BrickieB Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Just like Carlo Abarth took a small Fiat to create the 1000TCR race version, I took the 10271 Fiat 500 and modded it into the Abarth 1000TCR. The base of the original model still exists, but a lot of the sub-builds were changed to lower the car, make the bonnet more sleek, adjust the front bumper, doors, rear wheel arches, and bootlid. The roof was closed, the interiour scrapped, and a bucket seat / fire extinguisher / roll cage were added. Finally the engine got the Abarth treatment - of course. The model still needs some tweaking here and there, I'm open to cc if you have any suggestions. Mainly I'm looking for a better way to attach the rear wheel arches, need to have another look at the way the roll cage is connected in the rear and need to fit some hoses and details to the engine. Currently it only exists in stud.io in this colour setting, I do have the model built with about 90% correct bricks but I'm missing some in the correct colours, which I need to order so I can build the model for display purposes ;) The .io file will be made available when I'm happy with the result. Below are some screenshots and renders, let me know what you think! Quote
Merlict Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 That's cool. Hopefully someone more skilled than me has suggestions for rear wheel arches, those ones let the model down a bit Quote
BrickieB Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 I made some further changes to the interiour, engine, rollcage, doors and some other minor things and I'm happy with the results. In the mean time I've finished this MOC and as promised the .io file can be downloaded here. Some more renders: Quote
