The library skews heavily European: a lot of supercars, a fair amount of construction machinery. The Dodge Charger is a proper change of pace. American muscle from 1970, made famous all over again by the first Fast & Furious film, now in 1,077 bricks. One of our members built theirs and sent in photos, which is exactly what I like to see.
Dom’s Dodge Charger
The real car is a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, one of the more recognisable American muscle cars going. The film version had most of its bodywork stripped back for the race scene in the original film. The LEGO version goes the other way and gives you the full road car: wide haunches, long bonnet, low roofline. The shape is well captured.
It is one of the more unusual things in the library. If you want a break from another Porsche or another supercar concept, this one delivers something different without being a difficult build.
Rent this kit
The V8 has working pistons and sits visible under an opening bonnet. It is a decent feature on a kit at this price point. You get the satisfying moment of lifting the bonnet at the end of the build and watching the pistons move when you roll it.
Thanks to the member who sent these in. If you have built one of our kits and want to share photos, send them to [email protected]. I post every one we get.
This is exactly why I like putting member builds on the blog. The official images tell you what a kit is supposed to look like. Member photos show what it feels like once someone has actually sat down, opened the bags, and worked through it.
If you have just finished Dom’s Dodge Charger, send over a few photos. It does not need to be a full studio setup. A clean table, a finished build, and a few notes on what stood out are enough.
Build it, return it, build the next one
Monthly membership gives you access to the full library. No buying, no storing, no selling on. Build one kit at a time and swap when you are done.
