life-size – All about car

Just in time for the beginning of the end of riding season, LEGO has released a Creator Expert series Harley-Davidson Fat Boy model. And because it’s basically just what you do now, it’s also built a life-size replica to go with it. You can only own one of them, though. LEGO worked with Harley-Davidson to create the 33-cm model, which comes together from 1,023 pieces, including bits that make up a Milwaukee-Eight engine with pistons that pump when you spin the rear wheel; a moveable gearshift; brake; dual exhaust pipes; functioning kickstand; teardrop fuel tank; handlebar steering; and a speedometer. “It’s been exceptionally exciting for Harley-Davidson to collaborate with the LEGO Group — another brand that champions creativity and expression,” said Heather Malenshek, Chief Marketing Officer at Harley-Davidson. “Not only do we want customers to be inspired by the end result, we want them to enjoy the building process.”The set goes on sale August 1, or July 17 for LEGO VIP. Then theres the life-size model. Its not actually drivable like that Bugatti Chiron, but it does a pretty good imitation, with Wi-fi-animation control for light and sound effects, and silver-coated parts. It took LEGOs Master Builders some 865 hours to click together its 69,569 pieces.Harley and/or LEGO fans can check out the life-size LEGO Harley Fat Boy at select LEGO stores and Harley-Davidson

Life-size metal cut-outs of uniformed Mounties are being placed next to busy roads and intersections in Lloydminster, which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary. The city says the fake officers are part of a pilot scarecrow initiative aimed at discouraging speeders. It’s modelled on a similar project that started last year in Coquitlam, B.C. RCMP in that community said that within six months of introducing their police scarecrows, the number of drivers caught speeding by more than 10 km/h decreased by half. Glenn Alford with the City of Lloydminster said each cut-out costs about $325—a fraction of what it would cost to have a real officer monitor the locations. The new recruits aren’t much for conversation, but they have proven highly effective in their duties with other municipalities, he said. We expect this program will have positive results here in
