Vintage Lego Builds

Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

Idea Book 1 : Tiny Basic Vehicles

Welcome to the guide for building a selection of charming LEGO creations inspired by the classic designs of the LEGO System 1 Idea Book, page 1, tailored for kids as featured in the “For the little ones” section. The constructions highlighted within the green circles include a variety of simple yet imaginative vehicles, utilizing basic pieces for easy assembly. On this page, you’ll find step-by-step instructions and a complete inventory of parts to recreate these delightful models, such as the airplane, truck, boat, crane, train and a cargo ship, perfect for sparking creativity in a vintage LEGO town layout. All these have no wheels as the only vehicles with wheels at that time were the pre-assembled metallic car miniatures.
