legomanijak Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Minifig scale, I wish I had more chrome but it is what it is. The piece it all stemmed from is 85940 and then the rest of the car just sort of worked itself out. I actually started making a random car stemming from this piece and then by accident discovered that there was one that had the exact same headlight configuration so I continued on with the 1961 Chrysler New Yorker.

jedisquidward Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 I am usually not into cars or vehicles AT ALL but this is so compactly well designed that I would love to see instructions for this. The detail is captured so well within a small space that it feels comparable to a microscale build I normally try to do. Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 So the more I look at this the more I want one ... I can reverse engineer the front from looking at it but the rear end is getting me ... Are the fins simply resting in panels or are they attached ... I did notice the upside-down "rear quarter fender". Quote

I am afraid I don't make instructions, it's more fun making it on your own anyway :). Happy you like it so much! I guess anything can be considered microscale if you put in enough details. 7 hours ago, Roadmonkeytj said: So the more I look at this the more I want one ...

I did notice the upside-down "rear quarter fender". The fins are attached (hint, 2 studs per fin). Most important of all, it's all legal. Good eye, indeed the "rear quarter fender" is upside down, as well as the rocker panel trim. Good luck with the rest :) Edited November 13, 2020 by legomanijak Quote
