[MOC] Johnny Thunder, friends and foes and a new car

[the Inventor]

Hello, Adventures is one of my favorite themes, a couple of weeks ago I made some reimagined figures:

This weekend I also finished a new car for Johnny Thunder, it was quite difficult to use that grill piece (which is 2 wide in a 5 wide bonnet with also 2 wide mudguards on each side).

I am quite Happy how it turned out, let me hear what you think:

Ah, another Adventurers MOC. Jolly good builds. It's funny seeing Baron Von Barron dressed as a Scotsman while, I believe he was German (I might be wrong).

Cool 5 wide design. 

And looks like we had similar ideas for motorcycles. 

Also love the recreation of the hieroglyphic pillar from the original desert theme.

[caiman0637]

Nice, this looks quite good.

[Murdoch17]

This. looks. AWESOME! I really think it looks set-like, as if Lego released it today. Great work @the Inventor!

Love that car, and the film camera looks ace!

Adventurers builds always hit right in the feels.

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes dressed as a Scotsman, I was looking for alternative headgear instead of the top hat, maybe I should build a Scottish castle for him where he keeps his treasure or an Scottish adventure .

It was a bit of a pain to get that nice 5 wide design but I like the end result, and the motorcycle was empty without those bags.

Thanks, the filmcamera uses this piece: BrickLink - Part 4736 : Lego Minifigure Jet Pack with Stud On Front [Minifigure, Body Wear] - BrickLink Reference Catalog with a paint roller and a couple of extra bricks, was really fun to design it.

Absolutely fantastic! Beside that great car, I love the motorcycle with dual front light, and that fantastic anubis statue design in the first pic!

Lovely figures and great way of building that camera. The obelisk steals the show here for me. What an excellent piece usage there. I love seeing this modern interpretation of the Adventurers theme. I always loved that as a kid and I think I've got all of the sets.

The way you build the car is inspiring and I love the design in general, even though it feels a bit too "modern" for Johny Thunder to me, but that's just my personal taste.

[The Lego Theory]

I love the camera build. The use of the new Harry Potter wand pieces in black is amazing!

[the Inventor]

Thanks for the comments,

@Khorne I get what you mean by the car, maybe it's a tad too modern, I based it on a Mitsubishi PX33 (1934 - 1937).

@The Lego Theory It's actually dark brown, but this was the closest I could get to resemble a tripod with it's thin legs.

[The Lego Theory]

Well I couldn’t tell the difference, so great job!

[Brickwolf]

Nice figures, great car!

[Murdoch17]

Congrats on being front paged - its well deserved @the Inventor!

[EVE]

What an incredible build! It captures all the swashbuckling thrill of the original adventurers wayyyy back when, in a sleek and updated style. It brings back nostalgia in the best way too - adventurers set was my first lego set. What a throwback!

Great Minifigs but the obelisk and the car steal the show!!! 

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Wow this construction is extremely iconic! 

I like the presence of the scorpions and the snake! 

[the Inventor]

Thanks for all the new replies and front paging my build, glad you all like it.

Now I just need to use it in some build, I have some ideas, but It will likely take some time. 

[LegoMFP_David]

Loved the adventures theme and it would be great if they brought it back, however I know it is extremely unlikely

 

Great MOC's here btw, and I love the car that was the main reason why I loved the adventures line so much was the vehicles, it was such a novelty seeing two minifigs sat next to one another

[Abaddon127]

I love these.  The car, and video camera are particularly excellent.
