The Fifth Element : Korben’s Taxi & the Police Car

I chose to submit Korben Dallas' Taxi & the Police Car from the cult classic The Fifth Element!

I absolutely loved this movie when it came out. As a huge fan of the director and his early films, I even had the book showcasing all the incredible artwork, costume designs, and set preparations created by legendary figures in fashion and sci-fi comics.

Building those car was no easy task. Every time I started with an idea, I quickly realized how challenging it was—those vehicles are made entirely of curves, and curves and LEGO don’t always mix well! But that’s exactly what makes these builds so exciting. You end up flipping bricks in every possible direction until you finally crack the perfect design!

(This build is in part taken from the project I submitted during the first chapter of this challenge.)

I really hope this project resonates with fellow fans of the film. It was also important to me to make it minifigure-scale to maximize playability and fun!
