I couldn't do better, but I must say this isn't a technic body. This is stacked liftarms and system slopes poorly replicating a brick built body.

Is there any possable way to recreat this model's body without liftarm stack?

[amorti]

Maybe not in the same colour due to panel availability, but must be possible to use at least a few panels.

Just use flex axles

LBG flex axle is very limited... as far as I know there is only 1 flex axle is available in LBG.

Except taperd panel, available LBG panel is only 2. 5x11 flat and 3x11 curved 2 hole.

[howitzer]

I wouldn't blame you for switching the colour scheme entirely, to black or red or something... In LBG it's either an ugly liftarm stack or non-Technic body.

[syclone]

Flat silver has an acceptable (IMO) combination with LBG, and there's a good number of flexaxles available. Not a fan of those wheelarches as they do not follow the bodylines, but I suppose another purely LBG solution isn't exactly possible. Looking forward to the result)))

I love the model mechanically, but it is going to be very tough to style the body, making it look good while distancing yourself from the original set enough. Can't say I know how to proceed, but I hope you'll figure something out!

Actually, I looking some libbed hose.

This looks much better. But front fender is to week. It connect using only 1 pin.

Much better. It'd dictate colour choices, but what about that new panel for between 21/22, at the front of the engine cover?

It don't available in LBG yet. And I want keep LBG considering this contest's main theme is recrate studded set and original 10262 is based James Bond's car.

What about not using so much bricks, but use also that wheel arch for front? For Aston Martin it could fit.

Interesting idea. I will try it other side.

[SaperPL]

Note that there are bigger sizes of this wheel arch, but I'm not sure about colour availability of those.

Sadly, this is the only Technic wheel arch available in LBG.

Progress 5

Finish actual model except front bumper and rear truck door. I don't have much system brick so need to order. (I played with lego since 2011 and 90% of my set is technic.)

Open every possible thing in current version. Hood has 2 joint like original model and roof is sliding when pull triger in rear bumper. Like original.

Only I missed function(?) is double joint in door hinge. I don't have enough space for that.

Of cource inside of driver door, there is hidden door for secret phone. I don't have both phone and panel so I put 2 1x4 brick insted now.

It will be perfactly fit if panel 3x11 curved 10 hole is available in LBG. But don't. So I will just put phone and connect with door with 11L string. those 1x1 gap on black thing is for that.

 

Now I need move this to CAD and order parts. I hope get part in time.

[msk6003]

CAD prograss 5

CAD also finish.

Trunk door is little different with original but I can't think more.

Also air intake on hood is removed. same leason with trunk door.

How do you keep the front wheel arches in place? From what I can see, they are only connected through the side pin holes.

[Alex Ilea]

Looks impressive! 

I would suggest you add the hood scoop to your build and change the roof, you should add some flexaxles to get the right roof curvature.

Exactly and supported with only one 3L pin.. Those pin supported 2 connector. But I can't find any possible connection point without that...

Like I said before, LBG flexaxle is very rare and need to considering roof is sliding backward when pull trigger of ejection seat.

Pneumatic hoses could be used in place of LBG flex axles, and would provide a smoother look too!

Can you replace the curvy slopes between the wheel arch and the hood with liftarms

But those slope is also acting to bracing point of entire front grill and placement point of light. And liftarm version will look squarish not smooth.

[msk6003]

While wating order I made instruction. I will complety rebuild using this when part are arrived. I hope I can get in right time.

Edited July 16, 2021 by msk6003

[msk6003]

My order STILL NOT ARRIVED DAMN

Anyway, I made real model without not arrived part(most of front grill)

I also need LBG fender and LBG 1L liftarm.

I don't know anyone can notice it but I use metallic silver 2x2 ㄱ plate behind of front fender for recreating original model's part.

And front windshield connection point is little changed.

Rear view. need lot of metallic silver for bumper.

Opening everything without roof.

Opening roof and slide up bulletproof shield.

 

Final function

From original 10262

Slide up bulletproof shield using left exhaust pipe

Secret sawblade in both rear wheel extend outside using right exhaust pipe

Ejction seat using middle section of rear bumper with sliding roof

Front machine gun show off using gear stick

Changeable both front and rear licence plate

Opening bonet with twin hinge and both door and truck

Secret telephone in driver's door

Changeable driver console

New function I added

Fake straight 6 engine connected to right rear wheel

Steering front wheel using steering wheel

 

@Jim Can you please extend deadline 1~2 week? 8/9 or 8/16. I asked the people who bought it from the same seller, and thay said it usually takes about three weeks.
