Old Fashioned vehicles - Adventurers real brick models from LDD builds

Recommended Posts

Before we begin this topic, here are some notes:

-some of these builds have LDD files, most do not.

-Most of these models should probably go in the Town forum, but they were built for Johnny's time period, so here they are.

-I personally think that Johnny Thunder was mentioned to be set from about 1920 to 1924. Jake Raines from Pharoph's Quest was from 1922 (that is officially when it was, as stated by LEGO), so in my version Jake is a former student of Kilroy at the University where the good doctor taught until his untimely death in early 1925. (after Orient Expedition ended) Johnny & Jake met at the Kilroy's funeral, and eventually went adventuring along with Major Quentin Steele, who happens to be Lords Sam Sinister's old commander in World War 1. (Major Steele is from Monster Fighters, set around 1921.)

With these points in mind, let's join Johnny and his friends in a never ending battle against the Sinister forces of evil...

In the early 1920's, inquisitive minds and hardy souls, both good and evil, scour the corners of the Earth looking for lost civilizations and vast treasures. Some search for their own personal gain, or limitless power, others search for knowledge in a quest to preserve the past for the future. Good or evil they are known as...

Great, I like the Green Island Racer and the Treasure Raider.

Very well done to have some updated versions here. Cars were a bit poor in the original series. Your cars are fine.

The green island racer was originally designed by my Brother in tan on MOCpages (link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/383615 ) he later added opening doors, and I put a newer engine on it, while I made the Treasure Raider from set Indiana Jones set 7622, Race for the Stolen Treasure.

Yes, cars were poor looking back then, but at the time they were the best. In 10 - 20 years from now, these cars will look very much the same way as the oiffical models.
