I'm not too sure about this one. Can you top it?

Build a Mini Cooper out of LEGOs and post pictures of it here.

 

LOL, if I still had legos I'd be all over this.

Looks good though!

 

This one is pretty sweet.

 

Not too bad. Did you build that one?

 

Nope. Just googled it.

 

Here's another thread from NAM on a Lego Mini Cooper...

My son is 13 and I still have drawers of Legos. I'm I hinding this post? You bet!

 

Here are a couple more from google searches.

I see msh441 built one...



So, is anyone up for trying to build their own?

 

I downloaded that custom lego builder program, and it is pretty complicated. I guess it would be easier if I was a 10 year old. LOL!

 

One thing I don't like about it is not all Lego parts and colors are available for you to choose from

 

OK, here are a couple variations I came up with...



Next time I think I'll try to build a bigger one.

 

Are those ones you actually ended up buying? They're pretty sweet!

 

Nope, these are my own creations

 

No one's up for a challenge? Come on peeps, lets see what ya got

 

I've got tens of thousands of pieces of lego lying around, but don't quite have the time right now to make a Lego MINI. One thing is for sure, if I did make a MINI out of lego, it would have working doors, engine, steering, hatch, the works.

I really need to get back into lego. Since I was around 5, I would always build things. Ah, the memories.

If I do eventually get around to it, I'll make a mention of it on NAM.

 

But would it look like a Mini?

The Mini Cooper's curves are pretty hard to duplicate in Legos. Especially if you plan on making working doors, hood, and hatch.

I'd like to see what you come up with

 

We should get MINI on board with this so they can commission the pros to do one, like this volvo.

 

Who knows, I have no artistic style whatsoever.

I might have gone a little ahead of myself with the working doors and hatch, but it would be interesting to motorize the engine and have steering as well. It would be even cooler if I could somehow make a supercharger out of lego and when the revs go up, you can hear the whine. Unlikely though.

 

v3, but still need a few more pieces

 

 

 

Is that a Joey mod?

 

That was trying to scrounge up the parts I was looking for. LOL

 

 

wow, you're really getting into it!

 

So I went a little crazy ... I think I'm over it now...
