No car in my mind just build somethnig nice with steering, engine, doors and sonething more. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Well I will go for a BMW I am not a big fan of cars but since I was a child I used to like this one and Delta Integrale. It was a challenge to have ackerman steering with front engine but it works and in a strong conjunt. Edited April 25, 2020 by jorgeopesi Quote
1gor Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 With boxy design it could be replicated very well in LEGO. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted May 1, 2020 Author Posted May 1, 2020 Yesterday i wanted to give up and I dissasembled everything, today I started again and I see something I like a bit. It is 2 studs shorter because I wanted some kind of deform BMW more nicer but maybe I should go for the real one. Quote
1gor Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I suggest go for real one and you can use this wheels for headlights (dimensions fit the scale ) https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-wheel-hub-11-2-x-8-with-centre-groove-42610 Quote

jorgeopesi Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 More progress I think... I do not know maybe a bodywork wider would be better... as I am not very talented with bodyworks my only way is the trial error... Quote

1gor Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 About chassis - it is good IMHO, curves are a bit wired in cab, but "stairs" on front of rear wheel are unwelcome IMHO... Quote

You are right and in the stairs too . More progress, more angular again with a better front part, the back part is still missing... Quote
1gor Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Front part is very good now, but rear looks like after traffic accident Quote

jorgeopesi Posted May 6, 2020 Author Posted May 6, 2020 We have a little back part... and a lot of room for a simple gearbox or handbrake system but we also have little time and I see the car better in the table that in my pics... but it always happen to me... Finish details, back, seats... I think I will be late. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted May 8, 2020 Author Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Thank you I_Igor, but I give up, it was funny and I learnt a lot but I am tired of a MOC that it does not start to like me yet and it is too much time... It would have HOG, steering wheel, four cylinder inline working engine, doors, sunroof, trunk, hood and the simpliest gearbox I have ever made... try not to laugh when I try to shift between gears...

1gor Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 But you still have time to finish it and contest should be for fun, so you can put some liftarms in back and fill it... BTW there are parts like Bionicle tooth etc to be used without stairs...if I remember you made once small Ferrari? Could it be an idea spender? (I suppose you don't have small red mudguards)? Mine (orange) arrived yesterday so my initial idea will be to make 1:15.5 model for my wife; she always liked Eleanor. Kind regards my friend Quote
