Ooh, congrats on finding the parts to make brown work!

Need to work better on the proportions, the side transition line should be extended to the headlights, and the excessive slope of the hood and rounded panels are unnecessary. And add more System details to smooth out the transition and make the hood more recognizable.

You need to put same angles photos if you want to show something differs. Using system parts in technic body is cringe for me

I think you can see these obvious things for yourself, and the photo angle doesn't matter. The hood doesn't have any curves on the sides, and the line along the body should extend to the front fenders.

The front bumper should be pushed forward, otherwise, why do you need it in the first place?

A little bit of System details never hurts a Technic model ;)

You may think you've given a helpful response, but the tone makes it sound rude and demanding.

I'm sorry if that sounded rude. I just pointed out the areas that could be improved.

I think you are trying to compare orange and apple (Technic build Paave show, and System Build you proposed). But with a rude tone, full of affirmation and command, that was not mandatory.

You seems to be good at LEGO system, so why not create a new topic on your version of the Blazer, so everybody can shine in this specific field ? Paave's work is good, it is not easy at this scale to get correct shape, proportion (with color limitation too) and playability / sturdyness (depending of what the builder want). Only drawback would be the side shape of the hood, but I assume it is a compromise that I am sure Paave would have correct if he could.

I agree that front bumper should be moved forward, I noticed that a bit late, but I'll correct it

What you made with system parts is not improvement to me. I use technic parts with what is available with particular color, and there's not much choice at reddish brown

It probably sounded rude because of the automatic translation, as I don't speak that language.

The Paave model really inspired me to create my own version. ) I'll add it to my project list once I've finished all the others.
