@ buriedbybricks: Working back through the archives is indeed worth it. All kinds of little treasures and unique ideas that didn’t get bandwagoned, but are well worth exploring further.

@buriedbybricks - The clown tank is awesome...which is why we blogged it here back in 2008. ;)

Really great build! And that ‘Clown Wars’ tank is hilarious! I’m suprised I haven’t seen it blogged!

Nerd trap – brilliant idea! Looks like I got snared then.

Actually, I’ve used that trick too once or twice in the past (tee hee – but I’m not telling where, though!) :D

Keep up the great work, dude!

PS: Don’t suppose you were at Pixar during the Hanrahan era, by any chance?

Thanks for the compliments. To set the record straight- the *sand purple* 4073 is an intentional AFOL “nerd trap”. I figured that anyone who might care that that piece does not exist would know that it does not exist (which is what I think you are pointing out- good catch). It is actually a light-bley piece slightly altered in Photoshop. Other than that everything else is legit.

Sweeeeeeeet!

I’d love to know where he got a *sand purple* 4073 for the buttonhole!

That is FANTASTIC! I love that attention to detail.

I actually thought about making a Carl Fredricksen out of LEGO’s, but unfortunately, I don’t have the variety of LEGO that most of the AFOL’s have. If I did, I wouldn’t be writing this right now!

Once again, AMAZING!
