Blockbuster Mission Roundup!

What do you get when you create a sequel to the most popular and exciting challenge of all time, put the main hero in peril and add a legion of super spy agents to the mix? Well, just like Spiderman III, the turn out on this one wasn't as blockbuster as I had originally imagined...but the few vehicles built were pretty damned awesome! Lets check 'em out!

Ralph "Mad Physicist" Savelsberg never disappoints when he builds cars...or anything for that matter. This time he boiled up a stunning '71 Buick Riviera boat-tail...a pretty sexy car for being a product of the 70's. Agent Janus is in peril and who better to rescue the good agent than Ralph's version Agent Killinger? As Ralph says, "Agent Killinger, who owes his name to his love for suits, hats and Tommy guns. Oh, and to the fact that he's a highly skilled killer..." Now that's exciting!

J0n4thn D3rk53n dismisses the fact that this is a sequel and mentions nothing about Agent Janus being in danger and does nothing with the legion of potentially exciting new agents named in the challenge. Instead he goes back to the original challenge and introduces Agent Janus all over again posed next to his generic European Luxury/ Sports car. Predictably his Janus is just like James Bond except his code name is 006, not 007. I presume 006 likes his drinks stirred, not shaken. See what I did there?

The challenge stated that you can include any other agent you see fit, so Steve "kwycstix" Walker adds the famous Vin Diesel of XXX fame with his iconic '65 GTO. You can tell that minifig there is Vin Diesel because he's bald and has a scowl...oh, and also he seems to have two tickets to the gun show!

Next Steve adds another made up agent...this time Agent Redd Neque and his modified Suburban. Heh, Redd Neque...thats funny! And check out his mullet. That reminds me, if you want to see lots or red necks, mullets, and outfits too shameful to mention, visit peopleofwalmart dotcom. Its totally hilarious!

Yanno, rescuing Agent Janus from certain death requires a backup communication team. This is why Steve built a disguised phone service truck to help the other agents find our missing hero. Included is Agent Andy Marcus (Agent AM) and Agent Fred McCorkin (Agent FM). AM/FM...Does this mean one likes rock and roll and popular music while the other likes talk radio and oldies?

Next Steve whips up some much needed class to this joint with the ever sophisticated Agent Cooper (he's rich as evidenced by his top hat and tie) and his classy '75 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. I bet he knows the correct placement of the salad fork when setting the dinner table.

Remember that challenge "At The Races"? Well Steve surely does. He conjures up the sultry baddy, Lady Venom for his final entry. This time she's involved in the rescue effort for Agent Janus and is wearing an impossibly tight dress that overly accentuates her "muffin top". You kids look that up and get back to me.

Ed Bricks sort of relives the original Janus challenge all over again by presenting the Agent's undercover truck in the form of an 80's era TV truck. Its fitted with the latest gadgets, tracking devices, weaponry, remote control cameras and long range communications devices. Speaking of suped-up 80's era trucks, this kinda puts me in the mood to watch A-Team.

Charger Hornet takes this challenge (and his photoshopping abilities) to a whole different level! Not only does he build a sweet 1973 Mercury Cougar, but he portrays it as an old postcard ad for a pilot episode show called "Agent Janus-MIA" featuring the quintessentially 80's looking undercover cop named ...wait for it...Flamer Johnson! Charger tells us that the show was pulled due to "high cost" and reruns of The Love Boat were aired instead. This could also be why this challenge was sort of sparse.

Raphy tries out a new style he calls "City-Power Racers. This...um...flying truck has working 4-wheel drive and is driven by none other than Deep One himself. In the challenge he dispatches a legion of special agents, but in Raphy's world Deep One does the job himself. Which is a refreshing change from sitting around and slurping milkshakes at Command Central. Sounds like a dream job to me!

Speaking of dream job, Lino Martins toils over what was his (my) most difficult car to date...the Volkswagen Beetle. This little car intimidated me for as long as I've been building vehicles but I finally tackled it...and this one is tricked out with required equipment for any special agent...an ejector seat and a Brickarms arsenal in the trunk. Some of you might recognize my version of Agent Killinger from the Venture Bros. "My name is Henry Killinger, und zis is my magic murder bag."

Wherever the kidnapped Agent Janus has been taken to, rest assured that Tim Inman will build an all terrain vehicle to handle any extreme environment. He chose Agent Thor as his rescuing agent and he goes nowhere without his suped-up 1972 Chevy C30 pickup called "Silverback" This truck features a winch, off-road lights, roll bar, monster V-8, hidden weapons, heavy duty suspension, oh and some custom fitted tank treads in place of tires. Bitchin'!

Azaghal Gabilzaramul has the hardest name to type (besides that J0n4th4n guy) but builds cars and minifigs that are easy on the eyes. Here we see the sultry Agent Midnight in her sleeveless suit and tie. Its sort of what the big angry dad from American Chopper would wear if he had to go to a wedding. Even though Agent Midnight looks the same age as the other agents, legend has it she's been around since Christ was a kid. She bought her car new in 1954.

Here in the states, when you have an emergency, you dial 911 for help. When you have a challenge emergency and need to beef up an otherwise sparsely populated challenge, you call none other than Lego911. Here Peter saves the day at the last minute with multiple entries. First Agent Phoenix bursts into flaming action with his jet pack and fiery hot "Blue Devil" Camaro.

Next we learn that Agent Janus has a sister and her name is Zoe Claudette...or Agent Z for short. She drives a totally sweet 1953 Buick Super Convertible in dark blue. She lives and works in Cuba where her classic car wouldn't stand out so much...ecxept for its many hidden suped-up special agent features.

Next we meet Agent Veridian in his Rapid Deployment 7-seater Ford Territory Turbo SUV...for an Agent Squad in a hurry and when you absolutely, positively gotta get seven people there in no time. There's also plenty of room for all their weapons in the trunk. And plenty of cup holders!

Peter then presents probationary Agent Natasha. Ah, I remember her! A step up in power and poise from her previos smart car, this very special engined Fiesta Zetec-S is just what this fast-girl-about-town needs to get from A to B in deadly style. I Hope she finds and rescues Agent Janus!

But if Natasha doesn't save the day, this tag team effort will. What turned out to be the most popular agent in this challenge...Agent Killinger teams up with Agent Beast in their heavy duty deep-communications Landrover Defender (in Millitary Ambulance disguise). The back unfolds to reveal a giant radar tracking device.

Every secret agent saga needs bad guys and lego911 delivers baddy Kilingrad Karl in his sweet 1955 Buick Century. He's from the East Russian Mafia as evidenced by his fur hat and is in Cuba hell bent on capturing Agent Janus and his sister Zoe. Oh no!

In the challenge, I wrote that Agent Janus was captured, hurt, and blinded hanging upside-down in a moving truck. I wrote that it smelled bad but even I didn't know the nature of the truck. Well leave to to Lego911 to show us the truck that is transporting the good agent and illustrates in no unclear terms where the smell is coming from. It turns out its a cleverly built zoo animal transport truck complete with a giraffe and an elephant. Now that's a stinky situation!

But last but not least, Agent Nero races to the situation at neck breaking speed in his special Ford Mustang GT. I presume the fallen Agent Janus will be in good competent hands once Nero saves the day! This sweet GT is a fitting wrap to a rather cool challenge. Thanks everyone who participated!

So lets see what happens in this month's exciting new challenge called "The Animal Kingdom". Anything goes, whether you build a Chevy Impala or a Ford Pinto, we take inspiration from our furred and feathered animal friends. Its already shaping up to be a pretty interesting challenge so lets see how it all unfolds. I'm pretty sure we can all come up with some pretty stunning animal inspired creations!

A Galaxie of Possibilities Round Up

For this challenge, I proposed we all build only '66 Ford Galaxies. It was the first of its kind and while it wasn't the most popular challenge ever, the few entries we had were pretty stellar. Lets see how we all did, shall we?

It's only fitting that the quickest entry is also undoubtedly the fastest car of the whole bunch. JOn4th4n D3rk53n starts us off with this neat little Galaxie that opens just like a funny car. Also like a funny car, it has realistic tub wheels, roll cage, a parachute, and an outsized blown engine. Now that's fast!

You youngins gather 'round. Uncle Lino has got a quick lesson on the birds and the bees. You see, when a boy grown up and a girl grown up loves each other very much, they sometimes like to make babies in the back of a '66 Ford Galaxie. It was voted as having the roomiest back seat of any other car so it only makes sense that this was a fave vehicle for such activity. Dohoon Kim shows us that if families are made in a Galaxie, it's only fitting the entire family gets lugged around in it too.

Tim "Gambort" Gould takes the old family car and gives it a sportier look with this sleek and sunny yellow entry. Not so sleek is the minifig that goes with it. While you can't see his face, Tim tells us that the character is none other than Joe Vig...the clumsy, accident prone character that was a major Lego phenomenon a few years back. Here we see him causing calamity with oil and water. Anyway, the Galaxie is pretty sweet with some pretty advanced build techniques.

Who can forget Santa and his sexy Russian mail order bride Natasha Claus from last December's All But Four challenge? Well this year, Lino Martins brings back the festive pair but this time they sport a new Christmas themed '66 Galaxie. Dark red and dark green gives it a holiday feel but with a slightly more grown up, sophisticated look. White interior and gold grille and rims tie the holiday theme together and light bricks illuminate the engine compartment. Remove the top, and we can clearly see all the gifts crammed in that aforementioned roomy back seat.

Keeping to his usual tiny turbos scale, Raphy doesn't disappoint with this demure little white Galaxie lowrider. Made in tricky 5-wide, the car is accurate front and back...and the binocular piece turned sideways is most certainly the best solution for stacked headlights in a scale this small. Cool!

Ralph Savelsberg finds time from being a Mad Physicist to squeeze in this entry, a classic Galaxie convertible in yellow. Its lines and lean forward aggressive stance is spot on. He tells us it was a struggle to make it interesting but with its clever construction, slick mirrors and door handles and all around panache, I think Ralph pulled it off.

So...you might be wondering, how does a completely unknown new guy like Karwick come along and build one of the most stunning small scale Galaxies anyone has ever seen? The curve of the windshield, the mirrors, door handles and headlights are all the mark of a seasoned builder, yet Karwick has only surfaced on flickr a few weeks ago. Well, I hope I'm not revealing any secrets here, but he also goes by V1...or the ever famous Noddy, whom we all cite as inspiration to our own work. Welcome to LUGNuts, my man...its about time you showed up to the party!

Ever wonder what a "murdered out" '66 Galaxie looks like? Well, rest your pretty little heads over it because Nathan Proudlove defines the "murdered out" look with this stunning black on black on black entry. Nathan tells us he didn't have time to completely deck out the details, which makes us wonder what it could have been. Still, he has captured the shape of the Galaxie very well. Here's to Murdered out vehicles!

Leave it to Lego911 to flesh out an otherwise sparse build challenge rather nicely with multiple entries just before the deadline. Here we see a very stock white model with working Vee-engine and suspension. he fills the plush red interior with a gaggle of fun loving minifig gals.

Next 911 takes a walk on the wild side with this very neat Galaxie convertible. he does a great job pulling off an unusual color configuration with brown, white, dark blue...and check out them awesome light blue flames. This Galaxie would be right at home at a custom car show.

This business of building one car and one car only has some steep limitations...but amongst the limitations there is still variety to be had. When I wrote this challenge, I secretly hoped someone would pull off a Galaxie wagon and Peter doesn't disappoint with this stunning red Country Squire wagon and horse trailer. He scores mucho extra points for the fake wood panelling!

The other thing I secretly hoped someone would build is a Galaxie Police vehicle. The challenge write up even suggested you can do that. This month Peter must have been tuned in to my brainwaves as he finishes off this challenge with a Ford Galaxie 1966 Police Interceptor Sedan. Onil...who bears my resemblance and is Lino backwards, is the dangerous criminal captive seated in the back. Yanno, in spite of my thuggish looks, I've never been in the back of a police cruiser. Maybe I'm just not trying hard enough. ;)

Well, this challenge was all about seeing what we can do with strict limitations and even though we all had to build the same car, I'm happy to see there were many different solutions to the same problem. There aren't a lot of entries here but the ones we have are great. So how do we follow up a decidedly unpopular challenge? You take the most popular challenge ever known and slam everyone with its blockbuster sequel! Once again we are in the exciting world of spies and secret agents. Agent Janus is in peril and needs your help. A new legion of special agents were introduced to up the ante so lets see how things come along in our new challenge called Blockbuster Mission! Thanks for reading!

I Wannabe Like You Roundup

So how did you all like emulating the ideas and styles of other builders? Wasn't it fun? I think it should have been the December holiday challenge as it was all about honoring and giving props to your fellow man. It felt all warm and fuzzy, like a big group hug. Anyway, lets see how we all did, shalll we?

Phillip Ryman sets the pace of this challenge with a '64 Impala honoring Ralph and Charger Hornet. The tires and car choice feels more like Charger Hornet than Ralph, but the kid is getting pretty good with this Lego car building stuff. I can see him being an auto mechanic someday. And the color choice in his paint booth...red.

Phillip mixes up a little black with that red with three more miniature entries again emulating the great Ralph S....or so he says. His size choice and use of generic, non specific cars sort of speaks more about Raphy than Ralph. Raphy, Ralph. Raphy, Ralph, Raphy Ralph! Heh, that was fun...but anyway, here is a truck, a cruiser and a hatchback.



J0n4th4n D3rk53n reaches for his trusty red bricks and turns the Picnic temperature settings way down into the icy blue range to present us with this custom 30's era sedan (that's really a coupe) with very neat RC functions. Jonathan cites Majqa as his inspiration for this build. Hey, that reminds me, where has Majqa been? We haven't seen that dude in forever.



Jonathan's second entry, in my opinion, is one of the better things he's ever done. With this very shapely hot rod, he honors silent LUGNut Brickbaron, as well as me, Tim Inman, Apple Pie, Nathan Proudlove and all the other large scale hot rod builders. This thing is just about as sleek as anything Boyd Coddington would do and for this, all the large scale hot rod builders give this build by Jonathan a collective Awesome!



Thirdly Jonathan reaches for his trusty red bricks again to...no wait...WAIT...its a miracle, blue and yellow bricks! Jonathan changes up his usual color scheme this time to honor yours truly. He knows I like 'em chopped, dropped and old which is why he went with this 40's era customized Ford. it looks sort of like one of them new fangled boxy Scion XB's...which is modeled after a 40's era Ford so you see, the connection works.



You can tell Jonathan has dug deep into the LUGNuts archives and has done his research. For his fourth entry, he honors the silent yet ungodly talented LUGNut Stephen Marshall with this digital rendering somewhat depicting Stephen's old Bedford Milk Float. Its good to see even some of our members who choose to remain a tiny blip on the ol' LUGNuts radar get some attention. Even quiet LUGNuts need love too. I've met Stephen and he deserves it.



Jason Son tells us he must not say who he was honoring for this challenge...but we all know he's givin' a big shout out to the one and only Firas Abu-Jaber. Because no one builds fast super cars like Firas...um, except maybe Jason Son. He's pulled off a sleek Ford GT 40 in a striking black and white color scheme. The Burger King logo graces the sides and front of this car making us all hungry for more from Jason Son. Oh, and Whoppers!



New guy Ochre Jelly shows some proud love for our own Nathan...um...Proudlove with this super tiny version of his ever famous Mystery Machine. The whole gang is there...we've got Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. There's Velma, Fred...and Daphne, who's looking rather chunky and square. Yanno, I kinda pegged Velma as the one who'd eventually let herself go but I guess I was wrong. That's ok, I like the nerdy smart types anyway. Velma was always my favorite but I'm not sure if she plays for my team...if ya know what I mean.



Speaking of Proudlove, Nathan Proudlove shows some love to the one and only Ralph Savelsberg. As it turns out, Ralph would prove to be a common inspiration with this challenge with scores of other LUGNuts emulating his style and ideas to one degree or another. But no one spot on nails the Ralph look quite like The Jack of All Trades, Nathan. This 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab Dually truck is done in Ralph's tricky 11 wide technique. The studs are showing and even the photo composition smacks of Ralph's signature wooden table/neutral background style. Its almost like Ralph was there building this quality truck all along.



Nolnet remembers a time when Ralph was building a lot of 5-wide VW microbuses. (See, I told ya Ralph was popular this month!) Apparently missing from the group was a VW German T3 Polizei van in lovely green and white German 80's colors. Nolnet captures all the very subtle yet difficult shapes Ralph is well known for with this great little model...he even has the wooden table/neutral background down to a science.



Nolnet graces us again with yet another Ralph inspired creation. Everyone knows Ralph loves fire trucks from all over the world, so it makes sense that Nolnet built a Mercedes-Benz Feuerwehr Unimog, which in German means...um..Feuerwehr Unimog. Whatever it means, it sure feels like those old retro lego fire trucks from the 80's. Remember them? So nostalgic. Brings back memories. I can smell the feuerwehr like it was just yesterday!



At the end of the challenge, Nolnet squeezes out one more entry and this time we put away the German dictionary in favor of the Polish one. Here we see a Limey Mog, which honors all of the hard working Polish AFOLs including pitrek02, Wojciech Scrat, M_Longer, Jerrec and all the other incredible guys from LUGPOL. Nolnet notes that when it comes to building incredibly detailed models of mundane work trucks, no one does it like the Polish. And now that I think about it...oh my gosh, he's right!



Aaron Smiley Face dishes out some love for both me and Raphy. Awwww, ain't that sweet! Aaron honors probably my most recognized MOC to date, the '49 Buick rusted heap called Hidden Treasure...but does it in Raphy's signature Tiny Turbos scale and style. He notes that its good for young builders like Raphy to have positive role models like me to look up to. Awwww, thanks, big guy! I'm digging everything about this.



Everyone knows our own moderator Tim "Rabidnovaracer" Inman is a real live...um...rabid Nova racer. He has a classic Nova....that he races...and he has rabies. But what most people don't know is Tim also has a 2010 Kia Soul. He built it as a shout out to Ralph's minifig scale vehicles. I'm digging the humorous WTFNOOB license plate in the back. Lets just hope Tim gets his rabies shots soon, we don't want him ending up all deranged and distempered like Cujo.



ZetoVince admits that he didn't really build this Lamborghini Gallardo for the challenge, but used it as an opportunity to dedicate it to Firas who paved the way, showing ZetoVince (and the world) that great super cars can be built in Lego. Also he takes design cues from the legendary Firas with a moody dark gray background, shadows and a signature watermark, making those dimwitted thieving noobs think twice about ever stealing this image and calling it their own. Good work, Vince!



For Ed Bricks first ever entry, he chose to emulate lego911...who proved to the the reigning champ in the Agent Janus challenge. Logically, Mr. Bricks went for a nice rendition of 911's Janus Land Rover. Looks like it would be totally fun to drive around the desert to chase bad guys in. I'll have mine on the rocks, please...shaken, not stirred.

Ed Bricks built a Land Rover to honor Lego911

A Ricecracker tastes better while smeared with peanut butter. Its also the name of our next LUGNut to somehow emulate Ralph with this custom lowrider truck. Ralph, with his affinity for factory standard vehicles, has never built a lowrider truck but I suppose the odd color scheme certainly does match Ralph's style.



More on par with what Raphy is doing, Ricecracker gives the youngster a shout out with this Chevy lowrider pickup done in the same color scheme as before. Neat!



Thirdly, Mr. Cracker builds a little something just like...The lego Group itself. This little yellow number wouldn't be out of place as part of a City set...perhaps a car wash or a new town plan design. Ahhhh, The Lego Group...what would we do without you? probably model kit building.



But wait, there's more! Ricecracker wants to be somewhat like Ralph...again. And this time with a 2010 Ford F-550 Flatbed. Its green...like the envy you surely feel. Yeah, I'm just gonna go with that.



Kin.lego wants to be just like Raphy...with this little yellow 4-wide tuner drift truck with an oversized drag racer engine and a LeMans racer spoiler. That sounds like something Raphy would build. Kin says Raphy's style is...easy and fast.



Ralph "Mad Physicist" Savelsberg...the man, the myth, the greatly emulated legend himself, takes time away from being a myth and a legend...but hopefully not a man, to emulate a few other styles not his own. First he gives Firas a little attention, but not one of his super cars. Turns out long before Firas was a famous super car builder he constructed a London Routemaster doubledecker bus and a black cab. Ralph tips his hat to that old MOC very nicely with his new version complete with...Gasp!...Firas style photo editing.



Everyone knows I like my cars chopped, cropped, lowered and with an obnoxious flaming paint job. Call me weird, but that's just me. For Ralph's second entry, he keys in to this formula for Lino success with this stunning '51 Merc Lead Sled. Man...talk about really tuning in to your muse. This black custom with lime green flames isn't Ralph's usual style, but it sure is mine. Ralph knows his way into my heart...and my multiple faved pics. Color me flattered!



Ralph has had a productive building month. He's built two cars specifically for this challenge and a bunch more just for the heck of it. When you have a productive month...you sort of emulate the crazy prolific work ethic of our own record breaking lego911. Just think,Ralph, if you crank out like 50 more you can break a record. ;) Here is Ralph's group shot for the month in all its glory.



CJay wants to be like Bricksonwheels. Who doesn't? Bricks knows big rig trucks and he builds them with the flair and style of a magician. CJay builds a truck and doesn't offer anything in terms of a write up...and I'm sort of tapped out for jokes. Time for me to take a break from writing then. Just enjoy the truck.



Ok, back and invigorated! Good thing, too, because Raphy, who turned out to be much emulated in this challenge, has built a high adrenaline blown muscle car for kin.lego. The image is slightly blurred to portray burning rubber at high speeds. Grrrrr Vrooom Vrroooooom! Now that's fast!



For Raphy's second entry, he chose to throw some love my way with this cute little rendition of my Solar Flare wagon. Raphy says he picked me cuz I'm awesome and badass. And nothing says badass like...um...a happy sunny yellow station wagon with surf boards. Admittedly this little car is pretty cool and in tricky 5-wide it has some pretty advanced build techniques.



Next on the Raphy slab is this little blue and white Swedish rally car built for none other than Dylan Denton. Its Swedish. And its blue and white. And its a rally car. And its built for Dylan Denton. Yay, I used up two lines talking about this car! Good enough for me!



Sometimes a young pup can teach a grizzled old dog new tricks. So Lino Martins (hey, that's me!) takes a break from building huge 18-wide monsters to give this little 5-wide 1970 Lincoln Continental a try. Raphy dreams of a black Lincoln, so I deliver the goods for the young rascal and in the process learned that building small isn't as easy as I thought. Later deemed "The Raphy Car", this little Lincoln proved to be a crowd fave at this month's SEALUG meeting.



For my second entry, I wanted to give a salute to Ralph's no nonsense, "bog standard" sensibilities about car building. Lucky for me, he also enjoys classic American cars, but this meant ditching my usual hot rod research material in favor of factory standard ads. The end result was replicating the past the way it really was with this 1960 Ford Starliner in clean white and demure gray. There is nothing hot rod or badass about this car, but on the shelf next to my other creations, its lines are elegant, and graceful...and quickly becoming one of my faves, making me think there is something to this "bog standard" after all.



What would a LUGNuts challenge be without multiple entries from lego911? The round ups would be a lot easier to write, but I'd rather drudge through this writing thing I sort of like doing anyway than to not be graced with 911's presence. To start us off, he nods in my direction with this sleek blue '49 Buick Fastback. Turns out this pretty blue beauty is my decrepit old Hidden Treasure...before it was abandoned and overgrown with forest! His backstory explains the car's history and the story unfolds with subsequent MOCs, all of them showing how the car became the abandoned old heap I had built. The fascinating backstory is still unfolding over in his stream so be sure not to miss a beat.



For his second entry, 911 wants to be like Nolnet. He has crafted a car carrier rig in the same color scheme as Nolnet's unforgettable Go Miniman Go Party Rig. Black, white and orange is, in my opinion a formula for success. awesome job, 911 and a hefty thanks goes to Nolnet for the inspiration and creating some of the most popular LUGNuts vehicles to date.



Thirdly, Lego911 shows some love for Nolnet's work yet again with this awesome miniland scale version of his Fiat 500 Hatchback. I'm digging its swooping shape and red and white color pattern proving that lego911 (and Nolnet) sure knows hot to pick 'em!



A long time ago, Bill Ward, founder of the upcoming Bricks By The Bay has built an unforgettable Shasta Teardrop Travel Trailer. Now, lego911 offers bill a tip of his hat with this newer miniland scale rendition of the same thing. I'm seeing a lot of great details here...man, I want to go camping in this thing!



What do you get when you take an awesome '59 Impala that Ralph built, then drop it, chop it and give it a flaming paint job like nathan and I would do? You get lego911's next creation honoring three top builders. I'm digging the matte gray finish, the lime green stripe and the Bionicle flame piece along the side blows my mind! Nice work.



Finally, 911 says he wants to be...Lego. Is he going crazy? Probably not. Thats just 911's humor showing through. This sleek black, red and orange Ford Edge towing Bill Ward's famous teardrop is too advanced for someone of compromised mental ability. Plus he's got a mini pirate's boat disguised as a recreational boat on the roof...and that's not crazy at all!



Besides, if Lego911 was crazy, would Dylan Denton want to be like him? I'd think not. This month, Dylan builds multiple versions of the same car, just as 911 would. Both are 1974 Lancia Stratos. The yellow is a Stratos HF Stradale, and the other is a rally car sporting the logo and colors of Marlboro cowboy killers. See, thats not crazy at all.



Lastly Olafo wants to be like Ricecracker because he likes his minifig compatible stuff. Here we see the concept Jeep Hurricane done allegedly in Ricecracker's style. I'm digging the black and silver here. Nice execution.



Finally Olafo finishes himself off, and the challenge, with this 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback built in honor of Ralph Savelsberg proving once and for all that Ralph is the most sought after builder in this whole challenge. Congrats to you, Ralph! If you were nearby, I'd buy you a round of drinks. But, as circumstances has it, I'll just have to drink that round for you. So here's to you! Cheers! (Glug glug glug glug!)



Well that was fun! Every challenge so far has generated dozens of diverse cars trucks and bikes with still potentially hundreds of thousands of possibilities...but what would happen if we're all forced to build the same car? Its still too early to tell, but even when faced with just one choice of car, I believe we can pull off scores of diverse and interesting ideas while still working within rigid limitations. Stay tuned and lets see how we all do with our 1966 Ford Galaxies in this month's challenge called...A Galaxie of Possibilities! Should be great!
