BigCatBoy Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Hello guys. I finally finished everything to show the '32 Ford, previewed in the Icon Bronco topic. It's a bit late. But, that's not all, the car has a partner! It is a '56 F100 pickup. Let's get to the point, now: The Model A is built with a tapered body, and a chassis with hinged frame rails that made the body possible. It was tricky to get working, but I figured out a way, and even LDD worked in getting the angled body sides built. Rear shot. All opened up, with a removable hood piece. The rear trunk is nice and big. Interior shot, simple design, no fuss. Sorry about the dust... Better detail of the engine, mimicking a 5.0 Coyote motor. Not too big, no too small. This car's all about comfortable cruising through town, none of that fast and loud business. Here is the chassis for the car. Another chassis shot. Faux suspension bits; a working suspension couldn't be made unfortunately. Anyways, that's the '32 Model A. Onto the truck now! Here she is, a '56 F100, my personal favorite classic Ford truck. Rear shot. The truck has two side exhaust on each side. All opened up. A 6.2 engine; it could be a Ford or Chevrolet V8 engine, most likely Ford. The chassis! The frame rails, where it rises up to go over the rear axle, has a structural problem, which is solved when the cabin and bed are placed on the frame. The rails could separate if enough weight was pressed down on the very center of the chassis. But, the bed pushes against the cabin, preventing the frame from separating. I may fix the issue later on... Interior shot. Another interior shot. The two together! This might be a tradition of mine. It is an info image using LDD screenshots. And, a sneak peek of my next build! Hint: It has a custom setup inspired by a black truck in a movie about going 88 mph. Expected release date: pretty soon actually, it is 100% complete and all photos were taken. It may be about a week or two... Check out my Flickr page for more photos of the Fords!

LEGO Guy Bri Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Awesome set of cars. Love the detail on the chassis and engine and the color choice was perfect. Very well done Quote
gmshades Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I'm a Chevy guy, but this is awesome!!! Just needs a matching trailer so the truck can haul the car. Quote
Zerobricks Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) They are an awesome pair! I really like the chassis details, its nice you put so much effort in them even though they are not usually seen, Edited November 30, 2014 by Zblj Quote
OzBen Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Outstanding, You really nailed the front end on the F100 Well done!!!! Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Fantastic models. I love the amount of details that you have put in every aspect of your cars. I actually like them even better than the Bronco. More curves, cooler colours. Very well done. Quote
750ACE Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 These models look fantastic. Great color,design, framework. I agree a trailer would be a perfect edition. Quote
sm 01 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I love them! Great details, very nice color combination and perfect shape... Amazing work! Quote
Appie Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Awesome details, I like the amount of details you put in the chassis alot. Especially considering that stuff is pretty much hidden from view. Quote
Lundgren Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Amazing!!! Love the realistic frame on the Rod! Quote
BigCatBoy Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Thank you everyone. They were quite interesting to build. I wish to make another 32 Ford in the future, but that's not really finalized at the moment. I'm a Chevy guy, but this is awesome!!! Just needs a matching trailer so the truck can haul the car. Thanks. I'm not really a Ford guy either, I just like all cars and trucks. It just so happens my first few creations are of Fords. A trailer is done now, and I hope to unveil it sometime soon. Fantastic models. I love the amount of details that you have put in every aspect of your cars. I actually like them even better than the Bronco. More curves, cooler colours. Very well done. Thanks. I like these better than the Bronco, too. The Bronco was quite the learning experience, especially in designing a build in LDD and then bringing it to life, lots of mistakes to fix that I never realized... Concerning the trailer, everything wrong with it has been fixed, I just need to wait for a nice day to take pictures of it. I hope to upload it soon. I may edit the original comment and add the pictures there. Quote
Doc_Brown Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I freaking love these! Great job. :thumbup: Quote
