Do Minifigures dream of Plastic Sheep?

Recommended Posts

And if they do,how do those Plastic Sheep arrive,maybe with a Taxi?
Well,i can`t answer these Questions for sure,but i guess most People got the Reference to the Movie "Blade Runner" that was based on the Book "Do Androids dream of electric Sheep?"
Sure,we all admire the cool dark blue hovering Police Spinner or maybe even Deckards infamous Sedan.
But what about all the other Cars that showed up randomly in the Movie?
One of these Cars is the Metrokab.This Taxi might not be pretty but it gets the Job done and if you insist on arriving at Home dry without getting soaked in the Rain then this should be your Mode of Transportation by Choice.

I used various Pictures and Concept Drawings as a Guideline on how to build my own Version.
This Car perfectly represents how they imagined futuristic Cars in the early 80s.Covered Wheels,Vents and ribbed Surfaces everywhere and don`t forget those massive Bumpers.
I really hope you Guys like my newest MOC and it would be nice to see some Comments.

Love it! The choice of wheels and shaping makes it awesome. And the top with those 9 thingamajigy's is a nice touch of detail. :sweet::thumbup:

Instantly recognizable, well done!:thumbup:

I do think the 2x3 panel would look better in trans Black then trans blue.

Yeah i know.But i was out of trans black Panels and the small Brick Shop i often visit to get Parts for my MOC didn`t have any either.

Glad you love it.Yeah those 9 Button Thingies add some Texture to the Roof,even if i have no Idea what they are.The original Vehicles have them and i first thought these might be Batteries of some sort which doesn`t make sense since most Metrokabs feature a Chimney-like Exhaust.Or maybe they are Batteries and those Cabs are Hybrids.I mean those Cars are covered in Vents of all Sorts,so something needs cooling and fresh Air (let aside the Aircleaners for the Passengers)

That is a interesting build even though I have no Idea where it is from.

A wordplay on the booktitle 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' by Philip K. Dick, on which the movie Blade Runner is based upon. :wink:

That is really cool. For the longest time I have been trying to build something from Blade Runner other than Spinner. Thanks so much.
