Lego showrods from Japan

You know I like creativity wherever it exists... I ran across this guy on Instagram, and checked out his website. Click on the "my Lego Creations" to see his builds, but man, these things are cool... All I ever built was block-cars and trucks. The creativity with Legos these days astounds me... I was building Legos before I found model cars, and I dare say it is part of model building's roots for many builders.

Check it out.

Huh, these are cool! I like the Beer Wagon in particular! And is that a Popcorn Wagon too?

There's sometimes some cool Lego pieces that you can use for builds too - the characters sometimes have little things to hold that look roughly in scale, at least for a Showrod build anyway.

Pro tip: Legos are good for making custom sized boxes for resin casting

 I'm not really keen on the whole Lego thing these days apart from doing what they it does best and that is getting kids to be creative using their hands. Lego films? Will we one day see a Lego version of American Graffiti or even the Good the Bad and the Ugly and think it's great? Not me anyway.
 Admittedly I would help my kids build these as a project, especially if I had a kit already and they were just a little to young to handle the modelling knife and tube of glue. Unfortunately mine are all now having kids of there own but then maybe when they are older
 But HEY! I like the idea about creating mould casings, I never thought of that. Brilliant

My 30+ year old son is into LEGO big time. I got into them a little for fun. I did a series of Mad MAx cars.

A few more.....

Haha, these are cool Dave! They look like fun projects! There's a Lord of the Rings themed Lego set that my girlfriend keeps hinting that she'd like to build - one of those big adult sets with a gazillion little pieces - I checked the local lego store and it was FOUR HUNDRED bucks.

My son and his wife BOTH build....and they will spend big bucks for those collector sets.
