Sometimes you’re just in the mood to watch 163 minutes of brooding intensity, existential dread, and wondering if your friends are replicants. GolPlaysWithLego can surely attest to this as evidenced by this impressive LEGO concept LAPD Spinner from Blade Runner 2049. Its hard angles and utilitarian feel bring scenery to mind of rainy, dark cityscapes, quirky characters, and talking; lots and lots of talking, with occasional bouts of fast action and stunning scenery. A Spinner this slick deserves a closer look. And if you’re inspired to make a 2049 spinner of your own, we also include free instructions for Gol’s compact take on the iconic vehicle.
Gol credits the design to concept artist George Hull, who is currently involved with concepts for the next Blade Runner film.
About the LEGO model, Gol said it came out a bit Star Warsy, which makes sense as George Hull also worked on Skelton Crew and the SW sequels.
LEGO purists may want to avert your eyes as Gol tells us that while it’s mostly LEGO bricks, other brands went into this stunning build. But hey, how about those scissor doors?
Gol reduced the greebling on the vehicle’s rear in the concept for the LEGO model, adding instead a spoiler. I wonder if it disconnects like a drone?
Mind the edges on this Spinner. They’re sharp (and not just on account of that buzz saw greeble).
Gol is something of a spinner and hover car aficionado. Back when Blade Runner 2049 debuted, the builder made this miniature tribute to K’s slick ride. Even better, Gol shared free instructions for the Blade Runner 2049 Spinner so that you can build it yourself.
