Hi again. Cars cars cars - one day I must build a building. Inspired by Robert McLean's minifig HZ ute (whose mirror design I've also used here), and Braith's call to 'keep the Australiana coming', I built a minifig scale FJ Holden. This one became even more of a half stud offset nightmare than the bug, but I just had to get that middle section 5 studs wide. I'm not quite happy with the rear roof section, but I think the bonnet turned out particularly well. For the non-Australians out there, there's a concise histor of the vehicle here: http://abcasiapacific.com/nexus/stories/s668011.htm Now the pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/almac/FJ-Holden/fj-holden1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/almac/FJ-Holden/fj-holden2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/almac/FJ-Holden/fj-real.jpg I have built this in real Lego but I'm still not yet blessed with a decent camera, so CAD it is. Cheers Allister

Beautiful, hope to see it in the flesh/ABS one day soon. I really like the harpoons as bumpers, and the lightsabres too. I must hurry along and make some numberplates for these things... (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.town)
