TheDeeGee Posted Tuesday at 12:36 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:36 PM (edited) Was bored from gaming for a couple of days and decided to grind my gears recreating this car in Icons scale :) This has only been built in digital form, as i have no parts at hand for a test build. I was surprised it was possible at all with the limited purple inventory. It could look better if more purple tiles were available and i was a more skilled builder :) Edited Tuesday at 12:36 PM by TheDeeGee Quote

mahjqa Posted Wednesday at 07:12 AM Posted Wednesday at 07:12 AM A very competently made model. The colour of the MTV logo makes me wish Lego would (still) produce bricks in that colour. Quote
TheDeeGee Posted Wednesday at 05:08 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 05:08 PM (edited) Second pass of the Simtek S941. Redone part of the engine cover around the back so the purple and black flow better like the art on the real car. Also changed the side of the engine cover to cheese slopes. And the rear wing should be more structurally sound, the engine bay seen some minor tweaks including the flag of Austria representing Roland Ratzenberger :) Also made it stand compatible. Instructions are something for the future, i need to look at it some more. I also need to find someone to do stickers, but i think MattsBrickMocs would be happy to do these.

Sven J Posted Wednesday at 09:02 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:02 PM A nice model, however I think it would look even better with a slight modification: The airbox/integrated roll bar should stay attached to the monocoque when the cowling is removed. Anyway: Beautiful as this car is, it evokes terrible memories of that ill-fated weekend Friday, April 29th - Sunday, May 1st, 1994. I saw all three accidents live on TV as a teen, couldn't sleep for several nights. "It was as if the sun had fallen from the sky" (Heinz-Harald Frentzen). R.I.P. Roland and Ayrton. Quote

That's rather impossible at this scale without making everything extremely bulky and out of proportion. Quote
