As someone raised on Lego, I have great respect for UK engineer and British Lego designer, Dave Collins.
Using around 1,200 pieces he has created – over six years – his own version of the radical new £140,000 Renault 5 Turbo 3E electric ‘mini-supercar’ in brick form.
With the French car manufacturer ‘fully behind’ the project, he needs 10,000 signatures on the Lego Ideas website to persuade the famed toymaker to put it into production.
Challenge: Dave Collins used around 1,200 pieces and the project took over six years
Dave, from Newton Abbot in Devon, said: ‘I had Lego and Technic as a kid and, as an engineer, I have an inherent need to design and love getting details right.’
He said his wife and daughter are ‘insanely proud’ of him.
