Some of our younger readers will not remember the experience of scrolling the camera film forward after taking a photograph. Indeed,  before the automatic whirring that signalled the end of the film, cameras had little turning levers to manually winding the film back into its protective housing. This LEGO version of an old camera in 1:1 scale was built by Andreas Lenander as a gift for his dad.  While it is not a specific model, I did think it was reminiscent of the old Leica cameras with their black and silver bodies,  and a selection of turning knobs and switches on top.

The king of awesome little LEGO camera’s must be Chris McVeigh, who also generously shares instructions for his builds on his own website. If you like the camera we highlighted above, you will definitely enjoy Chris’ LEGO Polaroid camera.
