Brian Williams has posted two fantastic LEGO creations based on the vehicles in the Indiana Jones movies.
The flying wing from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark includes a custom-made canopy (from the box of the Castle Tic-Tac-Toe set, so still technically LEGO):
The tank from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has custom decals and working treads:
I really don’t see a reason to combine Lego and nazi swastikas, but carry on..
the plane is just amazing! and the tank’s just as good
Because swastikas were in the movie?
Help! I can’t decide which of the two I like more!
Fabulous work!
I only wish there were instructions…. sigh …. How I would love to add these 2 vehicles to my Indiana Jones collection. These 2 works of art were/are so good, they inspired me to leave my 1st comment! :)
This is really, really well done.
I really like the flying wing, mostly because it looks like something LEGO could actually sell! They would have to take away some of the “realism” though ;)
And as long as the MOC isn’t glorifying Nazism, I’m fine with swastikas imho.
This was a highlight for me at Brickworld 2008. In talking to Brian I think he said he has created something like 34 Indy vignettes in his giant display with 20 more planned. Check out http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=294519 and http://www.flickr.com/photos/nannanz/2603721337/in/pool-brickworld to get an idea of the scope of his project. Go Brian!
Those two are… amazing. However, I also liked his “staff car”.
you’ve inspired me to make my own flying wing, btw i bookmarked this page

While I have no problem with the use of the hakenkreuz on this very nice looking MOC, I do need to point out that it is missing any balkenkreuz seen on all WWII era German planes, as seen here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rhorta/jgmark.htm
Unless the movie plane did not have them either. Then never mind!
Hello –
I really enjoy BW’s work.
Is there anyway you could help me get in contact with him? I need to ask him about his ‘Royal Train’.
