Robin: "Jumping Jigowatts, Batman! Are you telling me that you built a Batmobile... out of a DeLorean time machine?"
Batman: "The way I see it, if you're gonna to build a time machine into a Batmobile, why not do it with some style."
All in all a fun set, but I decided to take a pass at trying to make the DeLorean set more like the original Cuusoo wining design. This version has a wider grill, roof and utilizes the original roof piece for the hood. I ran into problems and I'm not entirely happy with the results. I now better understand why TLG compromised the way that they did. I think that if a modified 1x1 round with clip on top existed, the build would be much more elegant. I'm sure someone has done a better job at this.
This car appeared in the famous ,,Back to the Future" series as a time machine. Many of the lego versions of this car are inspired from the movie, so I wanted to build the real version of it.
This is my second attemp of building the DMC-12. You can see my first version here: www.flickr.com/photos/razvy_cluj_ro/sets/7215762829474866...
This is my take on the Back to the Future DeLorean time machine. I wanted to make it as accurate to the movie as possible including the lightning rod, Mr. Fusion, etc. as well as being able to hold figures.
Another thing I really wanted to do was to put transparent bricks in all of the windows, because most MOCs just leave the windows empty. I also decided to include opening doors, despite the fact that they're pretty fragile.
This is actually the second time I have built this vehicle. The old one was extremely disproportionate, so I decided to have another go. I'm much happier with it this time around.
This is a derelict Delorean that is now setting beside a wood pile near Duffield, VA. The car is pretty much complete, but is full of leaves. At least its not going to rust away.
My quest for the best possible minifig DeLorean in silver continues. I lenghten the back by two plates, now it seems less chunky, I rebuilt the whole timemachine equipment on the back, seems fairly accurate compared to the studio model. This part is tricky, since it's very difficult to sort out the pics of the real car and copies that were built all around the globe. Movies don't help, too dark, to fast, not enough detail shots. I am thinking about replacing the middle row of silver plates with black, there is a plastic line along the doors.
Photo réalisée avec un appareil que je n'ai possédé que quelques mois, un formidable Konica Minolta Dynax 7D. Il m'aurais permis d'avoir eu la chance de photographier cette legendaire Delorean DMC 12. dans les rue de Paris.
Sur cette photo passée en B&W je n'ai gardé qu'en couleur les feux arrière de la voiture

Photo taken with a camera that I only owned for a few months, a fantastic Konica Minolta Dynax 7D. It would have allowed me to have had the chance to photograph this legendary Delorean DMC 12. in the streets of Paris.
In this photo taken in B&W I only kept the rear lights of the car in color

(I'm aware that there are new electric DeLoreans being produced, mine takes place in an alternate timeline ;) )
After the DeLorean Motor Company's bankruptcy in 1983 and its subsequent acquisition by the DeLorean Motor Company of Humble, Texas (which was originally started to provide parts and services to owners of DeLoreans after the company's bankruptcy), the DeLorean marque remained a defunct cult classic. However, as of 2013 the company decided to revive the name with redesigned DeLoreans, updated for the new millennium. Features include carbon fiber body panels, energy-saving LED lights, and a 3-chamber rotary engine that produces 500 horsepower, putting the car solidly in the muscle car bracket. DMCH is aware of the brand's cultural significance and cult following, and included many small homages to the original DMC-12 in places such as the dashboard and the upholstery.

I feel like these are almost old hat at this point -- I've seen multiple of them in museums and I even saw one on a random evening commute on the freeway in San Jose a while back. But still an icon.
The Christopher Lloyd LEGO Dimensions ads got me eager to finally scale down my LEGO Ideas time machine down to six studs so it would be in scale with the rest of my 80s stuff.
I thought it would be a simple task, like it was with my Ecto-1. Just pull out two studs from the width. But, Great Scott, I ended rebuilding the whole car basically from scratch. And I'm pretty happy with it.
It doesn't have gull wing doors and it doesn't seat more than one minifigure, but it does convert to hover mode (thanks to swappable axles) and it uses all the Ideas set's printed details.

I spoke to the owner of this car, i help him put the cover on it after taking these pictures. The owner told me that he imported this DeLorean very recently from America. Has a French PRV (Peugeot Renault Volvo) V6 engine at the back
The only 5 photo's remaining of this full-on photoshoot. I lost them all in a hard-disk crash many years ago. One was left on another device, the other 4 I had to steal back from Autogespot.nl where only the "spot" itself was left. The full photoshoot has been lost there as well... So unless I ever trace back the owner, this is all that remains of this one fantastic day shooting around and inside a DeLorean.
There is one place however... I made a 25 minute video back then which includes all the shots taken that day. For the real enthusiasts: vimeo.com/12693149
