I’m liking this model of a Peterbilt 359 car carrying truck by bricksonwheels (also on MOCpages) as well as the fancy schmancy cars it’s carrying.
It has an amazing amount of detail inside and out, making the entire photoset worth checking out.

Bohman’s new battle machine
Although an infrequent builder, Linus Bohman impresses us with his innovation when he builds. His new creation is a battle machine that not only boasts a twisted design but also an intriguing backstory. Visit the Flickr set to see both!
Warszawa parade
Adam Grabowski (misterzumbi) built the Warszawa, a Polish automobile from post World War II. The memorabilia in the photos makes for a great feature that adds an nostalgic authenticity to the gallery.
These are craving the open road
...to punish and enslave.
Lino runs like a Deere
This gem is how Lino rolls on the farm. His John Deere tractor sports a roll bar so you don’t have to worry about gopher holes flipping you under the mower.
Livin’ in the desert can be tough.
Aaron Dayman‘s entry to this month’s Battle Bugs challenge is cute and deadly all in one sandy-terrain package.
Thumbnail head-check
The best thing I can say about this model of a Jelcz 315 crane truck by Maciej Drwiega is that from the thumbnail I wondered if someone had mistakenly posted a real truck to a LEGO flickr group. To my pleasant surprise and awe, it’s all LEGO. Apparently I’m not the only one who thought so.
Holiday cheer, Lino-style
Lino Martins wishes everyone a very happy holidays, as Santa and Natasha make a second appearance next to this sweet 1966 Ford Galaxie, part of this month’s LUGNuts challenge, A Galaxie of Possibilities.

Ralph’s General Motors FM-1 Wildcat has scored a kill
Though it’s unlikely to supplant the F4U Corsair as my favorite plane in real life, I love Ralph Savelsberg‘s rendition of the venerable General Motors FM-1 Wildcat (also built by Grumman as the F4F).
As much as I appreciate the plane, I also really like Ralph’s presentation, complete with wheel chocks and the textured surface of an aircraft carrier (hmmm, sounds like another potential collaboration with Ed Diment).
Even more impressive at minifig scale, Ralph’s fighter has fully functional folding wings and retractable landing gear:
Soviet ZIL-131 pumper by Aleksander Stein
As Aleksander Stein notes in the photo’s description, North American and Western European fire engines are fairly common in LEGO form, while those designed eastward of the old Iron Curtain are more rare. Aleksander remedies this with his Soviet-era ZIL-131 pumper:
Both the front and rear wheel well designs are impressive. Inverted chairs enclose the rear tires, and I suspect that much of the rear half of the vehicle is built upside down.
Howitzer Motor Carriage M8
Is it wrong that I think this treaded engine of death is adorable? Apparently, the M8 is a real vehicle from World War II, but that stubby little cannon is really rather cute. Keep ’em rolling, Captain Eugene.
