All_About_Lego Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Hi! so, this is my first post on Eurobricks, I did actually make this model about a month ago, but I thought I might as well share it here too. MG Metro 6R4 by All.About.Lego, on Flickr So, here is a list of its functions: Front and rear independent suspension 4-wheel drive (RC) steering (RC) Working front and rear lights (RC) opening doors opening rear door/boot/bonnet (or whatever else you want to call it)... A detailed interior (with a roll-cage and seats) and loads of stickers... MG Metro 6R4 by All.About.Lego, on Flickr In total this model has 9 PF components: 2 L-motors, 2 pairs of lights, 1 servo motor, 2 AAA battery boxes, and 2 receivers/remotes. It was a bit of a struggle to cram all of them into such a small MOC, while still having independent suspension, and 4-wheel drive, but luckily I still managed to do it! This is the chassis I used for it: Lego Technic Compact 4-wheel drive chassis by All.About.Lego, on Flickr and of course, since I was doing the 6R4, I had no option but to make almost 40 stickers, just so I could recreate the iconic 'Computervision' livery which some of the 1980's group B rally cars had. MG Metro 6R4 by All.About.Lego, on Flickr that's pretty much everything, so I hope you like it, and any comments would be apprecited!

Boulderer Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Welcome to Eurobricks The 6R4 is a great candidate for an MOC due to the blocky nature of its design. It suits Lego elements perfectly. Quote

Alex Ilea Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Awesome build! But this is a model team build and should have been posted in the scale modeling forum. Quote

And oh, (I am still getting used to the eurobricks system since this is my first post) is there any way of swapping to the scale model forum now that I have already posted this? Quote

Bricksonwheels Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Lovely! Group B cars rule. Youre model captures the 6R4 very well. Quote

brickphisto Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 You captured the shape of the car really well. But to add all the functions into a model of this scale is an outstanding achievement. Welcome to Eurobricks! Hope to see more from you soon. Quote

Edwin Korstanje Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Very warm welcome here at EB and a stunning entry you made. The normal MG Metro was a ugly and bad car, but the Group B version with the 6 cylinder engine in the back was a hell of a monster car, back in the days then. Great replica and hope to see a lot more from you. Quote
