  1. It's been a while since I've been here but I simply couldn't stay quiet after seeing this - very well done Bruno, you created yet another masterpiece. Too bad it's not a Ferrari, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to get everything needed to build it (I'm not really big fan of McLarens and my lego shelf is pretty much full already, or will be once I finish the last models I have here).
  2. It's coming quite nicely, I guess this is going to be my summer project. Quick question - how difficult would you say it would be to make it without PF / pneumatics? I prefer manual cars as I build them mostly to just sit on a shelf and look pretty :-)
  3. Wow, I have to admit that you guys are much faster than I anticipated :) Are there any notable rare parts besides the headlights (I already ordered those) that I should start buying? I am really looking forward to building this car.
  4. I think this red version uses more "colored" parts than original - in render I spotted some pieces in red that were originally black, so I guess that's were this is coming from. Anyway, it's great to see instructions for this car as it (along with Francesco) deserves a wider recognition :)
  5. Thanks a lot of that photo, it shows that it actually is bigger than the more common 1:10 cars. I will be hoping for instruction to come at some point during summer - already made first order to get my hands on enough orange panels, flex axles, wheels and those front headlights, so I guess I can say I'm already committed :)
  6. These measures are completely sufficient - it seems that your car is more or less same size as 1:10 DTM cars. It just looks bigger on pictures because of the new Porsche wheels (Porsche is noticeably bigger than other cars). Hopefully there will be instructions in the future - once they are published I will most likely build it. I will surely keep my eye on this thread :)
  7. This is one good looking car, I really like this one! I am looking for a model that could fill last spot on my "DTM" shelf and this one seem to be the right fit thematically. And on top of that it's orange, which is a great addition in color diversity :-) I will be eagerly waiting for instructions ;-) @DugaldIC Do you by any chance have dimensions for this car? I'm trying to figure out how much bigger it is from "regular" 1:10 scaled MOCs.
  8. @Lipko don't sell yourself short, your Audi is still an amazing model, it is just different style of building (which I am glad for - it gives this tiny DTM collection a bit of diversity). @technic_addict I want to give my cars a bit of individual touch so usually I add some chrome parts here and there. I ordered 4 sets of chromed wheels from Gabor a year ago, one set for each chrome color he was offering at that time - red, orange, silver and titanium black. I immediately loved titanium black chromed wheels so I decided to wait for the right model to use them for. And thanks to Bruno I found that right model. I'm sorry to hear that Gabor is in hospital - hopefully he will get well soon.
  9. Yet another great model from you! It's difficult for me to judge this car as I had been seeing whole progress from the very beginning but there is one thing I can say - it is a very sexy looking sports car! All mechanical functions work without any hiccups (engine, gearbox, shifting mechanism, doors, steering), it is visually striking model, instructions are great and easy to follow and no semi-advanced Lego Technic builder should have any problems with them and there are even professional stickers available for it. The only "decent" thing (it's not bad by any means, just not as great as the rest of the car) are front headlights. They look good from front view but a bit empty from side view. But I have seen quite a few different versions of them and I have no idea how to make them look any better, so I'm not really in a place to criticize here. Here are some pictures: And pictures of whole DTM lineup - Audi RS5 DTM 2013 by Lipko, BMW M4 DTM 2014 by BrunoJJ and Merceds-AMG C63 DTM 2015 by BrunoJJ: Great job, Bruno, and I can't wait for your next project!
  10. This model looks good, you made a lot of progress in quite short time with your bulds. I like red version more than original black one - when it comes to Ferrari, it simply has to be red :) However, I really doubt that the real price to build red model will be around 300€. From my experience I would say double that amount (well, depends on where you live). The least expensive MOC I ever built was Predator by N. Kuipers - and that car was specifically built with keeping parts availability in mind (plus it has around 500 parts less). And even that was around 400€.
  11. It looks great - the rear part (from side view) looks a bit too high but model as whole is still instantly recognizable. The front is stellar and I really like "leather" interior :) Some time ago I was thinking of starting small Technic Ferrari collection, seeing that red is the most common Technic color and the amount of Ferrari MOCs out there, but seeing that 2 of the best models are exclusive (Brunos LaFerrari and now your 308 GTSi), it might not be worth it at the end. Anyway, great job, your customer must be a very happy person :)
  12. nice one - but I kinda have to admit that I like the blue version more. When I was building mine after I was done with ordering needed blue axles, there are only 2 blue left in total on whole bricklink for quite some time :D
  13. So shipping estimation changed to 7th of July - my problem right now is that I don't know if my order is still active in their system or not. Money they charged from my card is back on my account, order status says "backordered". I'm not sure now if I should create another order when it gets back to stock or not...
  14. I guess F40 is not exactly the most "technic-friendly" car to design - front hood is basically long, continuous arch, which is very hard to imitate with bricks/panels. You set yourself for a very hard task :) But I think Competizione version might be a bit easier to make, mostly because of much bigger air-intake holes on top of the hood. By the way - not being satisfied with your creation is a good thing, that's what drives people to learn and get better :)
  15. Looking good so far, I like the idea of trying to reduce parts count. I don't know how much of a redesign you are doing but I am really looking forward to your new version of F40 - I might put it to my Ferrari "collection" after all. What keeps me away from your first version is the front hood - I simply couldn't see a much of an F40 in it. Plus 18x 44 - those are quite expensive (thankfully there are no #3 angled connectors).
