Nathan Proudlove brings us good ol’ Mack from Pixar’s Cars.
Nathan built Mack to the same scale as fellow Flickrite Allister McLaren‘s Lightning McQueen and Mater:

Australian 86-wheel road train
British builder Ed Diment (who you may remember for his 22ft long model of the USS Intrepid) worked with TBB’s own Ralph Savelsberg – a master of Miniland scale brick-built vehicles – to create this awe-inspiring Australian road train. If you’ve ever done the great Australian road trip, you may have run into one of these behemoths bombing down the long lonely highways between the country’s major cities …and then wondered how on earth you were gonna safely overtake it!
Road trains down under usually come in double or triple trailer combinations, so I’m not sure on the legality of the douple-triple that Ed and Ralph have put together here! The way the green and yellow stripes on the cab continue along the tops of all the trailers adds a nice color accent to what might otherwise be an entirely monochromatic model. And check out this stowaway that the driver found hanging off the back of his rig:
The LUGNuts holiday spirit
LUGNuts founders Lino Martins and Nathan Proudlove recently posted a pair of holiday-themed vehicles sure to stoke your Christmas spirit.
With “Santa’s Slay,” Nathan shows us what Santa (and the late Rudolph) would do after Santa retires from the old Christmas game:
Meanwhile, a very sexy Ms. Claus joins Santa aboard his 1930s era bike, as built by Lino:
Scared of Snakes?
This car, by Firas Abu-Jaber, is out to get you.
I meant to blog this right after it was posted, but I forgot. I’m not perfect, okay? Anyway, it deserves to be showcased, as its freakin’ sweet! I’m loving that giant snake too.
Hot Rod “Jam Jam”
Afraid of Clowns?
If so, you’ve got coulrophobia. You should also stay away from Lino’s entry in the Fear and Loathing Challenge. He calls it “I Scream”.
Miniland-scale FDNY Seagrave ladder truck by Ralph Savelsberg
For the November LUGnuts Fear and Loathing challenge, Ralph Savelsberg faces his fear of fire, heights, and loud noises with this FDNY (Fire Department, City of New York) ladder truck. The ladder itself extends, and the truck is covered in Ralph’s signature stickers.
See more of Ralph’s fire engines in his Fire photoset on Flickr.
A Sliding Scale of Plymouth Rocks
Ed Diment and Ralph Savelsberg have built the Plymouth Rock in multiple scales. From Micro to Mega and everything in between, these cars rock!
Woof.
Psst, everyone, remember why we’re here? LEGO is awesome. Check out this cute Boston Terrier by Mike “Count Blockula” Crowley:
Lino gets all passionate
Lino Martins is a great guy. But he’s even better when he’s rendered in Miniland scale. Sporting his trademark goatee, Lino poses with Passion, built for the “Color Me Strange” Challange on LUGNuts.
Ponda Baba
The indomitable Mike Crowley is on a roll. He has blessed us with yet another incredible Star Wars miniland character. This time its Ponda Baba and his trick arm.
He’s done it again...
The extremely awesome and prolific Mike Crowley has built two more Star Wars characters!
I give you Muftak and Kabe:
