[Moc] Bugatti Chiron

[Ron Dayes]

Whilst ive recently been taking a break from building, here is a little something i wanna throw in just cause i found some time for this:

Bugatti Chiron

Its going to be an SC Set next year, so i was inspired to make one in my own scale of 1/42.

6 studs wide                = 2m        (real data wikipedia 2,04 m)
13,5 studs long            = 4,6 m   (real data wikipedia 4,5   m )
3,2 vertical studs high  = 1,1 m  (real data wikipedia 1,2    m)

Minifig is 170 cm high (average human height male + female sizes due to wikipedia)

So, i got very close to the real size proportions this time ;)
Its a bit lower than it would need to be, but since the tires are a tiny bit smaller than "large rims", it helps keep the wheels looking a little bit bigger!

what do you think? critique and feedback welcome!

going to repeat my sentiments from MOCpages (I know you are fazing that out)

going to be the critic here and pick at this a little. the nose bothers me a bit having the 2 cheese wedges sticking forward past or equal to the "grill" (half round plate) while the real car the grill is the very front most detail. the sides are lacking the signature curve, but I have no solution for that to offer, your unique style and proportions just don't seem to be friendly to that particular detail. and lastly the tail feels long for this scale.

all that said this is immediately recognizable as a Bugatti, and is a very sleek car. I'm sure you've exhausted options already on this and I'm always impressed with the details you achieve in such a small package. (not to mention each car you build makes me want to find time to build some new cars my self)

hm, yeah - critique well deserved on this one! The nose aint my favorite on this one either, not having that on the same level is a pity. Maybe a 2x1 tile with an oval sticker on it would be the better choice to smoothen that out...

I measured the wheelbase and length - its almost absolutely accurate! It might appear long, but its for example a whole stud less in length than my Aventador - which is about 30 real cm in that scale^^. The thing that is, hmmm, rather unlucky, is the "missing" of something more "slanted/curvy" at the tail from a side view. Maybe a cheesepiece inverted beneath it could be an option....
