LEGO ambulance (June 2010)

This MOC would be corresponding to a Lego creator or classic model as it isn´t minifigure size. But in this case my dad (the author) managed to add more details like the red cross, which could have to be done with a sticker in a compatible-with-minifigure vehicle.
Though if you analyse it carefully it seems to fit in well with lego figures, the only doubt is if it would look the same with creations suitable for figures together. Maybe, as this is a classic version, I could try to build a modern one and add more details on the wheels or perhaps the side mirrors to a different shape. These look well with this creation but they wouldn´t suit a modern ambulance because they´re mostly for trucks and normal car ones would be better.

POLICE 4x4 (2016)


front view

 When I am in the mood of playing around with my lego I normaly build minifigure sized vehicles to use in a game. It is just a police suv because the only piece I had was this one (in the picture) with a sticker saying police but this model could be a Land Rover Discovery, a Land Rover Sport or probably a Volvo XC90. Inside the space is for one minifigure though it has a kind of storage place where you can fit a suit case or a weapon. Unfortunately I couldn´t find a totally transparent front window so I had to put a blue one.
In these pictures the driver is actually a Star Wars Naboo starfighter pilot but I thought it would look cool with this particular figure.

Even having these nice suv effects this MOC uses  most of the same structure and techniques or maybe it simply has other details such as the engine-easy but very impactful to the design.


Down in the last picture you can see the base of the car. This is different to the normal structure but also very simple and efficient.

LEGO beyblade (2015)

This post is going to be focusing on one of the most popular ´spinning tops`: Beyblades.
I have had the idea to build 3 beyblades and a launcher and prepare an ultimate experiment to test them to their limits.

Galaxy Pegasis: According to my tests (without the launcher) it has been the most succesful and actually one of the most simple compared to a big bang pegasis. The only way of being beated is if the other two team up. His secret could simply be its balance as it shows the highest average of finishing in the spining posture.

Ray Unicornio: In my tests it has shown to be at the level of the big bang surprisingly. Its structure ables him to have more speed but with his lack of stamina the things aren´t that good.

Big Bang Pegasis: In my opinion, in real life, big bang is better than galaxy. But these measurements have proved me wrong. Though by analysing this case carefully, the major reason to this must be its weight and the energy it needs to actually do its best.

Still, these beyblades aren´t the best I´ve done. My uncle and me worked on better models that reached rare times of one minute!

P.S. Sorry I didn´t do the calendar this month. I was out in a trip and I totally forgot about it :(
