Homersapien Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Hello Eurobricks people, this is my first thread here. I've bought a metal die cast for my son and really liked how Pixar modeled the old Ford Model T and decided to MOC it in Technic. For scale I use the BMW 100,6 motorcycle wheels and the rest made as close as I could to the original, there are no blueprint for the character. It has full independent suspensions, functional fake 4-cylinders motor like the model T, opening doors, hood and trunk, spare wheel. It's driven buy an XL motor, steered by an M motor. Custom sticker for eyes and mouth. Will add a clip to show you how it drives. Hope you like it. Edited July 25, 2019 by Homersapien wrong photo size Quote

Mechbuilds Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Model T ford should have a solid rear axle and not independent. But otherwise nice moc. Quote
grum64 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 What a great build. It’s instantly recognisable and full of detail. I’m liking the stickers, they give it real character. Looking forward to seeing the video. Quote

Thanks, it's not an Model T, it's Lizzie (character from Cars modeled based on the Model T) but MOCing it out of Technic would be embarrassing without a chassis/suspensions/motor. Quote
Lyichir Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 That's quite neat! Almost makes me want to see a Technic set of a really vintage car like that... most Technic sets focus on newer vehicles and technologies, but the gearing and suspension you've put into this show that classic cars can be just as complex and interesting.

If you look at it from a quick glance, the most of the resemblance is there. The axles are inaccurate though. Quote
