It is a nice car but I preffer this... I only build cars for take a rest between machines, sorry for the off-topic. Quote
Lipko Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Hmm, I agree that openable trunk and hood is pretty important because those are functions that might be used even in a display only model. I think if you invest a little more time in your models (the world can't keep up with you anyway ) than this should be a non issue. Quote
DugaldIC Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Oh man lox, this is by far the best car you've done to date. I'm super happy seeing what goes into these cars that most people miss and I love the progress you bring to each build! You're killing it bro. Quote

I like making machines too with EV3, and I never thought about making a construction crane before, but it would seem pretty fun. Quote

Yeah, it does look like fun. Maybe I could combine the construction crane and the Ford GT to create the ultimate crossover build Quote
Enilder Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 This is fantastic. When can we expect to see the instruction for this? Were you buying individual parts or were you able to make it with 42056? It seems like you need more than just 42056... Quote

After that is the creation of the instructions, so I'm not too sure how long it might take. Maybe a month or so? I did use the Porsche set to build this car, but will require a few more parts for sure. LOTS of 3L beams and orange flex axles. I had picked up all my extra pieces through the "bricks and pieces" section from Lego.com, (its usually cheapest and brand new) then pickup the remaining parts on Bricklink. I make a list of parts I'd like then look for the cheapest bricklink store to pick up all my parts. Quote

Do you recall how many additional parts you had to get in addition to Porsche set? Trying to figure out how much it's going to take me to replicate your model. :) Quote

AFOLegofan66 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 This is pretty sweet....my collection of orange parts just got bigger!! I hope that the Veneno plans will be soon because I would hate having to build both at the same time.....not!!!!! Quote
Lox Lego Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Hey All! The Ford GT instructions are complete. As soon as they are turned into a PDF they will be available on Rebrickable.

I look forward to building this after the Veneno which I will be starting in the next few days after I catalogue the GT first. Quote
Aleh Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Just thinking... if to buy all 6 cars having no lego at home - it will cost like almost few years old Peugeot 208 or something like that.. Quote

Just those pesky with axle with pin holders won't be available on BnP for awhile. Quote
Mysh Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 What a wonderful build! Masterpiece. Am I looking at this and your Lamborghini for two weeks now and can't decide, which one I want to build first. ;-) In addition I would like to thank you for your business model, I believe your price is fair; I hope you make some money back for all your hard efforts and contribution to the community so far.

Many thank Mysh!! Building Lego is fun, and I am very happy to build and share! Yes I have recieved some money for my efforts, and it will all go back to the community when I buy more parts to customize future builds! For me, it is not so much a business, it’s passion. Getting something in return for a hobby is the best feeling. Now I can build in many colors and details thanks to the kind people that have supported my creations. For that I’m forever grateful ! Thanks Quote
Lox Lego Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 Hello all! Due to popular demand, I've created an instruction on how you can create a non-RC model of the Ford GT! Simply remove all electrical components from the parts list and build, and pick up all the parts in this link to replicate some of the motors. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JfOGyauxUKaJBsWT2 The pistons in the engine will still turn when pushed, and the steering wheel will turn when you turn the wheels. Two knobs are to replace the 2x M-motors that open the door so you can open them manually.Ford GT - outdoor sunset by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Quote
AFOLegofan66 Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks for doing this...too bad Shapeways doesn’t have 3D printed motor blanks for making a static model!! Most of your cars have quite the inventory of PF parts!! Great a total rebuild. Quote
