ETC: Lego Caterham Seven does Chapman proud [w/video]
Filed under: Etc., Videos, Toys/Games
A chap who calls himself "Sheepo" has a habit of making custom creations out of Lego bits. These aren't kits, these are the expressions of his own automotive imagination using traditional Lego and Lego Technic parts. His year so far seems mostly devoted to suspension builds and a Land Rover Defender, but his latest work is a Caterham Seven.
Sheepo keeps his builds close to their inspirations, this Seven constructed with working steering, double-wishbone front suspension and Ackerman geometry in front, a three-link De Dion rear suspension in back and disc brakes. A bit of liberty has gone into the gearbox, which is a five-speed sequential unit plus reverse.
At one-seventh scale it is 45 centimeters long, has 2,500 parts and five motors. It is also a Chapman-approved lightweight at just 2.2 kilograms. Check it out in the video below and the high-res gallery of images above.

I Want These Daft Punk Lego Minifigs More Than Their New Album
Daft Punk's next official album, Random Access Memories
Created by Jake Meier—who's got an entire Tumblr filled with excellent custom Lego minifigs—this Daft duo is truly his finest work. Everything from the miniature crate of colorful records to the tiny tone arms on the turntables makes me wish someone at Lego with influence—or a love of electronic music—will help make these a reality.
