For two years, a Swede has been building a 1:1 scale Volvo V70 out of Lego blocks.

The network is rooting for you.

A Lamborghini Sián for 450 euros with a working engine and gearbox?

No problem: it's available from Lego in the form of 3,696 building blocks, and 60 centimeters long when assembled.

Car models have always been an important part of building block suppliers' programs, ranging from small kits for children to complex technology sets with an age limit of 18+.

The true crowning glory, however, are so-called MOCs.

This stands for "My Own Creation", i.e. self-designed structures made of clamping blocks that can assume gigantic proportions.

Of course, it's not just always about cars in their original size, but also from time to time - like this Ford F-150 Lightning made from more than 320,000 Lego bricks or this Ferrari F40 made from 358,000 parts.

A comparatively simple Volvo is currently being immortalized as a Lego sculpture.

The Swede David Gustafsson has been assembling a total of around 400,000 building blocks with the well-known knobs for the brick dealer BrickScale AB for a good two years now and posting the construction progress again and again on social networks such as Instagram:

With great attention to detail, he designs technical parts such as the steering wheel or an elaborately designed fuel filler flap.

The knowledge of this is no accident: As his profile reveals, Gustafsson is the winner of the Lego Masters, a Swedish TV show all about elaborate building block creations.

Moving pictures of his Volvo can also be seen on TikTok:

There is no shortage of comments on the block show: the more or less serious postings range from "At least it doesn't rust" to "Wish you lots of success".

Quite a few wonder why the tinkerer invests so much energy in a well-behaved Volvo, of all things, but someone already orders the next one: "Volvo V50 please".
