LegoFjotten Posted June 2, 2018 This is a small build for the Eurobricks 2018 event in Billund. The goal was to build a car in the Speed Champions style, either an actual car or a movie car. Since I'm not a car buff I opted for the latter. The car is Captain Nemo's car, from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I took some creative liberties to make it more Speed Champions like rather than going for accuracy. Comments are welcome, and check out my Flickr for higher resolution photos! Wasn't quite sure which forum this belonged in, but since it's a steampunk car it ended up here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) A true Speed Champions scaled beauty, and my number one pick for the Eurobricks Billund SC contest! Bravo! Edited June 2, 2018 by Digger of Bricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skalldyr Posted June 3, 2018 It truly is a beauty! As I already said at the event I also fell in love with the street design. (Now that I finally arrived back home I will need to do pictures and video of mine too.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted June 4, 2018 A really nice car indeed! I like the street design, but I would have tried to mix tiles and gold ingot. Contest-wise, I would have privilegied accuracy, or at least have more instantly recognizable details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still LF's entry is a really nice and sleek car! No points for the wonderful, but challenge-wise futile background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted June 5, 2018 More thant the car, I like the background. specially the tiled road. It creates a magnificent background for the white car to stand out even more. What caught my attention was the odd shape, the elongated nose and an extra set of wheels. I like the chrome details in the front, but I got to say I like brickbuilt version better than the real one. My favourite detail is the surf board - well thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted June 5, 2018 It's a good-looking car, well photographed. You've got the feel of the thing just right, even though it doesn't look exactly the same as the movie car (but that's a tall order given the small size, isn't it?). As others have mentioned, your cobbled street is a great setting to put the car in. The car just pops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoModularFan Posted June 5, 2018 Indeed, the background adds quite a lot and I especially like the amazingly inspiring railing and gate designs! The car is still wonderful though, I love the shaping and the usage of the surfboard! Keep up the exceptional work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted June 7, 2018 I don't think I've heard of the franchise, but wow! That is a pretty awesome vehicle! Background is definitely dope too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingfisher Posted June 7, 2018 A very sleek design in a great setting. Perhaps some lighting from the street light when rendering may have set it off even better. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted June 7, 2018 Seeing the actual built simply marvel. I have to admit that the backdrop is so 'distracting' too. Great entry for the competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted June 10, 2018 Just saw your creation here was featured on The Brothers Brick blog! The Brothers Brick - Finding Nemo is easy – he’s in his car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoFjotten Posted June 11, 2018 Thank you all for your comments! I did in fact enjoy building the road & backdrop more than the car, not much of a car builder really. Always nice getting showcased by The Brothers Brick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love it! It reminds me of Red Skull's car from Captain America the first Avenger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
