Aleh Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Hello there, this time I'm trying to implement out of lego the Audi E5. And my current status. I think I've stucked with the design. For me mine version seems a bit overloaded, want to make it a bit smoother, lighter... Will very appreciate any opinions/critics and suggestions/reccomendations :) All photos: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aleh/audi-e5 WIP: Current status: As I've said already - I stucked with the design.

Jeroen Ottens Posted January 20 Posted January 20 These ordinary city cars are harder to design than supercars is my experience. The angles on the car are typically less pronounced, which makes it tempting to straighten them. However that typically disproportionally harms the look of the car. I would recommend to have a good look at the real car design to see what angled lines define the look and then reproduce those lines. A tilt of one stud over the length of the car is already very noticeable for your brain (as your brain is very good at picking up pure horizontals and verticals). Not having these angles will make the car look boxier than the original. Which I think is what is bothering you in this design. Quote
bruh Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Wow very nice! Although not my favorite car (by a lot) it looks pretty close! One question: How do you approach the process of creating the dashboard? That has ALWAYS been really hard for me, and yours looks very nice. Quote

Aha, especially if you know that this model can be meet only on the streets of China :) Thank you for the comment, appreciate! I'm using printed scaled blueprints to match the proportions. The problem is I have a lack of car designing skills :) 7 hours ago, bruh said: One question: How do you approach the process of creating the dashboard?

For further actions have no idea at the moment :) Those stickers are spare ones from the 42130 set. Quote
