Lego is quite widely known material not only among children, but also fans of constructing in general. As a rule, there are no difficulties in the formation of lego fakes, because from this constructor you can do absolutely everything, and today, the subject of our short review will be such an interesting and entertaining topic "how to make a car out of lego".

There are different types of cars.

When it comes to lego parts, it is good when there is variety and choice. If the choice of parts is limited, then you have to think and work with what you have. At this point we want to consider two options, assembly according to the instructions from the set, and self-assembly lego-machine with your own hands.

Topics and ideas

Having said a few words about the constructor itself, you of course understand that there is nothing complicated about assembling from the instructions, and now we are smoothly getting to our main body of knockoffs. Lego knockoffs, by the way, get special attention among children in the category of knockoffs for kindergarten and school.

And parents then how much fun to help with the work, there is no need to buy paints, paper or other supplies. Everything is ready and available at arm's length.

For what occasions you may need a fake:

  • For a paper or presentation,
  • For a homework topic for school,
  • For developing motor skills for kindergarten.

What makes lego so useful?

  • Legos develop thinking skills.
  • Legos stimulate fine motor skills.
  • The Lego constructor is strong enough and easy to use.

 

IMPORTANT: When working with small parts, make sure that small children do not swallow them.

 

  • You can leave the child alone to play with lego at age 3+.
  • Stimulates the child's imagination.
  • Expands the inner world.
  • Encourages finding a hobby.
  • Gives a target to get from the idea stage to the design stage and completion of the craft.

This is not all that the Lego constructor is capable of, however, in this case we are interested in the last point, namely, the stage-by-stage production, from the idea to the finished product. Now on the example of simple and interesting ideas, we will see how you can make a car at home from lego.

Police car

Surely many people dream of becoming law enforcement officers or love the theme of catching "villains and criminals". Even take your favorite children's cartoons, which always accompany the theme of justice, the struggle of good and evil and justice.

A striking example and motivator can be the cartoon "Zveropolis", which tells us the charming story of rabbit Hopes and her best friend Nick. To motivate your child, you can use this image and suggest the idea of making a police car. How to make a police car from lego, let's look at the options.

To begin with we should decide on the color of our transport. Canonical police cars from the cartoon have a black and white. On this and start, but if there is no color or a child insists on his imagination - do not limit your imagination. Let the car will be with a mixture of bright, different colors.

The car can be large or small, there should pay attention to the number of available details. If possible, make a comfortable and compact model for you. Another issue when you are working with a specific set of lego. The weight is simple, you don't have to invent anything, you just assemble according to the instructions.

In the same way you should approach the assembly of a police car, but with one exception. Download or make a picture of what you need to make a model of the car. First, it will visually facilitate the child's task of constructing, and secondly, set a specific goal to stick to the color, location of the windows, scale and other parameters.

Where and on what topics you can make a fake car:

  • For work with the rules of traffic.
  • For professions, telling what kind of car drives a doctor, the police or the military.
  • For free subject matter.

As you can see, there are plenty of pitch formats. You can take anything as a basis for additional ideas. Next, you just need to decide on a set of available parts and make a lego car.

Types of car:

  • Ambulance.
  • Fire car.
  • Racing car.
  • Patrol car.
  • Fantastic car.
  • Survival car.

What interesting cars can be taken as a basis?

  • Lightning Mac Win from the cartoon "Cars" and any other characters from the series.
  • Jeep car from "Jurassic Park".
  • Original existing cars.

 

Note that your lego knockoff may or may not contain wheels. It is not necessary that the car actually drives, although in this case, the fake can turn into a favorite toy.

If you don't know what to make wheels from or how to get out of a situation where you need exactly a car on wheels, but you have an original machine on the controls or a small model, then take the idea.

Creating the body on a ready-made car

As you understand, working with the body will be voluminous, and involves creating on an existing, ready-made base.

Ideas can be how to make a zombie apocalypse lego car from anywhere, but, for children at an older age, we suggest an interesting motif, how to make a zombie apocalypse lego car.

Zombie Apocalypse Machine.

In today's film and game industry, this theme is already quite widely known and does not scare anyone. There are plenty of good-natured and interesting games with dead people, but now we offer you ideas for zombie machine theme.

On that theme you can find and see quite a lot of pictures, where you can find inspiration and a sample of what you want to do. You should pay attention to the theme, as the machine can be simply futuristic or the machine can be modern, but with the addition of certain details in the functionality. Which ones?

Survival theme will tell you that the car should be big, able to hold things, spacious, sturdy, and most importantly, contain additional wheels, tanks of gasoline, water, and so on.

In the post-apocalyptic car variant, you can make a bias towards assembling a car from junk. Such a car can contain several parts in one, as in the Mad Max: Fury Road movie theme, or the car can be intimidating. It can be decorated with weapons and other details that add to its formidable appearance.

As you can see, the theme of the car for a Lego knockoff is quite broad and varied. Do not limit yourself and your child in ideas, try and experiment, create not just a car, and the car plane (the movie "Taxi" immediately recalled oldfag fans).

Create and create as you want and as your imagination wants, and most importantly, then let the child tell about his creation. Who knows, perhaps with this passion will be born idea, and in front of you will be the future architect of the new Formula 1 car.
