My Other Truck’s a Jeep
The Jeep Wrangler is one of the best off-roaders available, but what if even it isn’t quite off-roady enough? There aren’t many vehicles more capable than a Wrangler in the dirt, but one of them is...

My Other Piece of Earthmoving Equipment is Also a Volvo
Not our snappiest title. Still, we don’t mind, because this 42114 B-Model from Marek Markiewicz (aka M_Longer) is absolutely marvellous. Built only from the parts found within the official LEGO...

My Other Truck’s a McLaren
We like a good B-Model here at The Lego Car Blog. In fact we ran a whole competition around alternates during the first Coronavirus lock-down last year. Cue previous bloggee LoMaC, who has repurposed...

Super Sub
It’s the UEFA European Championship, when Europe’s best football teams (plus sometimes Israel for some reason) battle it out to win all the Coca Cola they can drink. Cue the Subaru Impreza STI, a car...

Mechanical ‘Mog
LEGO’s official Technic 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U400 set earned a stellar 9/10 rating here at The Lego Car Blog when it was reviewed way back in 2011. Fantastic functional realism, excellent use of...

Technic 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger | Review
The ‘Fast & Furious’ movies are – for the most part – total garbage. With characters coming back from the dead (twice), long lost family members loosely enabling plot continuation (twice), and bad...

James Young
Who? Well back in the ’60s (and a lot more before then), you could buy a car without a body. Usually a really posh one. The point was a coach builder could create something more bespoke, and they were...

Build-a-Fiat
LEGO’s 10271 Creator Fiat 500 set is a fine addition to their officially licensed line up. Even if we don’t understand why it comes with an easel. However being a Creator set, 10271 isn’t particularly...

Half-Size Supercar
This is an Autozam AZ-1, and it’s awesome! Produced from 1992 to ’94, fewer than 5,000 units were built across all three brands that marketed it (Mazda, Mazda’s kei car brand Autozam, and Suzuki, who...
