Lichtblau Cobra in the cyberspace

We already mentioned the Cobra from _lichtblau_ on the blog and since he also did wonderful building instructions, everyone can build his own. As long as he has enough orange and light blue bricks :) I think an average Lego builder usually does not have, even in other colors. So I thought I improve the situation a bit.

Voila, the virtual Cobra, built in Lego Digital Designer:

It is not exactly like the original (wheels, body lines, etc.). But it can be loaded into LDD with a click and ordered immediately (approx. $37.47 in the US, EUR 28.14 in Germany). It has 137 pieces. Or you can pimp it on your computer :)

I plan to upload other LDD models too.

Shelby Cobra with instructions

I like mini cars like this Cobra very much. It is ingenious how every brick fits into its place and even though it is quite small, it perfectly reflects the lines of the original.

Now the builder, lichtblau posted instructions as well.

Favorite cars from the Mad Physicist

We already covered airplanes from the Mad Physicist (Ralph Savelsberg) (here and here), let's take a look at his cars (click on the images).

Ford F150:

Chevrolet Camaro from Chicago City Police:

Mercury Sportsman, 1946:
Each single one is perfect. It is worth to take a look at details like the wheels - almost each one of them is different even though the scale is roughly the same. Likewise, the mirrors, etc.

Now I am only waiting for a Trabant... If I stare at these images for too long, I may build one myself...
