    It's been awhile since I last designed an addition to my Speed Champions theme. I thought that with all the Ferrari cars being released that Al's Autos would expand with a Ferrari dealership. So started playing with an idea using the new angled door frames. Having a play with a roof sign: Enjoy :)

    As a Speed Champions fan it is great to see your designs and mods. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more of your great vehicles.

    Yes and yes. On the first TTPM video there is a five car train so six would work. On my Brickcoaster rollercoaster I have run separate cars at once on opposite sides. One will eventually catch up to the other due to friction differences.

    LEGO stop motion video. Enjoy :)

    George (the little boy in green and blue) decided to try out his new drone while waiting to board the school bus. Please be nice to him as it was his first time flying a drone. Enjoy :)

    Some cell phone photos that show the 4 lane road better with all the vehicles on it: Videos to come, enjoy :)

    Hi, yes I have on my vehicle and building topic.
  10. AllanSmith
    Set up day Friday 13 in Napier, New Zealand. My Speed Champions layout is made up of 14 long by 2 deep large light bluish gray base plates. More photos and video to come from the show days on Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy :)

    I love the Speed Champions theme and I agree that Speed Champion vehicles are too big in scale for the modular buildings. That is why I build my own buildings on 48 x 48 stud base plates. Also the roads are not wide enough so I have just finished making a new 4 lane road on fourteen of the 48 x 48 stud base plates to go in front. My next building is going to be the Downtown Diner XL version across 48 studs without the upper floors. Picture below of my layout before the new roads.

    Anything with 4 wheels :) Ok it would probably be the Ford GT40.

    My Speed Champions sets will be displayed on 28 of the large 48 stud by 48 stud base plates. 14 at the front for the 4 lane roadway and 14 at the back for associated buildings like drive in movies, showroom, workshop, service station etc. Just waiting on 7 more base plates to arrive at the local toy shop. Layout will fit on 3 folding trestle tables making it 5.4 metres x 0.76 metre.

    Finished the low-rider. The small pistons were a bit weak to lift the weight of the car so I added the yellow rubber bands to help. Enjoy :) the video. Turn the sound off because all you can hear is the LEGO pump.

    it's really annoying when you open up five Speed Champion sets to find that 4 out the 5 sets had damaged sticker sheets. One of the two Ford Mustang sets had a damaged sheet, luckily one is now a road version so only needs one sticker. Both small Ferrari sets had bent sheets as did the Ford Fiesta set. Reported it to LEGO with photos. They are sending out replacements but I want to put the stickers on now. Don't Enjoy :(

    Upgraded the front bumper to match the rear. Enjoy :)

    A quick play with the Mustang to make it look more like the original than a race car. Will make a front grey bumper to match the rear one. Also make a black rear window sticker. Enjoy :)

    Current project. Modifying the Jokers low rider to match the original movie version and in Speed Champion scale. I only used the purple pieces from the set and one extra lime roof. Also animating it with pneumatic's. Work in progress so not finished yet. Need correct length axles :) Will park it by a wall and feed hoses through wall to hide them :) Enjoy:

    Hi, I don't know. Do you think there is a demand for these. Also have a lot of sets in the 0600 range from 1970 in various conditions. I didn't get much $ for the Ambulance of that year, so am wondering if I should sell those too.

    LEGO has produced a couple of videos. I love the police car scene in the Porsche video. Enjoy :)

    Thank you so much They look great on my screen, especially the raining ones as it's now raining outside
  22. AllanSmith
    I love the rain and snow pictures but they are too small as my computer screen background. Can you upload some bigger sizes to flickr ? Thanks.

    Hi, yes the trees can be attached to LEGO studs like the current trees.

    While sorting through my storage unit containing 30+ years of LEGO I came across these two sets made in 1966. I didn't know I had them and they are made of hard plastic and about 75 mm high. Also they are made in Great Britain not Denmark. Each set contains 6 parts but I also found enough trees to make another set of 6 plus spares. Enjoy looking at this piece of history.

    Hi have just finished the Mustang too, without the stickers. Showed it to my non LEGO partner without her seeing the rear printed round tile and she guessed it was a Mustang. In real life it does look better than the pictures.
