About two months ago I was tidying the folks attic and found some of my Lego from when I was a little'un (stuff from approx 1988-1994), this pretty much instantly gave me the bug so I decided I wanted to work on a long term project with 'new' Lego. As I'm a motorsport photographer I decided my local circuit would be good inspiration, the main paddock complex is still in the planning/brick collecting stage, but I've been working on a few vehicles to populate my build with.
The concept is to build it in as near to current City style as possible, so wherever practical I'm modifying current sets rather than building from scratch. Thoughts/improvements/suggestions very much welcome, these are literally my first ever MOCs and the first Lego I've touched for about 16 years, and I'm mainly using parts from the sets I've bought, so I'm sure there are many things to improve upon...
Burger Van A
Based on the Ford Transit style Burger Van, this is a modified Prisoner Transport with parts from the BBQ Stand. It needs a clear windscreen at some point.
Race Transporter
At first glance just a Lego Truck, but this was the most challenging of the three as it required a wider floorplan to hold a standard car. This - oddly, was a combination of Lego Truck (3221) and the Train Station (7937). You don't see many trucks like this in the UK, so I may use a Tank Truck style cab in the future.
Burger Van B
Based on the trailer Burger Vans seen frequently at events, this is a modified 4WD Horse Trailer (7635), again with BBQ Stand interior (just added, so no pics yet)
I've just also finished my first two race cars and will be building an Ice Cream Van this weekend, so it's moving faster than expected. So much fun!
