A look back at Jonathan Stephenson's Lego Technic Cars

[Paul Boratko]

Back when I started seriously getting into building some 15 years ago there was a guy named Jonathan Stephenson who had designed some really awesome Technic cars... Of course this was before everything had gone full studless... I know that many people here have probably never seen these models, so I would like to share them as they are amazingly well done... I don't know if he still builds or not as I haven't seen anything since these cars from 2000.. IMO they still hold up even with today's new full wave of parts...

The corvette bodywork and the mustang rear axle are fantastic, I thought I had seen everything and still there are nice surprises.

It's great to see the older models, and love his style in that days it whas stunning :thumbup:

That Corvette looks fantastic. I wonder how many other brilliant MOCs and builders have been forgotten due to them building so long ago. We should make a "forgotten builders" topic to honor all of these older builders

Edit: created one

The corvette is fantastic I see he used fiber optic for the fire sequence in the engine

Thanks for the thread idea Paul. I just love old-fashion studded cars, and these 2 are simply amazing. Rishab, will certainly visit that new thread :)

These look way more sturdier than recent mocs (this was a huge downside for me when I got my first studless Technic), I imagine these shouldn't bend or twist too much.

Yes, thank for the information, I always wondered how fully studded Technic cars would look like.
