utilitarian enough that you would almost think it's real. Of course the real burning question is would I drive it? Yes, yes I would.
Everyone knows what a huge Disney geek I am, so just about any MOC from the parks makes me swoon. But this Omnibus by Sir Nadroj is particularly spectacular. I know what a Disney fan Jordan is and it shows with the attention to detail and proportions on this vehicle. The use of the curved stairs at the back is particularly inspired, and I'm guessing a major catalyst of this build.
Is there anything that gets the blood pumping quite like a sweet hot rod? OK, maybe Zach Galifiikis in a g-string is your thing, or perhaps Flo from the Progressive commercials? Whatever, I like a cool hot rod, and this MOC from Biczzz is a cool hotrod. I love the broken line to hike the back end up and make the stance more aggressive, and that engine is awesome. And all of it is beautifully photographed, this is the total package.
As a kid I built plastic model kits, a lot of plastic model kits. Besides planes and cars, I also loved the cool classic monster kits. But my favorites were over-the-top hotrods like this one, the Vanbulance. Builder LinoM has recreated this classic hot rod from 1974, and the results are stunning.
I think it's wonderful how particular cars are associated so strongly with a film or character. Some so strongly that they seem inseparable. Can you think of a Delorean without Marty McFly? Well here is another car that is forever linked, and it's hard to say which is more cool, the car or the man, since we're talking about James Bond. This Aston Martin DB5 by EROL hits all the right marks, instantly recognizable and iconic.
This, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Of course it's a product of the 1920's and of Rolls Royce, and between the aesthetics of the period, and the famous attention to detail of RR, how could it not be utterly stunning. Builder Lino M does it justice in this MOC. Or as the Sultan famously said in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...
“Rolls-Royce Phantom Two. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg Downdraft carburetor. Can go from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 12.5 seconds...And I even like the color.”
There's really nothing like the beautiful lines and contours of classic American cars, and builder J0n4th4n D3rk53n has captured them perfectly in this gorgeous 1949 Cadillac. The details are subtle and effortless on this MOC, like the stone guards on the back fenders, and the shaping on the fins. But that front grill...masterpiece.
Say what you will about 2002's Tom Cruise film Minority Report, there was some way cool design in that movie. From the gesture-based displays to the jet packs, there was cool tech everywhere you looked. But very little of it was as cool as the Lexus concept car, and now we can admire it in brick form thanks to Mad Physicist.
The latest LUGnuts challenge is all about secret agents, and Lino M delivers quite an entry with this ultra custom spy car of the future. It features a extendable rotating weapons rack, missiles, a buzz saw, and can deploy a motorcycle from the passenger side! And all in a totally badass looking package.
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and across the Pacific. My Hawaiian vacation is coming to an end and it's been lovely. I didn't get to see any cool Hawaiian style customs while I was here, but I seriously doubt I'd see anything as cool as this classic beetle from Lino M. Surf's up dude!
These just make me want to put on some driving gloves, slip on some goggles and go motoring through the UK countryside. Car enthusiasts will recognize these beauties instantly as Caterham 7's, world renown for their small two seater form factor and Lotus heritage. They are masterfully recreated here by Bricktrix, so much so in fact that from a thumbnail, they look totally authentic.
I have a bit of a weakness for retro MOCs, I'm also a fan of chrome, so this 1930's Spindizzy tether car from Sir Nadroj naturally caught my eye. Not only is it stylish and appealing, it's also 100% "legal", no custom parts or modifications, splendid!
This is a perfect example of how MOCs don't need to be complex or large to be awesome. Sometimes a simple model, well designed and properly photographed, can totally grab your attention too. This hot rod by builder byKNAP is just that, clean lines, nice part use and photographed well. It's even on a pull-back chassis so it has play value, nicely done.
It's always been my assumption that the original designers of cars have to be continually shocked and amused at what customizers do to what they almost certainly thought was a vehicle that was just perfect. But that doesn't stop the customizers, and it doesn't stop radical car builder Lino M either, as is illustrated here in this absurd, but wonderful MOC.
The cars of the 30's 40' and 50's were so damn cool. Design back then was just different, builders were craftsmen, and manufacturing focused on beauty and quality, not just sales. It seeped into all aspects of design, from architecture to kitchen appliances. But cars were particularly well designed. This version of the Hollywood by Rabidnovaracer is as beautiful as the car that inspired it.
As you know I rarely feature digital models. Not that I have anything against virtual building, I use LLD and Brickforge all the time. But I only use them as a design tool, building always follows. That being said I cannot resist this MOC of one of the greatest vehicles ever, the Death Mobile from the classic Animal House. And it really wouldn't have been complete without Bluto, nicely done mmbace.
She's one of the most iconic muscle cars ever created, the Ford Mustang. Whether you're a fan or not, you can't deny the influence and popularity of this little sports car that burst onto the scene in 1964. Now Peteris Sprogis has created one of the finest reproductions in brick I've ever seen, it's just awesome.
What we have here is one sleek-looking, crimson beauty. I mean seriously, look at this thing! It would be amazing in any color, but is even more so in the rare LEGO dark red. The build is chock full of great little details including foot pedals, shifter, and a fully modeled engine under the hood.
They just don't make cars like this anymore.
Some follow the crowd. Others change lanes and leave it behind. The Cozy Coupe is the ideal juxtaposition of human-centered design and distinct styling. it's more than an introduction. It's a provocation. OK, I stole all that from the Lexus website, see how silly you sound Lexus? Nice build Legohaulic.
