Shame its not slightly bigger, like 1:10 scale seeing as its a tiny car anyway.

Take a look at this creation that a guy in Spain made. The difference is, his is made out of Technic, and that his is just crazy! Anyway, here is a link.

That's all kinds of awesome, I love Technic.

I cant wait for that Mini. It will look great alongside my VW Beetle and Camper.

 

[DrPuppetwarrior]

It's a shame the mini is a mark vii.

I've modeled many Lego cars over the years, mainly using red parts from my Ferrari Enzo and F430 sets. My proudest creation is my F-150 (see profile picture):

Other models I've built are:

The Super Ute

The Twin-Engined Supercar (V8 in front, H12 in rear)

And the Amphibious car.

I've developed different types of 4WD mechanisms, as well as a differential. I'm currently working on a steering mechanisms, but it will be very hard to put into a car of that size (most are about 1/16 scale).

 

[commodoreben]

Keep the pics coming JMoney we need all the people we can get in this thread. Here are the exterior shots of the Parisian Restaurant set.

My H10-Hybrid-powered supercar, with inspiration from the Zonda, Maserati MC12, and Audi R8. Pictured behind is my Lego pile inside the frame I recently built for it. I estimate that I have about 60,000 pieces.

 

[commodoreben]

I might have to try and get a photo of my lego collection for you all. Here are the interior shots of the Parisian Restaurant.

That Parisian restaurant is awesome @commodoreben, really like the artists studio and painting.

Feeling truly inspired by @cgg's cool Go-Kart, (and coming across a small bag of old technic parts, at a car boot sale a couple of weeks ago), i decided to waste the Le mans weekend constructing a Go-Kart.
It's taken what seems to be an absolute age to finish, i even downloaded the Lego digitiser thingy, in hope that i could model it beforehand.. but it was not a success, (i think my laptop needs more RAM), the digitiser thing was unusable.

Nothing functions on it except the steering, so it's purely cosmetic. I might try and get hold of some better technic parts (pistons, chain and such) and attempt another version of it, but that won't be for a good while.

They're not mine per sé, they're my brother's. He left them behind when he moved out of town and I have them at my place now. Two buckets.

Do you have any idea of what sets are in there? Do you have any pics of it? This would have to be the coolest bus stop there is.

Come to the dark side Cano.. explore your inner LEGO builder.

 

[DrPuppetwarrior]

I'm thinking of getting the Death Star but I don't wanna pay 100 dollars more because I live in Canada.

Is that the play set death star? How much is it over there? Here it was around $500, I can't remember exactly what it cost me to get but it was around that.

 

[Cano]

No, I don't remember which sets are there, nor do I have pcis of them. I'm sure the instructions sheets are there though. When I have some free time I'll try to get them out and see what's inside.

Oh I have, don't worry. Back then I used to assemble all sorts of stuff with the Legos. I remember building at least 3 hot rods with them. Good times 👍

Your Hot-Rods made me think of this

 

[Cano]

Ah, yes. Pretty awesome, but no, I never got to that point

When ever you get the time. I don't wont to take you away from your work in the Hotwheels thread.

 

[Spacegoat]

They're not mine per sé,

You so need to get yourself one of these. When they are released, Cano.

 

[commodoreben]

I agree with you. I think we should start a campaign here and in the Hotwheels thread trying to make @Cano buy a Lego Mini.

$499 @ lego shop

Stop making me spend money. Damn that Mini is awesome

But making you spend money is so much fun.

 

[Cano]

Oh, spending it is way better, believe me

 

[commodoreben]

Does this mean that you are going to get the Mini?

 

[Cano]

Dunno. How much?
