Hotweels supercar 2015

[steph77]

Hi everyone

Here is a simple supercar i designed for my son.

He asked me :

-A red big race car

-A car that roll perfectly without friction

-A car looking like this ('this' was a microcar Hotwheels)

Ok.done.

Here is the result: not my best Moc but one of my son's favourite.

It features:

-full independent suspension

-4 speeds gearbox, no reverse

-scisor doors

-opening Hood and trunk

-adjustable seat

-HOG

Thanks for your comments

Here are, at least, some picture of the beast

The design as been upgrade, fixing some issues in the bodywork (holes)

I added a rear spoiler

the whellhouses have been improved

On this 3/4 view you can see the door's command witj a better ergonomy

The spoiler is a bit big (i know , but just a little...) My son love it!

Radical design on the rear with rasor cut of the back diffuser

Agressive design on the front.

The view from above highlights the car's hourglass figure and the curve of the wheel arches, note the aero opening at the chest that allows échapement the air flow directly to the mobile broadcaster

The 'most wanted view', which does not teach you much, flat bottom outlet of the diffuser and airflow to the rear discs. The axis of the gearbox go directly through the pannels (axis 16L). The panels of the flat bottom stiffens the assembly in the horizontal plane, assuring perfect stability of the axes of the gearbox.

Details of internal reinforcements triangulated and firmly attached to the frame

idem, note the use of a ball pin to lock the structure ,

Detail on the half beam opening control of the discrete and well integrated door's mechanics

Hood opening...

Here it is. Any comments or ideas are welcome

Very nice looking car, I like the spoiler

[Seasider]

That looks good. The wing gives it a GT3 type edge to it.

Looks awesome! I especially like the double panels over the rear lights. Nice touch :)

Pretty spot on I think

@steph77 Wow! Just saw this model on your YT channel - great shape from all angles! Do you have it still assembled?

[steph77]

Sorry, this model was from 2015... And it has already been disassembled

I asked, because I'm always struggling with disassembling models I really like. The result is that I buy more and more parts - e.g. I have the set 42093 four times already but still think I need another 42093 to keep my existing models assembled. I'm trying to limit that by creating digital models so they can be easily reassembled, but it's not the same than having the models in real.

Real-world problems, I know.
