Casr in LDD

[Solitary Dark]

I've been building lots of cars recently, and last night and this morning had a play in LDD. Neither of these took longer than 15 minutes, but they were quite satisfying nonetheless.

I made this one in base red then let my son do the colouring! I am going to build this with bricks for him.

But I dont think all these pieces are available in purple.

Not bad at all for less-than-15-minute builds. I actually like the simplistic design of the vehicles, though the 6-stud width of the yellow one is uncommon for a car, while the purple mini-truck is quite ok. Nice job mookage!

A nicely done little quick build! I actually like how you decided on 6 wide construction, as it leaves more room for the minifigs, which is always nice All in all, I like both of these cars very much, so keep bricking

I really like the purple car

Nice try on the yellow one 'mookage' I can see what you are trying to do....bring realism to Lego cars, but usually 6 to 8 wide are for vans, utes, trucks etc., or maybe muscle cars too !

The purple one is a winner - I like it - the purple is just that different !

Nice LDD work and I'm a conformist! !

I build all of my cars in 8-wide. - The purple one was a first experiment in 6-wide and I think it looks a little thin.

I build my trucks in either 8 or 10 wide to give them an appropriate scale.

Fires-storm - you're right of course, its all so you can fit 2 minifigs next to each other in the car.

My son's asked for an Indy 50's era Car, so i'll be trying that next.

Lookin' good

If you want you can upload the LXF-files. Then we can have a look at the structural stability/technique and give you tips on that too.
