Read MoreTraveling as an AFOL usually involves the ritual of visiting a LEGO store wherever you go—even though all the products are nearly identical around the world. Today’s stop is Rome, Italy!
Read MoreThis first picture might just fool you into thinking you're looking at a real Ferrari dealership, the second picture will leave you impressed with the sheer scale of this build, both will make you hungry for Italian. This dealership by builder rjl458 is the culmination of four years of work, and it shows. The attention to detail is so good I feel like any second someone's going to walk up to me and offer a test drive, to a car I could never afford.
Different things are done differently around the world, and different nations all have that thing they're known to be the best at. All the best electronics come from Japan, the best food comes from France, nobody pours a pint like the Brits and here in America it's bacon bowls, snuggies and guns. And if you want to talk cars, you better talk about Italy, because nobody does it sexier. Take for instance the Testarossa, like this beauty by Firas Abu-Jaber, it's practically pornographic.
One of the most renowned endurance racers of the 1960's, the Ferrari 330 P4 dominated at Monza, Daytona, and LeMans. The source material has some decidedly sexy and difficult curves to replicate, and through some sort of deal with the devil or otherworldy black magic, Bob Alexander has captured them perfectly. In addition to bending the brick to his will, Bob has also managed to stuff in a gloriously detailed engine - an ABS glimpse into a 450HP V12 that most people will never get the chance to see in real life.
While I don't personally follow F1, but I have some friends that do, and I know that the season opens this weekend. But you don't have to be race fan to appreciate this expertly crafted and beautifully photographed MOC by Nathanael L. The contours and details on this thing are as sculpted and gorgeous as the real car, it just screams speed.
Thanks for the head's up nlay3!
Vroooom! I don't personally follow F1, but I have a few friends who do. And I know this MOC by Nathanael L would make their heart pitter patter for different, but sound reasons. I really like the contouring of the main body. Normally LEGO versions of exotic racers suffer from the same problem that a lot of MOCs do, namely being boxy, but this is sleek and sexy.
There are few things in the automotive world more stirring and lovely than vintage race cars. And one brick-built with skill and photographed really well is just and pulse-pounding. Check out this Ferrari by Bob Alexander. I just want to reach in the screen and vrooom it all over the floor.
This is a fun little retro build. As if it wasn't cool enough to recreate this transport icon, Flickr user Ape_Fight also incorporated Power Functions. They sure knew how to make a grill in the 50's.
