Lego Excursion

Was horsin' around with the kids today and decided to recreate my Ex in lego form. The TT is a kit but the Ex is all home grown.





And the lego Ex with the Ex...

Hahaha! I thought it looked like a Sprinter van but Legos are quite limited with angles. It does have "lift blocks" on it. My original build was too low and van like. So I put on some V/B blocks I wish there were more tire options but that's all I could find in the giant bucket-o-spare-parts.

But hey, the tow mirrors fold back and there's even tow hooks up front

What kind of hitch is on that thing? Looks like the truck and the trailer sit fairly flat.

With the kids.... yeah right... sure, we believe you.... with the kids. It's ok that you play with Lego. You don't have to use the kids as an excuse. Love the window shot. Much better perspective.

I've been thinking for a while now that if someone sold a scale model of an excursion they could probably sell one to a lot of us big kids on the board... but I've searched and haven't seen one.

I've seen a couple scaled down versions, but they were the pimped versions...like the ghetto drug dealers mobile. I did see another one from ebay that was a fire chief version in the UK.
