8845 Dune Buggy Redux 2020 with Instructons

[Cardboy]

As the 8845 was my first ever Technic model i decided to give it a redesign to modern stud less design.

I have tried to keep it as much like the original as possible. This was awkward for the steering as that is 10 studs wide and steering for Technic is all odd, 7 long racks or limited like on the Corvett 42093 and the Race Kart 42048.

The wheels are a bit oversized but i don't think Lego do anything closer. and the rear cargo area is a bit gappy.

Hope you like it

Good job. You should use the Stud.io recolouring tool to give the wheel a  more rubbery look

Thanks for that I had missed that they had rubber colours now i have to re-render all my other models as they also have shiny tyres

I did this one quickly.

Sweet remake. Quick and easy build. Closer to the original than the remake found here:

I think that the grey-black front part has to be swapped around with grey on top.

yeah that's a bit of a problem the original used plates which were 1/3 high and now we have beams that are 1/2 high you can add another but then it's a bit to high at the front.

Nice refresh, and  I did not even know this model existed... It is older that I am for sure  

Do you have built it irl too?

I don't see the problem. (I know, the yellow seats are still missing. After my order arrives, they will be available to me)

Rendering can be done during the night! You can make a cue list and the computer does the thing.

Even a little movie doesn't take that long. (Just under an hour.)

That is very cool, well done.

I did build in irl just my photo skills are worse then the CG render also I don't have all the right colours so it's using Blue seats atm.

Very nice i was looking at the original 8845 and yes it starts grey then black so you are correct but i quite like the black to finish on the grill

No problem. The nice thing with Lego is the flexibility and creativity. For example I like my version of the roof despite of the blue pins more than your version closer to the original, I added some more liftarms in the frame and turned around the wheels.
