[brickdater]

Hi guys and gals!

I'm new to eurobricks and I wanted to show you all what I've been working (on-and-off) on for the past year. I just posted this to the Lego Ideas site, so please take a look and tell me what you think!

Very nice Corvette! Like it!

[Bricksley]

It looks at basically well but I think that cabin is a bit tight. Blue and white is a good combination :)

[Paul Boratko]

Someone had shared this on Facebook yesterday and I think I seen it at Brickset... It truly is an amazing piece of artwork...

[Jeroen Ottens]

Cool car, I like the details around the doors and the interior

[grum64]

Well you certainly know how to make an entrance!

You've done a brilliant job of capturing the lines of the 'vette and I think your choice of colours is great. It looks awesome!

Consider this build supported

[BusterHaus]

The curves on this MOC are great!

[jantjeuh]

Gorgeous, extremely well done!

[Chapachuk]

Very good, can you post some more detailed pictures. Some very nice details you did. How you did back lights, cant recognize the white bricks?

I reckon he used one of these, or a peice with the same 'serrated hole edge' with a pin with stud and the red plate inside the hole. (These come in white)

Good job on the interior, very detailed for the size.

Great work. You should enter this in the Model Team competition

Close. The tail light is a combo of part 41533, a technic pin, and a round plate:

A rod runs through each pin (red rods for the outer lights, and white for the inner reverse lights)

This thing would look great sitting right next to Madoca's Corvette! Great work!

Unfortunately it is 18-wide :(

Madoca's Vette is on a whole other level. Super recognizable detail on a working chassis with lights, etc.? Unreal.

Wow the curves are simply incredible, nice work piecing it all together.

Awesome model! Just have support it on LEGO Ideas.

[filsawgood]

Awesome model! Very relistic! great combination of colors!

[Kierna]

Awesome, I love Corvettes

Great job capturing the shape. I like the colours, too.

9/10! (I'd say 10/10 if it had fat high-proile tyres)

This model is doing very well on Ideas. Maybe the best among the Model Team-like models.
