jensbrix Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi guys, New member here, but I've watched this site for a long time. After not playing with LEGO since I was a child, I got an internship at LEGO last year which got me started on some building again. I just made this Formula 1 car from a 42022 set. Except for the rear tires being swapped from the original chunky ones, I'm pretty sure every brick is from the set. It was tricky to figure out how to make the body with so few body panels, but I ended up liking the outcome so much that I felt like sharing it :) Anyways, enough talk, check it out: Sorry for the bad image quality, unfortunately I only have the camera in my phone. I hope you like it :) Cheers Quote
bonox Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Impressive! I've always been awed by the ability of people like you (and N Kuipers etc) who can make extraordinary things from just the parts in one set - and use practically all the parts too, not just pick a huge set and only use a small portion of it.

Immo Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Very cool! Great idea and execution. How does the steering work? Quote
Nazgarot Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 That's cute! Very nice design for using so few parts!! Does it have any functions apart form "fake" motor and steering? -ED- Quote
BusterHaus Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Welcome! That's a very nice C-Model you built. I like the shape of it quite a bit. Do you have a picture of the underside? Quote
timslegos Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Great looking racecar, it captures the lines well. I got an internship at LEGO last year which got me started on some building again. Sorry for being a bit off topic but would you mind elaborating? I am looking to get an internship at Lego next summer. Tim Quote
jensbrix Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 I just made it one stud longer and took some better pictures for you: Very cool! Great idea and execution. How does the steering work? Unfortunately it doesn't. There's no steering function, it just has loose suspension to rotate the wheels. Making a steering function would be an impossible tight fight with the front layout, and for me it's all about the aesthetics :) Does it have any functions apart form "fake" motor and steering? Nope, that's it! Do you have a picture of the underside? Done :) Sorry for being a bit off topic but would you mind elaborating? I am looking to get an internship at Lego next summer. Tim I'm studying mechanical engineering in Denmark, and applied for a ½ year internship in LEGO's engineering department. My work was mostly concerning production quality of new types of bricks, with regards to injection molding and strength. Was nice to be able to work for such an enormous company as LEGO! Quote

No, but seriously, that part would be awesome for camshaft/transmission connectors. Quote
jono rocky Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 So simple'n clean and yet very well done. awesome job. Quote

First, I have no idea, and second, all knowledge I have of future products is highly confidential :) So simple'n clean and yet very well done. awesome job. Thanks alot :) Quote
MacKaiwer Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Very nice, clean and cool lookin' F1 I like it a lot, it looks so much better than original A or B model Great work! Quote
