Fourteen years on Flickr, and I’m still finding new stories in the streets of Dublin—this whimsical scene at Grand Canal Dock stole my heart! A row of Dublin Buses, tucked up in their ‘bed’ behind the garage, caught my eye with the playful graffiti declaring ‘PAST YOUR BEDTIME TOYS!’ The bold street art, with its quirky shapes and vibrant colors, dances across the wall, while the canal’s gentle ripples add a serene contrast. I love how these buses seem to be dreaming of their bustling routes through the city, resting up for another day of ferrying Dubliners. What do you think—are these buses ready for their morning adventures? #DublinBus #GrandCanalDock #StreetArt #DublinMoments #GraffitiMagic #CityVibes #UrbanPhotography
A dimly lit, nostalgic peek into a Baby Boomer’s garage workspace. Cluttered, chaotic, complicated, yet deeply intimate. This scene is a time capsule of blue-collar pride, hand tools, worn-out parts, and layers of Cleveland Indians memorabilia. Long after the name change to the Guardians, this space holds on tight to tradition.
Basking in the sunshine at the old 31A terminus on Strand Road in Howth. Strand Road, part of Shuelmartin, had many route variations over the years, with buses looping or terminatiing & continues to do so with the current route 6 to Howth Dart Station via the Shielmartin loop.
Back in 2016, Clontarf Garage ALX400 AV 285 takes the honors above as a route 31A to Shielmartin Road.
A new equipment has right arrived in the Oldtimer VW Garage: the car lifter. Now it's easier to check the Vee Dub.
Soon the T2 will be back fit.
Enjoy!

At last I got my copy of "The Art of LEGO Scale Modeling", the coffee table book displaying the most beautiful and detailed scaled LEGO vehicles, edited by Dennis Bosman and Dennis Glaasker (No Starch Press).
I'm honored that my Volkswagen Workshop is featured in this fantastic book, so a special thanks to Dennis Bosman and Dennis Glaasker for this great opportunity.
Don't miss the book, it's a treat!
You can read my review of the book on Itlug (Italian LEGO Users Group) web site: The Art of LEGO Scale Modeling review.

This year Officina Super Sprint turns twenty and to pay tribute for this important anniversary I built the LEGO model of the “Officina”.
Officina Super Sprint is a Vespa specialized workshop. It was founded in 1995 by two friends, one of them is also an AFOL (Adult Fan Of LEGO) known as Norton74…yes, that's me!
My new MOC is called “Dream Garage” and follows “Garage Life”, the oldtimer Volkswagen workshop I built and presented last year.
“Dream Garage” features many tools and details. Let’s take a look.
A wooden workbench, with wrenches and vise, is positioned at the center of the workshop. On the left of the workbench is positioned the sandblaster.
There’re two wide windows and two big sliding doors. Details are everywhere: checkered flags, advertising signs, trophies, extension cords and more…
There are also a mobile roller cabinet with four drawers, the air compressor (a little bit hidden, behind the right lift), the oxy-acetylene welder, the electric welder and the column drill press.
In the middle there are two hydraulic scissor lifts to easily work on the Vespas.
Last but not least the Garage features three Vespas: two Vespa PX and one Vespa T5 (the one with the square front light).
The front shell of the Vespas is inspired to Arvo Brothers one.
I built the Vespa Workshop last winter and now here it is.
I really enjoyed building this workshop and I hope you guys also enjoy this my new brand LEGO model.
All the best and happy building!

My T-BUCKET seems not feeling too well this morning. "Garage Life" team is working hard, they know where to put their hands...
I'm sure, they'll repair it in a few time.
My LEGO T-Bucket has the two-seater body of a ’23 Model T roadster with a back turtle deck (inside there is the gasoline tank). A Model T radiator is fitted and a powerful Chevrolet V8 small-block with a Supercharger send power to the big rear tyres.
The body and the turtle deck can be separated by the chassis and you can see the transmission.
It was fun to build it and it surely will not stay alone…

This is probably the last VW transporter of my series, at least for a while... :)
It's a sandblasted T2 bodywork ready to be painted. Here inside my "Garage Life".

Few weeks ago I presented my custom version of LEGO set 10220 (VW T1 camper van), the canvas pickup for road service. After having built it I decided to design and create the model that replaced it, the iconic VW T2, introduced in late 1967 and built in Germany until 1979. The T2 is also called Bay or Bay Window.
I personally prefer the T2 than the T1, in my opinion the front is more appealing.
My T2 is a classic “2 seat” pick-up in blue. The pick-up configuration was very widespread in the seventies, both in Europe and in the USA.
The T2 has surely been the most loved van/pick-up by the surfers of all the world. So I placed two surfboards on the load compartment and I put close to it a classic LEGO palm tree from pirates series.
My T2 has two side doors below the load compartment, that is made of wood.
Two S.E.V. MARCHAL supplemental lights are fitted on the front bumper. These were very common in the seventies. The rear hood can be opened and you can see the classic air-cooled boxer engine.
In a little toy store I found for a few Euros a tin model of VW T2 (I love old toys and tin cars/trucks); it’s identical to the one I built in LEGO and so I bought it right away and I took pictures of the two pick-up side by side.
Enjoy!
Besides my passion for LEGO bricks I've always been involved in vintage car and motorcycle issues and I have always been fascinated by “garage life”.
For this reason, after having built the last few years almost exclusively 1/13 scale trucks, last winter I devoted myself to a new project: a workshop for vintage VW Transporter (especially T1 and T2).
The idea comes out from LEGO set # 10220 which I bought in 2011 and has remained MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) until a few months ago. Then I built it transformig it in a canvas pickup (I presented it 3 weeks ago on flickr and MOCpages).
In order to build the internal of the workshop I watched my real garage where I used to spend a lot of time restoring and repairing old motorcycles and bicycles.
There are many tools and details in the workshop. Let’s take a look.
A workbench, with wrenches and vise, is positioned at the center of the workshop. There are also a mobile roller cabinet with four drawers and the air compressor. Beside the workbench is positioned a column drill press (is one of the pieces that I prefer in this moc).
Close to the right door there is the oxy-acetylene welder. There is also the folding engine crane.
There are others little details in this garage which I like very much. Thanks to Stag (and his superb moc “Hangar”) and Konajra (and his great moc “Oldtimer restoration”) for the inspiration of some details.
Last winter I spent many nights to build this workshop and I'm very satisfied with this MOC.
Soon probably others Transporter will be recovered in this garage…
That’s all folks!

My love for Bulli is clear to all, I suppose... these shots pay tribute to the iconic van for its 65th anniversary.
Happy birthday Bulli!
Production of the first Transporter from Volkswagen began on 8 March 1950.
In the initial years, it was built in Wolfsburg, then starting in 1956 in Hannover. This date also marks the beginning of a unique automotive love story. Because today the entire model series has attained cult status. Whether hippy or tradesman – everyone is driving in the T-series.

A workbench, with wrenches and vise, is positioned at the center of the workshop. There are also a mobile roller cabinet with four drawers and the air compressor. Beside the workbench is positioned a column drill press (is one of the pieces that I prefer in this moc).
Close to the right door there is the oxy-acetylene welder. There is also the folding engine crane.
There are others little details in this garage which I like very much. Thanks to Stag (and his superb moc “Hangar”) and Konajra (and his great moc “Oldtimer restoration”) for the inspiration of some details.
Last winter I spent many nights to build this workshop and I'm very satisfied with this MOC.
Soon probably others Transporter will be recovered in this garage…
That’s all folks!
This year Officina Super Sprint turns twenty and to pay tribute for this important anniversary I built the LEGO model of the “Officina”.
Officina Super Sprint is a Vespa specialized workshop. It was founded in 1995 by two friends, one of them is also an AFOL (Adult Fan Of LEGO) known as Norton74…yes, that's me!
My new MOC is called “Dream Garage” and follows “Garage Life”, the oldtimer Volkswagen workshop I built and presented last year.
“Dream Garage” features many tools and details. Let’s take a look.
A wooden workbench, with wrenches and vise, is positioned at the center of the workshop. On the left of the workbench is positioned the sandblaster.
There’re two wide windows and two big sliding doors. Details are everywhere: checkered flags, advertising signs, trophies, extension cords and more…
There are also a mobile roller cabinet with four drawers, the air compressor (a little bit hidden, behind the right lift), the oxy-acetylene welder, the electric welder and the column drill press.
In the middle there are two hydraulic scissor lifts to easily work on the Vespas.
Last but not least the Garage features three Vespas: two Vespa PX and one Vespa T5 (the one with the square front light).
The front shell of the Vespas is inspired to Arvo Brothers one.
I built the Vespa Workshop last winter and now here it is.
I really enjoyed building this workshop and I hope you guys also enjoy this my new brand LEGO model.
All the best and happy building!

Besides my passion for LEGO bricks I've always been involved in vintage car and motorcycle issues and I have always been fascinated by “garage life”.
For this reason, after having built the last few years almost exclusively 1/13 scale trucks, last winter I devoted myself to a new project: a workshop for vintage VW Transporter (especially T1 and T2).
The idea comes out from LEGO set # 10220 which I bought in 2011 and has remained MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) until a few months ago. Then I built it transformig it in a canvas pickup (I presented it 3 weeks ago on flickr and MOCpages).
In order to build the internal of the workshop I watched my real garage where I used to spend a lot of time restoring and repairing old motorcycles and bicycles.
There are many tools and details in the workshop. Let’s take a look.

That’s all folks!
Few weeks ago I presented my custom version of LEGO set 10220 (VW T1 camper van), the “canvas pick-up” for road service. After having built it I decided to design and create the model that replaced it, the iconic VW T2, introduced in late 1967 and built in Germany until 1979. The T2 is also called Bay or Bay Window.
I personally prefer the T2 than the T1, in my opinion the front is more appealing.
My T2 is a classic “2 seat” pick-up in blue. The pick-up configuration was very widespread in the seventies, both in Europe and in the USA.
The T2 has surely been the most loved van/pick-up by the surfers of all the world. So I placed two surfboards on the load compartment and I put close to it a classic LEGO palm tree from pirates series.
My T2 has two side doors below the load compartment, that is made of wood.
Two S.E.V. MARCHAL supplemental lights are fitted on the front bumper. These were very common in the seventies. The rear hood can be opened and you can see the classic air-cooled boxer engine.
In a little toy store I found for a few Euros a tin model of VW T2 (I love old toys and tin cars/trucks); it’s identical to the one I built in LEGO and so I bought it right away and I took pictures of the two pick-up side by side.
Enjoy!
