The four lego Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition renders are the colour schemes hatched up by the two little Miss lego911s whilst watching dad have some rendering fun (see F-150 and the Cafe Racer One at the Golden Gopher).

Not necessarily the colour scheme I would go for myself, they do reflect the little Miss' personality and style. They liked the big truck (liked riding in a recently borrowed F-150 Raptor), but wanted to imprint their own style.

Taking a leaf out of the wonderfully photographed 2012 Harley Davidson Motorcycle brochure (and website), are these two backdrop shots.

The scene is the Golden Gopher bar, used as a backdrop for the 2012 Harley Davidson 'Forty Eight' - a great looking, classic bike.

For my rendition I have used the backdrop for a LDD rendition of the miniland scale 'Cafe Racer One', a submission for Flickr LUGNuts 55th Build Challenge - ' Shiny Side Up, Runner Side Down' - celebrating all things motorcycle-like. A short frame, fat rear tyre, exposed forks, and low hand-bars denote a street fighter. Chrome-ringed radiator shroud, single exhaust pipe show a bit of high-street credentials. Other styling elements include a egg-form tank trim, single dial intruments and single, small headlamp.

Also included in this picture is the 2012 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition, also rendered in LDD at miniland scale.

Miniland scale motorcycles are not straight forward to build, but are a valuable diversity to the miniland scale automotive streetscape.

One of the sets of the Indiana Jones Lego Themes was Nr. 7682 Shanghai Chase.

Identifying the models in the movie was somewhat difficult though. The lead car, shown here was pretty straight forward. There were not very many Boat Tail Speedsters built during the 1930's, and the archetype was the Auburn 851.

The chase car was harder to track down though. As a movie 'The Temple of Doom' was released long before the internet and digital media - and hence 'doesn't exist before the internet'. I will endevour to identify it one day and build it also.

Fortunately our eager-eyed readers identified the car for me as the 1927-31 REO Flying Cloud. REO was a car company founded by Ransom E. Olds (who earlier founded Oldsmobile - later part of General Motors) in 1905. Car production ensued, through to 1935. The form continued, by manufacturing trucks and busses through the Second World War. The company struggled postwar, and was reorganised in bankruptcy in 1954.

The 1927-31 Flying Cloud and 1931 Royale were the zenith of REO's automobile quality and production, but like many firms of high-class automobiles in the US, the stock market crash and Great Depression left a fatal blow to the company's fortunes (capital, facility and manpower).

This Lego model recreation is created in miniland scale. For this model the chassis includes steering, rear suspension, and a straight-three (equivalent to straight-6 package) lego piston engine.

This Lego model had been created in Lego Digital Designer for Flickr LUGNuts 54th Build Challenge - "LEGO Set Overhaulin" - celebrating all things Lego with recreations of original sets. The REO model has been created later to accompany the earlier Auburn 851 Speedster

Just some work to keep my hand in on some recent sports cars and Porsche in general.

Modelled here in Lego Digital Designer is the latest Porsche Boxster (model 981). Sharing much content with the latest 2012 Porsche 911 (991), the Boxster is aluminium intensive and larger than preceding models, notably in the wheelbase.

The model here exhibits a lego piston engine in boxer (horizontally opposed cylinder) configuration, mounted centrally within the wheelbase. The car has independent suspension, front and rear. Having the engine in the middle of the car frees up two luggage areas, one in the nose, and the other in the rear of the car, behind the engine.

The new Boxter share styling cues with the propose Porsche 918 mid-engined sports car, moving away from the traditional round headlight treatment. Otherwise, the styling and body form is very familiar from earlier Boxster generations.

Back to the Auburn. Part of the exclusive Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg company, the Auburn was the lower of the marques, though its cars were stll glamourous and highly sought after. Unfortunately the combine did not survive the great depression intact and folded prior to WWII, in 1937.

The 851 Speedster was one of the last models. The architecture was conventional. Straight-eight engines, separate chassis and rear-wheel-drive. The Speedster body was the highlight of the range that included more sedate styles.

This Lego model recreation is created in miniland scale. This is not the first time I have drafted this car. For this model the chassis includes steering, rear suspension, and a straight-four (equivalent to straight-8 package) lego piston engine.
