legofan Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Well... With the current hike in Car prices and the increasing demand of Eco-Friendly cars, and the recent Lego official model 3177 minicar, i humbly present to you the latest car model arrival in my Lego City: The Eco Mini! The Rear view, showcasing the Battery pack behind that can be charged anywhere at a service station. The Front view (Strangly Familiar??) In fact, i liked the model so much that i build (or rather, try to build with my limited parts) a fleet of them: Current standing at Four ... Sadly.. The rear view. I simply love the yellow one with the yellow/ white colour combination and beautiful sports rims ~~ Let's get a closer look at each of them: The Red/ white ~ With clssic car doors in for the convinence of our lady driver The blue/ white ~ For the busy business man on the go. Release stress by driving a mini in a traffic-packed city... The white/ grey ~ For your daily driving fun with sunroof ! All together now! Say Cheese! Thank you for your Comments and Critism! Cheers! Bonus pictures: For those of you wondering how 'mini' this is, here is a comparison picture with the actual Lego 4x4 SUV from 7635: Sure looks wierd with the smallest and the largest Vehicles in my LEgo city featured together~~ Quote
vgsprites Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 haha Hybrid minis how cool. I like the design of the battery packs. It's awesome how you have a fleet of them already. Go Eco-Friendly! Great job! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Cute and COOL - great eco-designing 'legofan' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Davey Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Great work. These are wicked cute! The last picture reminds me of when I pull up next to a Hummer/Yukon/Navigator/etc in my MINI Cooper S. -Davey Quote
legofan Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 Thank you guys for all the wonderful comments! Yup, i love it so much, i'm so gonna get more parts to make even more of them! ~~ Quote
legofan Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 Finally able to procure enough parts to continue this project ~~ Well guys, hoped you like my minis so far... In fact, i love it so much for it's pure cute-ness and simplicity that i deceided to embark on an 'mini army building project'... And here they are: Heh heh ~ I love minis! 10 and no blank file Sir! A frontal view! they come in many colour combinations ~ Take your pick! ;) And here's mini me with my mini fleet for a mini photo shot ~~ Closer look at the 2nd row... The last row... RHS column closer view ~ I kinda like Lime & white ~ Smoothing to the eyes ~~ Middle column view... Black & white is nice too i think~~ and lastly a LHS column view... So how do you think of it ?? And here's a closer look at the overall 'voted favourite colour' of them all.. The punky all black with silver lining~~ All black with it's sporty rims is nice & smoothing ~~ And here's a shot at them line-up in a row... And you see the guy at the other end waving his hand ? Here's another view ~~ An arial view of them in line ~ And a rear view ~ however, there is a very major fault to the mini.... It ONLY sits one.... Sadly.... All C & C very very welcomed! Cheers! :-/ Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Wow, that's one impressive collection of Mini Eco-cars you got there legofan! You really love those small but eco-friendly minicars don't cha? It's really nice to see a whole fleet of these 'minis', and hopefully more and more of these Eco-cars we'll see in our real world in the near future. Great work on these and keep expanding your collection! Quote
coupi Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I've had the 3177 car for a few months, and am definitely going to turn it into an eco-car, and I'll probably end up making a little fleet of them, thanks to you! Quote
sens1992 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Great job on your cars legofan! They are a good alternative to LEGO's small car! I really like what you have done! Quote
WhiteFang Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Wow! Are you holding a car show??? Very nice minis. Can I have the black mini? Very nice. Glad to see you updating your progress. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Excellent work 'legofan' - either you could MOC.....a race track for them to race at......a monster car dealership with workshops........or......a vehicle assembly plant.....just a thought ! And for the 5000th time.....I'm a conformist! ! Quote
prateek Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Wow! You should make a really big dealership to hold these. I agree that the black one is the coolest Quote
legofan Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 Thank you guys for the wonderful comments! Really appreciate that! Yap, my next project would probably be a 'monster' car dealership.. With beautiful lights in a glass panel environment, and that Black mini will be the showroom crown jewel! Or maybe a car factory instead?? I love these minis! Cheers! Quote
coupi Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 There's a pair of nice little cars that come with 7939 too. Quote
