I decided it would be fun to create an Amiga Laptop with a case made from Lego. It's been a long-term project with Howard at Dubious Engineering - / dubiousengineering

It's a project just for fun, let me know what you think.

Since I won't be able to show you this week pictures of the finished #LEGO Mad Max models I designed, how about some renders?

A LEGO model render of the Mad Max: Fury Road vehicle nicknamed "Buick". It's a highly modified 1948 Buick Special 4-door Sedan with dually tractor wheels in the back, a heavy duty wheel kit in the front and a cut in the front of the hood to allow for a massive air filter. It also sports an anti-aircraft gun on a slew-ring turret on the roof.

A LEGO model render of the Mad Max: Fury Road vehicle nicknamed "Caltrop <a class=#5". It's a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado which body is covered in black pitch and lifted at the back while the frame itself stays level. It sports a machine gun mounted on the windshield and two seats with original dark red upholstery at the back for additional gunners.">

A LEGO model of the Mad Max: Fury Road vehicle named "BigFoot". It's a Dodge Fargo 1940 pickup truck sandblasted body on a monster truck chassis with a harpoon gun and a flamethrower mounted on the roof.

#LEGO update: Mad Max: Fury Road vehicles are visually striking, pretty well-documented without access to the actual movie and based on real cars, which makes them ideal candidates for my style of design.

See, it’s too hard for me to create a model from scratch, thankfully I don’t have to since people have been creating models for the stock cars that were modified for use in the movie.

I then recreate the model in Studio based on the instructions that I purchase on Rebrickable for around $5, and I start altering the design to match the Mad Max look, not unlike the actual process the movie production had to go through.

Hopefully I should have tangible results to show in a few days when I receive the remaining parts I need to build the first two models I designed this way.

I've received a notifications that one of my #LEGO packages was successfully delivered in Australia, and this place still doesn't feel real to me, even if I visited it twice.

There are many things I didn't expect before I started handling large quantities of second-hand #LEGO, but the grossest has to be how much stranger's hair I have to deal with on a regular basis.
