Charbel Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 I think it looks fine now. Will try to put the small panel upside down, but I'm not sure that it would look better. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 As others have already chimed in, this is a great build. Also love the movie. The setting of work bench, car lifts, etc. is very creative. Love it. Quote
Didumos69 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I agree the model benefits from the improvements you made. The more I look at it, the more I like it. In my opinion, the somewhat sparse white panels and black parts filling the gaps between them, are the exact match for a true Technic model (as opposed to a true scale model). I'd say: Don't change a thing, it's perfect ! Quote
Aventador2004 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I'm afraid if you are any improvement, there may be nothing left to invent in the segment . Quote
jensbrix Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 After seeing these pictures, I'm also bigger fan of the new front. Can't wait for the instructions, at the moment I must say that this is the prettiest LEGO supercar I have yet to see. Astonishing bodywork and lines while still looking simple (eg. the body not being a mess of connectors and flex, which I often think some MOCs tend to be, no offense). Amazing work Quote
agrof Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I think You nailed it to perfection (sure there is always 1% to be find). Awesome curves, on pair with Madoca's Icarus. Maybe I would add 1L beam (available now in white) to the front bumper to connect the front grill area with the small panels, or similar solution. Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I like the longer grille piece! I would totally build this if I had the parts. Maybe you could move the lights a stud up? Edited July 4, 2017 by TechnicRCRacer Quote
Lipko Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 This looks absolutely awesome! The front, the back, the proportions, the paneling is elegant, the color scheme is also nine.And to say some critique too: the proportions suggest a front-engine chassis, not really a mid engine one... Quote
Lox Lego Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Wow... Truely speechless. The aggressive styling, low bodywork and creative solutions for a difficult supercar. You nailed it man! ??? Quote

Yeah, that's true. But, you know, this is not a real car so there is no real rule on how to do it. Quote

D4Man Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Honestly one of the best supercars I've ever seen. Great work! I was just curious is there any chance you can share more photos of the chassis: preferably of the front and rear axle? As well a picture of the top of the car to get a better grasp of the design? It would be much appreciated. Once again, great supercar!! Edited July 9, 2017 by D4Man Quote

If you want to see the chassis and the front suspension (which is similar to the 42039), I have all of the pictures I took while building the car : https://www.flickr.com/gp/143412814@N02/v48559 Quote
brunojj1 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Awesome work again! Cleanest design, nice shifting mechanism, not one expendable part used . The black/white combo allows you to hide big gaps and you did it masterfully. This is not critics - but after the LM racer and Volcano you probably may look for a challenge in some other colors with your next one ? Quote

Thanks ! I would love to do my 720s in orange but we are still missing the #5 and #6 panels in this color. So, unless these panel are released in the 1H2018 sets, I will stay with my regular white-black combo. Quote
zhaolei520 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Nice work! I like your Porsche 919.How about your instruction going？I am really looking forward to making one. Quote
Charbel Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks @zhaolei520 ! I'm out for holidays for a month so I will start them when I come back. Hope to finish them before school starts tho. Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Amazing great disigned car and superB pressetation. Quote
Lox Lego Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Congrats on getting into the HOF, well deserved! Quote
iv-tecman Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 The gearbox is a work of art. Amazing model, really do like this one. Looks amazing in white /black with the grey underchassis. Great work. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Nice looking car..! I did a gearbox based on a similar principle a few years ago(built entirely different of course)... One problem was that because there was play in the driving rings, it was possible to engage 2 gears at the same time... As long as the user shifted it properly, there wasn't an issue, but it still existed.. I had since added a white clutch gear as a safety net.. Quote
Nebulaire Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Congratulations ! https://thelegocarblog.com/2017/07/25/eruption/ Quote

I think there is no real solution, even though I tried to reduce the play. I didn't add a clutch tho, every one will most likely notice if there is a double engagement. Quote
Charbel Posted August 23, 2017 Author Posted August 23, 2017 I have started the instructions ! They must be finished in a week or so. Quote
