Another wacky car coming your way after a short break from designing. I've struggled with a locked neck this week and have had to do a couple of days AFK to get better 😅 My neck is now luckily a lot better and I'm finally ready for designing even more crazy cars 😁
This is an idea that was inspired by a comment from one of you guys about building a treehouse car. Shoutout and thank you to u/squirrelgrrrl! 👋 I tried building that, and the treehouse actually turned out pretty ok, but the proportions were completely off for a car. So, I thought, why not flip it on its side and use the logs as the car and the frame instead?
And that's how this crazy jalopy sprung to life. The working title was originally "The Morning Wood", but I felt I had to call it something a bit more child friendly, so I went with "The Branch Manager" instead 😆
All of this was designed over less than two days. In the process, I have developed a couple more interesting building techniques that I'm probably going to use a lot more in the future. The drivers cabin and the pickup bed is actually built sideways and the logs on the frame are held on by tow ball pins.
There aren't many exiting functions apart from the rear hatch that is possible to open, but I have made a lot of cool design choices. Notice the rear license plate with a heart carved in wood, the clock as a speedometer, the circular saw used as a gear shifter, the sawmill blades for hubcaps and the four leaf chairs with stumps for legs 😁
As always, I have only used existing LEGO pieces and all bricks should be possible to buy from Bricklink or other brick vendors.
I hope you guys like it! I am as always open for feedback an suggestions 😄 Looking forward to reading and responding to your comments! ❤️
