Well done Thankyou, I appreciate that. I do a lot of art hobbies so I feel like that reflects in the model. Really keen to do another MOC and push the mechanical aspects harder, technic isn’t all about looks after all. Quote

That's great to hear dude. I reckon you should try to do a chassis underneath all the bodywork. Any thoughts on what your next model will be? Quote

Any thoughts on what your next model will be? Agreed. Due to the complex shapes in this model and the lack of parts in dark azure I found it really hard to build the bodywork as seperate modules, resorting to attaching lots of individual section straight to the chassis. Not having to worry about massive opening boots or bonnets meant I could easily get away with that as well... After gaining the experience in building this, I was honestly half tempted to try and rework the chassis of this model to include more functions. But since the bodywork being built as it is I’m scared I wouldn’t be able to get the model back to this state if I striped it all off... I wouldn’t mind trying a Pagani, maybe in lime/black. I really like the aero flaps and the opening clamshells with the gullwing doors. Quote

I dunno if it's too much effort for you, but you could try set up building instructions of sorts for yourself by recording yourself dismantling it bit by bit and playing it in reverse, or taking photos of bits you pull off. 17 minutes ago, langko said: I wouldn’t mind trying a Pagani, maybe in lime/black.

Oh man, if you're gonna do a Pagani I really think you should do a Zonda R (and in just black, lime would be strange imo). That car is ripe for removable bodywork and internal detailing. The Huayra's cool and all, but it's been done in Technic multiple times before. The Zonda R in 1:8 scale would be something new and insane. Edited November 27, 2020 by Bartybum Quote

True, but the main concern is that if the whole chassis changes then I won’t be able to attach the bodywork in the same way I have here. 9 hours ago, Bartybum said: Oh man, if you're gonna do a Pagani I really think you should do a Zonda R (and in just black, lime would be strange imo).

The Zonda R in 1:8 scale would be something new and insane. Hmmm, Zonda R has been done before too. Either way I’m not too fussed, I’d rather try and make my own version of something before someone else’s anyway. I guess colours just personal preference, I feel all black hides the details more and there’s not many sets I can use as a base, so I’d have to BrickLink a lot more parts. This is what I was kinda thinking: https://images.app.goo.gl/CKee3n4biPppXfhM7 https://images.app.goo.gl/6kwzRBrUDJjMKCnN8 Quote

I’m not much of a fan of lime Paganis but it would definitely help bring out details, plus you already have most of the needed parts from the Sian Quote

Exactly my thoughts. Though I definitely agree all lime wouldn’t look as good as when the black is mixed in. Quote

langko Posted June 25, 2021 Author Posted June 25, 2021 Hey everyone, I've slowly been building a 2nd version of this model and would like to share some of the progress here. When I finished the dark azure version there was 2 main thoughts... 1: Wow, I can't believe I actually managed to put this together. 2: Wow, there is so much that can be improved. For me the goal is to have the best possible models instead of simply more models, so I tore the entire model apart and restarted everything. As a result the entire chassis is completely different. Here are some photo comparisons of the interior/monocoque. Proportions have been improved massively. It's much more open and roomy. Building technique is much more refined, model is stronger whilst also looking way better. A lot of effort went into hiding all the blue pins as well. The mirror attachment has been improved whilst also angling towards the driver (I'll get some smooth clear tiles at some point), you can also see a couple buttons in the roof too. Air con parts are bigger, dash uses the printed part from the Sian and the centre console uses more system pieces to give it a smoother look. Seat are way better too, improved headrests, smoother back and in my opinion better colour combo too. (Really loved using the yellow in this build. I kept the HOG shifter, but it was completely redesigned and the paddles behind the steering wheel now move when you use it too. For me this is the best compromise between playability/functionality/aesthetics. It works similar to this (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-41540/Levihathan/paddle-haptic-system/#details) Thanks for reading, I'll share more info as a finalise other parts of the build. Quote
keymaker Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) I love your construction of seats. I will propably never use it, because of the scale and supercar theme which are not my thing. But the fact that your seats are beatiful and build with technic pieces - this is the great thing. Edited June 25, 2021 by keymaker Quote
Gray Gear Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Those seats really look amazing! too bad they can only work when there is a wall behind the seats... Quote
Jerry LEGO Creations Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 The interior looks a lot cleaner like this Quote
