Let see your Lego Overlanders

Here is some Christmas themed Lego back country action

Is that a kit or your own design? ^^^^ Looks great!

I just started acquiring legos for my 3 year old nephew! Gonna build a small play table to replace the Thomas the train one he has currently. Cant wait!

Thanks, it's my own design. Sure your nephew will love them ...

This is my Tatra based camper and Westy Syncro!

Most of my Legos are 30 years old. I do have a few parts mixed in from my kids' newer sets. Still- this thing uses only basic parts- no fancy pre made parts.

Cool, the wht / blk one is huge, more in the category of a tiny house on wheels than an expo rig

Threw this bad boy together this evening. You'll recognize some of the pieces and basic design from the original post.

EDIT: It actually looks more like the white samurai from earlier.

Only change I would make is de-tune it a bit and lose the blower for being an Expo rig

Breathing some air back into this one ...

Since my first car a ’67 convertible Mustang and someone in our neighborhood around the same time having a 4WD ’68 Mustang coupe, I have thought about building a four wheel drive Mustang on and off. So finally taking a step in that direction with building a Lego 4WD ’67 convertible Mustang.

My go to truck when I was a kid. Cage was usually out of the back and lights were off the roof. Added a trailer hitch to the back to pull whatever I needed to pull. I converted it to an SUV for awhile with panel windows and a hatchback but it was stupidly tippy with the spring axles. Currently collecting parts to build a green one inspired by my Ranger.

My current work in progress. The proportions are not right and still very much in flux, windshield frame is temporary. I need to just order springs for it because apparently they go fast at my local used Lego store. I need to get the suspension figured out so I can get the chassis itself finalized. It is hard to find green bricks too.

Cool, remember the Amazon Crossing set from way back

25 years later I just noticed I built it wrong to start with. I don't remember it ever having the gray fairlead type thing under the winch. Ever. It certainly does not now either. LOL

It's one of the sets that I love the most... still have it, and in great condition...

As a kid I played a lot turning my 80's Lego cars into 4x4s, here's how they stand now (the red one is meant to be a replica of my old LWB Samurai in the back picture):

The raft was one of my first kits.

My first actual lego kit was this one:

Truck was neat, it didn't last long though. In retrospect I wonder if it was inspired by a Toyota troop carrier. I think about every large airplane I built had the rear windows on the sides of the cockpit...

Even in 1994 the guy was working on his instagram..
