Dave Collins’ superb Lego recreation of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E could soon be headed to a shop shelf near you, having passed a vital stage in its approval by the plastic brick maker.
Collins’ model was submitted to Lego Ideas – the platform on which fans of the bricks can post their own models, with the potential for them to become a real set – in April, soon receiving the backing of Renault UK. It has now received 10,000 public votes of support, meaning it will be passed to Lego insiders for review.
