HorcikDesigns Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) New photos on bricksafe. I hope to change some things here or there, but these might be also the final photos. Main upgrade in this iteration is the tailfin, that is completely rebuilt and flows now much better with the roof line as it should. More photos in my Bricksafe album: https://bricksafe.com/pages/horcikdesigns/tatra-t87-tc18- What do you think about it? Edited April 26, 2020 by HorcikDesigns Quote
1gor Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 It ended up very good representation of streamlined Tatra Quote
amorti Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Is it perhaps a bit system brick heavy for the challenge? Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 @I_Igor Thanks! @amorti I hope that it is not too system heavy for the competition. @Jim, may I ask you what judge thinks about it? Quote
Go-Kart Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 It should be up to the voters: If your cool car is too system heavy for someone, just don't give him points. For my part, I enjoy the variety of entries for this contest. Some are optimized for look, others for the function. Quote

One possible entry if the person completes it will have by my count well over 100 system bricks. Once again it's nearly an entire brick built interior which fits the car like a glove and I think this moc would be hard pressed not to have a heavy brick system count. Maybe next time @Jim a percentage ratio of you don't want technic/ model team builds. I still can sit here and appreciate the design and work as its beautiful done @HorcikDesigns and hopefully the voters decide too. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) @Go-Kart -. Thank you - I agree, voters will decide. This one is obviously the first category. :D@brickless_kiwi - At this scale it would be really full of compromises to achieve shapes of T87 only with Technic parts. @Jim - Thanks for confirmation.

HorcikDesigns Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 Well, I have to make new photos. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted May 5, 2020 Author Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Well, here are some final photos. The first post is updated to entry post. The main changes are new front fenders with new front bumper and updated dashboard. Notice that the steering wheel is in neutral position (as seen on the original T87). Thank you for the competition, I really enjoyed building this little car and hope to make some similar in the future. Hopefully with more functions. Edited May 5, 2020 by HorcikDesigns Quote

BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 The Tatra looks amazing! I love the blend of system and technic parts and how well they are used together. Quote

Gray Gear Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Honestly I dont like TC18 entires on the Frontpage while the contest is still going. Sure, it is a cool build, but this is giving an unfair advantage over the other TC18 entries, and I have seen others that would have deserved to be frontpage as well, but did not. Quote
All_About_Lego Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 This build is great! - I especially love how you’ve managed to replicate the cars streamlined bodywork with a mixture of curved system and Technic pieces. Great job! Quote

I do not see it on the Frontpage, so I do not get why you write this here, it probably got deleted very soon. But, to be honest, altough it is really a honor to have MOC frontpaged, but I agree that this kind of advertisement of single contest entry during contest is kind of unfair, so it is good that it got deleted. @All_About_Lego Thanks!

That was a mistake and should NOT happen. It has been removed. Quote
