Bricksonwheels Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I rarely build cars, but a tricked out Cadillac Fleetwood Le Cabriolet lowrider in 1/10 scale had been on my wishlist for a while. After some extensive research on lowrider technicalities and Cadillac 1980s frame design, I started work. This model is constructed out of 100% genuine Lego bricks; many retro-chromed with plating on plastics true chrome technology…. so actual true metal layers there. The gold parts however are sprayed. For the first time I used UV printing technology to apply a mural directly on the bricks on the trunk lid. The only non-Lego parts are some wires and the ‘Rollerz’ club logo, which is lasercut from Acrylic. All in all a lot of new technology to support this build. Hope you like it!

Milan Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Probably the best brick built lego car. All the added stuff just makes it better. I have followed this building on the flickr, and was amazed with each photo. Very well done! Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Definitely one of the most impressive car seen!! Love all those details on the engine!!!!! Wonderufll!! Quote
Milan Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Why it is in Technics forum?! This is also ModelTeam forum. Quote
aeh5040 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Stunning! I had to really study the engine to understand what parts I was looking at... Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 It's so shiny, and so nicely colored) Great model, i like how it looks. Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 First green car that I've seen that really looks good in that colour... Very brave choice! Quote
zux Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 So much love put into details, looks great! Which tires did you use as they seem to be a bit stretched I believe? Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Thnx all! Tyres are 62.4, to simulate the real geometry, Quote
Technic Jim Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 That is just staggering the amount of detail you have managed to put into that one car. It is so realistic and shiny... Quote
Blakbird Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I used to own a 1984 Fleetwood, so this really brings back memories. Yours is a lot nicer than mine ever was! Quote
rm8 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Masterpiece! The best big scale model team I ever saw Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Those are big compliments! Much appreciated! Quote
MaxSupercars Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 This is also ModelTeam forum. Why was the Lamborghini Veneno moved to Special forum? It was said that it is Lego Creator... What's difference between this and Veneno? ... Very nice Cadillac... :) Max... Quote
BusterHaus Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Wow, that's an incredible MOC. I am such a sucker for chrome. Is there a reason why we don't see (m)any official chrome parts from Lego? Do they get scuffed easily? Quote
Rishab N Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Awesome MOC. I love all the chrome- it really adds a lot of flair to this already great model Wow, that's an incredible MOC. I am such a sucker for chrome. Is there a reason why we don't see (m)any official chrome parts from Lego? Do they get scuffed easily? Probably because chrome is expensive to produce. I still would like to see more parts in metallic silver though Quote
Paul Boratko Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Gorgeous...! Very smart design.. :thumbup: Why was the Lamborghini Veneno moved to Special forum? It was said that it is Lego Creator... What's difference between this and Veneno? I'll admit, I was very disappointed to see a fantastic model-team style car like that built by one of the top car builders in the world moved to such an obscure forum only to lose the attention that it deserved and get buried... I have a Technic based website and I am promoting that model on my front page.. Quote
