OK, the car industry is about the worst industry to be in right now with the recession and all putting company after company in bankruptcy. People just don’t buy cars anymore in the same pace as they used to. maybe it’s because we try to save money for more important things now when the world has a black looming cloud hanging over pretty much everything that has to do with money. OR, maybe we just can’t afford it right now with all the “let go’s” that’s details each and every newspaper each morning and evening.

Whatever the reason is…go with LEGO if you need a new car. Building blocks are cheaper now and you have the great choice of choosing whatever car you want. Depending on your level of patience building it.

Here you have a Volvo entirely build in Lego. However, I must say that looking through the front window seems a little hard at the moment. I would suggest you put transparent blocks there instead. Just my 5 cents…

They usually build these things in CAD before they build it for real out of LEGO. But still it must have taken ages!

Yeah, from a distance it really looks like a real car. The scale of details they have managed tin incorporate into that car is amazing.

seriously though. whos the tard saying it’s photoshopped? Do you even have a reason? For one it’s existence can be confirmed by typing LEGO VOLVO in google and finding out all kinds of info about it. Casler is right, there’s always some idiot who can’t wrap their head around the idea that there are, in fact, people talented enough to make these LEGO sculptures. First off, they’re designed in CAD before a single brick is layed out. And if you “look closely” you can plainly see that all shadows and reflections on its surface are perfect, therefor it’s fargin real. Friggin Haters, thats what you are. Bravo to the people that made this VOLVO, very impressive work.

Yup, seach for it using Google and they might find all kinds of information.
