[MOC] Audi R8 Quattro - B model for Peugeot 42156

[Cardboy]

This is a B model for the Peugeot 42156. I have wanted to make an Audi R8 for a while and with all the grey pieces from this set I thought it could be possible.

It was a nice challenge to try and create the Audi shape from limited parts of the Peugeot. And I hope I have captured the major features of the R8.

I have had to simulate the 4-wheel drive as the two differentials spin at different speeds and to prevent damage to the pieces I have placed a pin connector as a fake differential.

You can steer the car via the steering wheel and HOG steering, the latter can also be removed for a cleaner look for the model.

Due to part availability, I have chosen a street race concept with carbon fibre bonnet/hood and roof, with large rear spoiler.

I know the R8 is a V10 but I hope you forgive me for a V6

The doors can be opened, and the bonnet/hood can be lifted to see the suspension.

This is my first time creating a B model and I hope you like the results.

The instruction can be found here: Audi R8 Quattro - B model for Peugeot 42156

Features and Functions:

 

·         opening doors, bonnet/hood

·         independent suspension

·         HOG steering

·         4-wheel drive

      I think the area around the engine could be a better angle but I didn't have enough long beams left I think the front is not too bad.

Pretty good for limited parts.
