Hi everyone! Happy New Year 2026 to all of you! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? To kick off this new year, I’d like to present my latest creation, inspired by a slightly crazy project started by a guy in his garage. A project from someone who first built a GT40 replica from scratch, then took on the wild challenge of designing and building his own hypercar. I’m of course talking about the Hyperpilote by Benjamin Workshop a very famous home made French builder. I’ll let you check out his YouTube channel—he’s quite active and regularly shares updates on the progress of his project: https://youtube.com/@benjaminworkshop?si=HpPa3anAV1SEwS1X On my side, I started designing the LEGO model toward the end of his Kickstarter campaign in 2022 and completed it at the end of 2025. Initially, the real car was meant to be fully electric, before switching to an internal combustion version in 2024. This major change ultimately didn’t have a significant impact on my development, which I was carrying out in parallel, as I had quickly decided to focus my efforts early on the exterior design, using the body panels from the Lamborghini Sián 42115. Here we go—time for the photos! I. General Specifications 6-speed gearbox + Neutral + Reverse by @Anto (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-171508 ... s/#details) Gear indicator Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters Independent suspension Elytre doors opening mechanism Integrated lifting rams (“Air Jacks”) Front and rear anti-roll bars Self-locking differential mechanism when steering Functional front radiator Opening features: doors, hood, and trunk II. Design The design of the real car is heavily inspired by the McLaren P1. This influence is evident, on the one hand, in the unique three-seat cockpit layout, and on the other hand, in the teardrop-shaped canopy, which gives the rear wheelbase a much more pronounced and muscular stance.I reused the P1 body panels in light bluish orange to achieve this overall look. The front end is a blend of panel placements inspired by @Charbel Charbel’s McLaren 720S (https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/172734-moc-18-mclaren-720s-w-instructions/&tab=comments#comment-3134415), used to shape and frame the headlight line. The headlights themselves are made from DBG barrel elements, similar to those used on the LaFerrari MOC by @T Lego: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/193303-moc-ferrari-laferrari-18/ As a small nod, I tucked a nitrous bottle behind the driver’s seat, in the spirit of Need for Speed II—for those who remember… The rising beltline between the front and rear wheel arches was quite challenging to resolve. The slope is very subtle and integrates into an opening body panel. I wanted the door opening mechanism, inspired by the Ferrari Daytona SP3 42143, to be completely hidden within the overall design. Each door opens independently via a push-button that actuates a linkage system with friction and an over-center mechanism, allowing the door to remain open. The door is then closed by pushing it back and breaking the over-center point. The door can also be opened without using the push-button; however, the lever must then be engaged to lock the door in the raised position. For added realism, I wanted to incorporate a realistic version of Nissan’s famous twin-turbo V6, the VR38DETT, complete with the full exhaust plumbing as well as its two side-mounted turbochargers. Its red engine cover contrasts nicely with the car’s orange bodywork, in my opinion. The chassis is extremely rigid despite the absence of a central spine, thanks to the 3×19 frames on each side: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=67491#T=C The gearbox located behind the cockpit also plays a structural role. For reference, the car weighs over 2.5 kg. And the French touch ! You want the same in Green ? Wait... III. Features To explain all the features of the model, let’s start with the schematic below: Blue: Main transmission, RWD, and radiator rotation Light Green: Gear-shifting mechanism and indicator Yellow: Anti-roll bars Red: Steering via HOG or wheel and coupling to the differential lock mechanism Green: Elytre door lifting mechanism Blue: The gearbox is based on Anto’s version: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-171508/Anto/ultimate-6nr-gearbox-with-forks/#details Go check it out—his system is brilliant! It’s a 6-speed + Neutral + Reverse gearbox. The gear indicator is visible through the rear hood (I simply forgot to add the sticker for the photos ^^). I also extended a driveshaft to operate the radiator fans at the front of the car. Light Green: The paddle-shifting mechanism is angled and uses the rotation of Wheel 2474: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2474&idColor=3#T=C&C=3 A rotation stop is also included to prevent infinite spinning. Yellow: The car features anti-roll bars on both axles. Red: I designed a differential lock system that engages when the wheels are straight. During steering, whether left or right, the system automatically releases the differential. This solution combines efficiency with simplicity of use. Green: Each elytre door opens independently via a lever that actuates a linkage system with friction and an over-center mechanism, keeping the door open. Finally, not shown on the schematic, this model version features a pneumatic circuit that powers four actuators—one at each axle—allowing the car to be lifted a few centimeters off the ground. The effect is impressive when the car rises! The system is powered from the rear via a manual pump, and the selection lever is cleverly hidden beneath the horizontal suspension elements. IV.

Most of these are simple connectors, and it’s unfortunate that LEGO doesn’t offer a wider range of parts when releasing a flagship set. I do not encourage the use of third-party shops, but if you plan to rebuild this car, be aware that you may need to source parts from suppliers like Webricks or Godbricks to complete the inventory. Unfortunately, Rebrickable does not allow the publication of instructions containing non-LEGO parts, but the instructions do exist—so if you prefer the orange version, please contact me privately or via Rebrickable/Instagram. The car also features 3D-printed wheels and custom stickers. I personally designed these pieces, matching the wheel diameters of the Sian 42115 but with the design of the P1 42172. These files are included with the instructions, as are the stickers. Here’s a preview of the instruction manual’s table of contents. The design is fully modular to make assembling the car as easy as possible: 360° video : Thank you for your attention and see you ! -
Upon receiving the 2016 Clone Turbo Tank I soon became curious of it's potential. I had seen rather negative reviews with the Tank as the subject matter, and soon became worried that I had made an unwise purchase. However, I happened upon BrickBros UK YouTube channel and soon thought of an idea. Perhaps I could turn this around. Using pieces from the Clone Turbo Tank I began work first on a Venator-Class Star Destroyer. Within a short period of time I became convinced that this particular vessel wouldn't work, so I decided to start over again and attempt a Pelta-Class Frigate due to the 2016 Rebel Combat Frigate being on my mind. Once finished and run out of plates I glared down upon my abomination and decided that I would rather see what Eurobricks may try. So here I leave you with a quandary. Imagine: The Galactic Republic ordered a shipment of cruisers from Kuat-Drive Yards to be delivered to Coruscant. Upon arrival it became apparent that there had been some sort of misunderstanding: the shipment contained only Turbo-Tanks! Instead of succumbing to dread, republic engineers decided to use the parts from the tanks to construct the cruisers they had ordered. Your Goal: (If you choose to accept it) Construct an alternate vessel using ONLY parts from the 2016 Clone Turbo Tank. This can either be done in LDD or reality. Upon completion upload an image (or more) to this topic. I suggest for the LDD creation that you use the following file: Clone Turbo Tank Sadly, due to my economic status there will be no prizes for a "winner." However, the best looking ship will most certainly join my fleet of Republic Vessels. The following vessels would be appreciated: + Consular-Class Cruiser + Pelta-Class Frigate + Aquarius-Class Light-Cruiser + Acclamator-Class Frigate + Venator-Class Star Destroyer I would share images of my failed attempt but I fear that its disturbing complexion my cause a disruption in your appetite or cause nausea. I thank you dearly for reading this long and rather odd post. I do hope that you attempt this challenge and post your own creation, whatever it may be! I wish you the best of luck, and may the alternate building begin!

Building up some rally car, its street (homologation) version Should be looking like this at the end Now it is like this Still don't know what to do with rear wheels. Maybe there will be those from 42039-1: 24 Hours Race Car with some custom wheel covers, so that tyres look fatter. Some tumbler tyres would be nice, but then there's no match for the front. Some kind of version 1.0 in the post (beginning of page 3) -
Hello folks! Tiny Turbos - does anyone remember this somewhat hit-and-miss Racers theme? Despite its discontinuation, moderately small interest in the 4-wide scale still persists on Flickr and MOCpages, and new pieces released are fueling fresh ideas among builders, myself included. One may find building a tiny car a very fun and rewarding experience - the key point to keep in mind is avoiding the overly dull and generic results, which sadly happens on many an occasion. Now, I am not too familiar with MOCpages, but this Flickr pool is a great place to start if you're looking for inspiration. Normally I wouldn't bother with creating a separate topic for such a car myself, instead turning to Flickr, but this one is somewhat special. Since I was building for a contest, I went all-out on it, made a bunch of renders and maximised the capabilities of virtual MOCing. The car is made up using exactly 60 pieces, and as far as I can tell should be adequately sturdy IRL. I used Metallic Sand Purple, which is a beautiful official colour that can be found (by legal means) within the depths of LDD. Rendered using Bluerender. Under-the-hood trickery included! Some obligatory animation, for there is no better way to showcase a car. A couple more "panoramic" images. Hope you enjoyed your stay and feel free to join in the fun! .)

The LEGO Agents have a new vehicle for their fight against Dr. Inferno! The Turbo Pursuit Vehicle is high powered and high speed. Ready to take to the streets and chase down the criminal element. Finally built some more Agents, I loved this theme when it came out and bought a lot of the sets. I built this a while ago and while there is nothing wrong with it, it is not what I was aiming for with the original idea. So I took a photo before I took it apart and started a new thing.
