Sérgio Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 I made this rat/hot rod from scratch, not an exact replica of any particular car, just inspired by some Hot Rods and Rat Rods around.Rat Rod SB35 by Sérgio Batista, no FlickrRat Rod SB35 by Sérgio Batista, no Flickr Quote
brickhead_07 Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Wow, this looks so cool! all these beautiful details! The revolvers as the manifold are awesome! Quote
kodlovag Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 This is very cool! But I think this would have a better place at the Technic, Model Team part of the forum. Quote
Toastie Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Good evening, Sérgio ... ... and I thought, you are a genius when it comes to trains. I have no idea why ... sometimes things narrow to a forum ;) My goodness. Believe me, I am not into cars, as I see them as vehicles to transport things from A to B that are tough to be hauled by public transportation. But this beauty - it is that - makes me rethink ... how on Earth are you doing this? How? I know that you are a genius with electronic building as well - over at TrainTech - but this is beyond belief. The other cars you are currently presenting - the exact same thing. This one was frontpaged - maybe three in a row is "too much" for EB, but three in a row would have been very well deserved. Tipping hat - and a slight bow. All the best, Thorsten Quote

Such kind words from you. Thank you so much! I love to spend my time on details, I think that is what drives me, the rest I don't know how and what magic formula I use, I just do things, I don't consider myself as a genius, just have a sensitive eye who loves to capture and study most of the details of everything. I'm also not a Cars guy, I don't even have a driving license :P, but I learn a lot with building trains and try to apply it to other themes as well :) The front page was a bonus, I didn´t expect at all :D 19 hours ago, kodlovag said: This is very cool!

It's a minifig/Speed champions 8 Wide'ish scale model, I think I is too small to be consider a model team. 21 hours ago, brickhead_07 said: Wow, this looks so cool! all these beautiful details!

Guyinaplaguemask Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 V8V8V8V8!!! Very nice, looks amazing. I love the chrome, makes it look just that much nicer. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Wicked rat rod. Great detail work on the engine, from the air filter to the straight pipes. Love the chrome. Sometimes less is more, and you nailed it here with this minimalist car. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Wow, you're undoubtedly a great talent ... there is no construction that I have not seen you achieve at excellent levels! Very good as always ...but I have been saying this about you for a long time! Great MOC! Quote
