400048 Bugatti Type 35

More likely guess to me is that 16t behind the engine is part of the steering, as is the axle under it, and the engine has another pair of 16t gears under the dashboard.  The clutch gears and those engine discs don't interact at all, same end profile as axle-connectors that get used between clutch gears to hold the shift ring.

I read your post as if someone was reverseengineering building it. Oops, I did read wrong. rheaultboats, is one of the lucky ones to get the actual set :)

So I've managed to recreate this much in stud.io based off this image. I thought the DBG half-bushes were a new colourway but apparently came out earlier this year!

Can anyone recall the last time a black 20z bevel gear was used as an actual cog and not just as a HOG knob?

Just a few weeks ago in the Arcade Pinball Machine. ;)

please tell me you'll share the stud.io file!

I tried making a cad model of the wheel. If anyone sees something obviously wrong please let me know, you can download the part in bricklink studio here and the 3d model (for 3d printing) here.

Here's my attempt at recreating the coachwork

[R0Sch]

@C-Brick Nice! Thanks a lot! There is just one tiny issue with the studio model of the rim having the axle hole not completely through, so it appears as having a collision when you connect an axle.


Here's another image I found on FB:

yeah obviously that was just an error I made in part designer (now fixed)

How the steering and drivetrain is most likely done:

You can find a stud.io file of my current version containing the chassis and the body here, using the wheels by @C-Brick.

Now the question is, how to figure out how the rest of the internal build is made in the set? Sure, it wouldn't be a problem to connect it somehow, but it would be cool if it came as close to the original as possible.

Also, a really large number of parts have been recolored for this. So this would require either building another color variant or use some spray paint...

Nicely done! It is possible to recreate this in either Black or White!
Still needs a few more corrections though.

[R0Sch]

If you ever felt like you had a really shitty day, you probably never had to build a baseplate like this. Out of the 1592 pcs. over 550 go into this. 

[C-Brick]

I am making the decorated pieces (or at least what I am able to make out with the blurry images and ai and gimp post processing)

Download them here, I will update it once I get to make more/update them.

Can you share us a list of the recolered parts?

Everyone is hating on the cobblestones...I think it looks fantastic and adds to the overall model, even if a lot of parts. Plates with printed cobbles wouldn't look nearly as nice, IMO.

It almost feels like it would be easier to list the parts that haven't been recolored...^^
Many of the dark azure parts used for the body (especially the various curved slopes and wedges, but also, for example, the 3l bars at the front with the Kylo Ren lightsaber connector)
Also, lots of metallic silver parts like 3x3 plates with round corner, bars, candles and the inquisitor lightsaber hilt. Then there are the tires that only exist in white, the steering wheel that looks like medium nougat, etc.

The list is pretty extensive – just take a look at the stud.io file.

Btw, I updated it so that it includes the base and the newly added decorated elements by C-Brick now (thanks for designing these!).

Alright, thanks! That is a shame that so many parts got recolored. Maybe I can find an other color for the body that is produced for these parts in the furture (:

I mean, it is THE standard color for the Type 35. I'm very excited on the outcome of this. Thank you so much to everyone who is contributing!

Does this image help in any way?

This helps a lot, looks like the 2x3 tiles and 2x2 curved slopes are also custom prints. This also makes the wheels a bit more clear. Do you have the set?

[huguberhart]

No, I don't have the set. I tried to look around tiktok. The instagram post is a dead end. There's an update with request for sharing denied..

*By the way, they really went crazy with the prints on this one.

Found more pics online. Looks like the box has an outer sleeve as well and they even made an exclusive minifigure print.

As far as I know, on the right side visible only from the top of the box, there appears to be some kind of link extending toward the front wheel. According to reverse engineering by others, since the steering shaft passes under the car, it might be a decorative link or have some other purpose.
