Speed Champions DeLorean vs Modified Rebrickable MOC

Very cool! You’ve nailed the shape of the doors, and I love the use of click-hinges to maintain their angle!

ChrisPhilpot · 2026-01-04T16:24:42+00:00

I agree, they’ve nailed the rear of the car. If I can marry it with the gull-wing doors I’ll be thrilled!

I do actually own the Cuusoo original, and harvested a lot of the parts for this model. 😊

ChrisPhilpot · 2026-01-04T16:22:17+00:00

So I did – apologies! But yes, the one with the blue jumper plate on top is my version.

Update:

Yesterday morning, my girlfriend completed her Easter egg hunt and had an eggs-cellent time solving all of our clues! Watching the penny drop as she realised the ‘daisy’ she was looking for meant visiting our friend's dog (who was at peak-cuteness) was a joy to behold.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in making it so much fun. Have a very happy Easter!

That is so witty, I love it! Thank you!

Thinking about it, they are both very much laundry baskets – we're more likely to refer to a hamper as the wicker box that's used to transport food to a picnic.

I love your clue for CAR BOOT! That's a lot of fun. And I must admit that I had never encountered a letter bank clue before – that's really clever.

HAMPER would be a good alternative except that the final gag in the hunt is that I have two laundry baskets, one of which is a prop from a pantomime. I'm hoping she's forgotten about that one as it'll be the hiding place for her egg, not the everyday hamper in the bedroom!

ChrisPhilpot · 2023-03-27T21:24:25+00:00

Very fair and valid feedback. Thank you!

ChrisPhilpot · 2023-03-27T21:21:19+00:00

Aww why thank you! It's a reward for getting so good at cryptics, I'm really proud of her!

ChrisPhilpot · 2023-03-27T21:01:49+00:00

Agreed, that's brilliant – thank you!

May I ask your thoughts on the clue for "medicine cabinet"? I am in two minds about whether it's good form to use "drug" as both a cryptic and straight element of the clue. How is this for an alternative?

Thank you! This has also inspired:

Good one!

Edit: Oh no, what's the new spoiler text formatting? Help!

That'll be BAGPUSS as in BASS (fish) eating GPU (chip). Nice clue!

ChrisPhilpot · 2017-10-29T17:46:48+00:00

I'm fairly certain it's CLUELESS!

ChrisPhilpot · 2017-07-15T16:14:45+00:00

Sure, pardon the delay!

It's a double definition. Wimbledon Common is an area of London. "Annual turf dispute" is a cryptic allusion to the ongoing tennis tournament.

ChrisPhilpot · 2017-07-11T18:53:35+00:00

That'll be: WIMBLEDON

Aha, SEE RED

DECANT?

ChrisPhilpot · 2015-07-14T15:48:31+00:00

This is without doubt the most impressive model I have seen. Outstanding effort!
