the Inventor Posted May 17, 2021 Hello, Adventures is one of my favorite themes, a couple of weeks ago I made some reimagined figures: Johnny Thunder, friends and foes by Ids, on Flickr 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: Expedition start! by Ids, on Flickr Expedition start!! by Ids, on Flickr Expedition start!!! by Ids, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Sassy Posted May 17, 2021 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanuinuva Posted May 17, 2021 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caiman0637 Posted May 17, 2021 Nice, this looks quite good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted May 17, 2021 This. looks. AWESOME! I really think it looks set-like, as if Lego released it today. Great work @the Inventor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clone OPatra Posted May 18, 2021 Love that car, and the film camera looks ace! Adventurers builds always hit right in the feels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 . 22 hours ago, Takanuinuva said: Cool 5 wide design.

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. 23 minutes ago, Clone OPatra said: Love that car, and the film camera looks ace!

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.

Peter1999 Posted May 18, 2021 Absolutely fantastic! Beside that great car, I love the motorcycle with dual front light, and that fantastic anubis statue design in the first pic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khorne Posted May 18, 2021 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 Posted July 7, 2021 I love the camera build. The use of the new Harry Potter wand pieces in black is amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the Inventor Posted July 8, 2021 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.

EVE Posted July 16, 2021 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the Inventor Posted July 20, 2021 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoMFP_David Posted July 22, 2021 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abaddon127 Posted September 24, 2021 I love these. The car, and video camera are particularly excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
