LEGO builder Martin Spunkt presents a satisfying amphibious Volkswagen Schwimmwagen. It’s rugged features, heightened stance and oars assures us that this little beast can do some serious off-off-off roading right into the water. It’s a far better ride to haul band equipment around than the ’54 with a mashed-up door. He situates the vehicle in a grungy garage setting; a white zone, so to speak, which I presume is for loading and unloading only. My question: Is Martin even aware of the Frank Zappa reference staring us right in the face? Sound off in the comments if you’re in the know.
Thanks for this article – of course I’m aware of the Zappa reference, that’s why I recently changed the letters from Joe’s Cars to Joe’s Garage. This is my blank background to show new cars I haven’t taken on the road yet. If you’ll take a look at the album there are pics of the Schwimmwagen in water.
It wasn’t very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums
