Colour Me Strange Roundup.

I think that it's safe to say the response to this challenge took Lino and I both by surprise. So many entries that I am starting the round up early just to keep up. The idea in this challenge was to build a Lego vehicle using less common colours. We wanted to see some variety and we got it. Check it out.


Ralph Savelsberg (Madphysicist) is first out of the gate with a new light grey and dark red coach built collaboratively with Ed Diment (Lego Monster)

Ralph also built a builder's van.

followed by a particularly stunning '60 Impala Coupe

and a 5-wide British Police van.

Finally we have an Audi TT.



Tim Inman (rabidnovaracer) shows up in an orange Porsche 914.



Duq from Ireland shows us his white hotrod.

and a "Classic Coupe," in tan.




And the crazy prolific Lego911 starts us off with an orange Renault.

Followed by a Chevrolet Nomad

then a '60's BMW CSL

and another BMW

then a Mini

and a pair of '57 Corvettes.

Next is a pair of Lambos. Miuras to be exact,

a pair of '50's racing Ferraris; a 166 MM Vignale Barchetta and a 212 Export Supperleggera Barchetta (Touring),

a Citroen DS

a '49 Ford Woody Wagon,

and finally, a shrunken version of Lego's dark blue VW Beetle.

I think next month, I'll just pick my favourite to blog. Whew!


Matt Armstrong (Monsterbrick) surprises us all with his lime and purple constructicons.









John Royal (Charger Hornet) shows us a 1964 Chevelle.



Newcomer paramat has a go at the challenge with a custom brown microcar.



William Ward presents a fig-scale Land Rover.



Dylan Denton is another LUGNuts rookie and proves he's no slouch with a (nearly) studless white hot rod named, "White Hot," of all things.



Gold_2's '64 convertible



.eti's wacky purple and red school bus.



Lino shows his Passion with a '56 Chevy pickup. Check it out, remote controls driving and show-hopping action!



Peer Krueger (mahjqa) builds the General Lee from memory.



That's all the time I have this month folks. I am off to Brickcon tomorrow to see some of these fabulous LUGNuts cars in person. I'll do a particularly biased write-up of the 'con when I get back. For those of you with last-minute Colour-Me-Strange entries, I'm sorry I missed you.
October's challenge promises to be the best yet. It will also be the last time I blog every vehicle submitted. After that, I will be highlighting my favourites. I hope that does not dissuade any from participating, but blogging that many entries has become fairly time consuming.
See you all after the 'con.
