Carcraft Lego Challenge

The people at Carcraft have challenged bloggers to come up with an action scene using Lego and Carcraft will choose a winner from the entrants to win a £100 Lego set! We were sent the Lego City High Speed Police Chase 60042 to create our story...


Okay, I admit it, my other half took over and made this with a little help (hindrance) from the children! He's a bit more graphically talented than I am - plus he really wanted to do it, so I let him! The entire comic strip was made using just the 110 pieces in the High Speed Police Chase set, which has a suggested age range of 5+ and was absolutely no challenge for our 5 year old. We even let him put the stickers on himself...



Carcraft are the country's leading used car supermarket and have 11 showrooms nationwide where they also service and MOT vehicles, and as far as I know they don't actually sell bikes!

Update - we won! Huge thank you to the people from Carcraft for choosing our entry amongst what was a great selection. Best of luck to everyone entering the 2nd challenge!

    1. Nope. I still maintain "Pants, we've got company" is the best line from any comic strip ever...
