[TC18] Ferrari F355

[apachaihapachai]

Guess I should start building the car from the chassis. So here it is. I don't know what kind of body I want to build yet. But it should be something with an engine in the middle.

I like this Mustang rims more and more...

[Seasider]

Do the https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=44309&in=S Tyres fit on Mustang Rims?

[1gor]

I think they fit, since Mustang rims are (based on bricklink) 30 x 20mm

[Seasider]

I’d ignored them completely as I thought the rims wouldn’t work with the tyres. Oh well I’ll stick to what I’ve gone with

If Jim didn't pull this content I would have made one classic during summer with those wheels, but several things emerged (and not positive ones)

And it could be something new, but now it is possible that someone surprise me with the same idea

Yes, they do. I just checked.

If you will go for a Ferrari, put a yellow bush at the end of wheel axles and you will have a Ferrari !

And you have "boxy" models like 288GTO or 308/328GTB...but you will decide which is doable.

I want something like F355. But I guess it will end up more like "some kind of Ferrari" not an actual model of Ferrari.

Ferrari F355?

[Jundis]

Doesn't look bad :-)

But the design behind the door looks little messy... maybe you could tinker around with this panel? Also the wheelbase seems to short for a F355?

Everything behind the doors is temporary. Just to hold everything in place :)

The wheelbase seems short due to bigger wheel arches compared to the original.

Results for today

[brickphisto]

Impressive build considering the short time! It loooks already so much better than 42093.

Indeed, impressive build for just one day. Folding headlights? Nice!

Sure 

[apachaihapachai]

+ working steering wheel
+ mini V8 in proper place

[Gray Gear]

Ferrari isn't really for me but definatelly impressive for a 1 day build

[letsbuild]

I just noticed you have the same engine design as me! UGH!

Seeing as yours was designed first, I guess I'm the one at fault here. but I swear I built mine independently from yours

[apachaihapachai]

Now it's time to polish everything =)

I guess that happened because this is smallest and simplest design to come up with :)

[Gray Gear]

Wow, you finished up the rear so quickly... Damn, I could never build so fast. Well, maybe I am used to think in 1:8 Scale now 

It turned out very nice, I like how you used the maccaroni pieces back there 

The battalion of blue pins throw me off a little, but I guess there is nothing you can do
