The Lego Steampunk or Lego Dieselpunk Hotrods

Lego steampunk is a lego genre that I only discovered about a month ago, and that allowed me to be as creative as I could be.

I hereby proudly present my, for now, two Lego Steampunk Hotrods.

My first model I called the Lego Blue Valve Rod, as blue is the main color and valves..., well lego steampunk is all about valves so the name was kinda obvious, at least for me.

The wheels are wooden tubs and the doors actually open. Other than that, in the lego steampunk genre, the worlds' leading technology is "steam".

Okay, let's have a look at our second Lego Dieselpunk Hotrod model: the Lego Red Gear Rod.

Again, wooden tubs for wheels, an extended front with all sorts of gears and stuff. The Lego Red Gear Rod is even more impressive than his little brother isn't he?

And again, the doors slide open and the hotrod is fired by steam!

ZZ Top's Eliminator Hotrod and the America Graffiti Coupe Hotrod

Time for some really famous hotrods.

I liked the ZZ Top Eliminator Hotrod so much that I just had to build one in lego, integrated with the Lego ZZ Top band on a nice diorama. The Lego ZZ Top Eliminator Hotrod is one of my favorites!

And who doesn't like the Lego America Graffiti Coupe Hotrod? This Lego Hotrod screams "yellow", just like the original model.

The ultimate lego theme hotrod collection

I had some imagination left in me after the Lego Superhero Hotrods and came up with some original theme hotrods.

Let's start with the Lego Bean Rod. Easy? Yep! The Bean Rod is based upon Mr Bean's Morris Minor, and I liked that moment where he was sitting in a couch on top of it.

Pretty awesome isn't it? I thought it was so. The paint job was easy, I took a look at his lego mini, and chose those colors. I even added a lego teddy bear.

Which one would Mr Bean prefere? If I was standing in his shoes, I'd take the Lego Bean Hotrod for sure. But you never know with Lego Mr Bean do you?

Maybe he would even prefer the next model: the Lego Clown Rod.

To give shape to a real lego clown hotrod, I had to get a bit creazy with the colors as you can see. And a clown needs a red nose doesn't he? And what about a horn? Anyway, nobody in his right mind wants to be seen in this hotrod!

Even the Lego US Army decided they needed a lego hot rod in Afghanistan, a lego desert rod, with camouflage colors.

And when they kill all the terrorists, the Lego Dr Death can come and collect them in his own Lego Death Rod.

The last one is the Lego Dragon Hotrod, a medieval version of our beloved vehicle.

I tried to give it some dragon-hunting-touches with the iron wheels and oil lamps, the red dragon wings and anti-dragon weapon system.
As you can see, in lego just about anything is possible!

The ultimate lego superheroes hotrod collection

Hi, this is my lego hotrod blog and I want to impress you with my hotrods, of which the instructions are available for anyone. All you need to do yourself is order the bricks at bricklink.com.

I made all sorts of hotrods, from famous hotrods to my own models, theme-models and superhero models.

Let me start with the Superhero models: The Lego Bat Rod is a creation that I made especially for our hero the Lego Batman, you can see all sorts of Batman related details like the wings, the little bat at the front, the little bat-bumper at the front and back...

On of my better models I believe and a unique gift for a true lego batman fan. You won't find this in any lego store. Actually, none of my models are available in stores.

Now, if the Lego Batman gets a hotrod, I guess so does Lego Spiderman, I don't want to be rude right... So here is my Lego Spider Rod.

What can I say? The colorsheme is very obvious right? Blue, red and white...

The roof is made of a lego spiderweb, and all over the vehicle you will discover little spiders.

If you say Lego Spiderman, I hear Lego Anti Venom! So I tried to also give shape to the Anti Venom Rod...

To create a sort of darkish theme for the Anti Venom Rod, I needed to use dark colors, so this model is all black and grey, with the exceptions of some white details.

I wanted it to be bigger and bad-der than the spider rod, with a really aggresive line, so the back wheels had to be bigger, to shape an aggresive hot rod. I hope I succeeded.

The last one in this series is the Lego Hulk Rod, now that was a dillema. I chose, however to give shape to a Lego Hulk Rod that fits a minifigure cause otherwise it would be impossible for me, because the lego hulk minifigure doesn't sit straight.

Obviously, the paint job was easy: green and more green. In this case I gave the Lego Hulk Rod some firing power. And when an angry Lego Bruce Banner drives a vehicle, well he needs some rebars for protection.

So far for the Lego Super Hero Hotrods...
