Modulex Guy Posted September 26, 2011 V-LV-33F This is a LEGO Toyota ae86 Trueno from the popular anime series InitialD The car is built as a five wide and features tons of unusual building techniques to achieve the correct shape while keeping it 5 wide and minifigure scale! Only thing I cheated on with this MOC is just a tiny piece of double stick tape to hold the headlights on. :( There was no other way to really attach the flip up lights without making it look odd. Enjoy the pics: And of course I have to have the Fujiwara Tofu shop! More pictures can be found in my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51480565@N03/ Comments welcome!

lightningtiger Posted September 26, 2011 Very nice, I like it a lot 'Polish Guy' ! Lots of tile and plate action there plus so much cool SNOT work too ! Brick On Drive On 'Polish Guy' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted September 26, 2011 As a fan of the Hachi Roku and initial d, I like it, my only complaint is the hood or bonnet is way too short, you have that hatchback for being longer than the hood/bonnet. Otherwise kudos on a nice build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Out of Sight Posted September 27, 2011 Another great moc from the 'camber guy' LOL :thumbup: all your mocs have that distinctive minus wheel camber,I like it a lot. The hood is too short I agree, but overall it's unmistakably AE86. Anyway since most of your car mocs are based on Japanese anime and car cultures, I would love to see you make more of them in bricks: - Nissan Skyline KPGC10 - 'Hako Suka' - Nissan Skyline KPGC110 - 'Ken Meri' And since camber is your specialty...make one 'bippu' style cars (VIP style) such as this with extreme minus cambers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph_S Posted September 27, 2011 That's a pretty amazing amount of detail for something this small. I think that is generally pretty hard to build a car that is small enough not to completely dwarf a figure next to it and make it look like a particular model. You did a very good job with the Porsche you posted a while ago and with this one too. Cheers, Ralph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinioncorp Posted September 27, 2011 Absolutely love this, PolishGuy! Unmistakable as a Sprinter Trueno, my only complaint is is the horrible trans-light blue windscreen (my pet peeve). Trans-black would probably look more fitting, and let you standardise the colour across the whole car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trans-black would probably look more fitting, and let you standardise the colour across the whole car. I know, I do not like it either, but I ran out of trans-black, so blue it is for the time being. And to those who say the hood is too short, it is not really THAT short, the 1:1 car also has a fairly short hood when looking at it from a side view, also I tried making it 4 studs long and it looked way more out of proportion that the 3 studs... to be perfect it would have to be 3 & 1/2 studs long (which I have not figured out yet) And for "Out of Sight" i will definitely be building more JDM cars, I'm going VIP next.
