danthaman11 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I've enjoyed checking this forum and seeing everyone's Lego creations so I thought I would try and share one of mine. This is a 7 stud wide blue sports car and it seats 2 minifigs. Thanks for looking. Quote
SilentMode Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Awesome work! Glad you made it a blue car as well, it's one of those colours that doesn't get much love these days. I don't think I've ever seen those wheels/rims before, but they add to the design. Quote
Jay Sathe Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 This looks incredible! Everything looks just right on it, and I love the use of the Speed Racer windshield! Great job! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Very nice sleek-looking sports car danthaman11! I really like the overall design as a model, but it looks rather wide relative to the 'standard' 4-6 wide vehicles. But still, nothing can take away the coolness of this build, good job! Quote
prateek Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Wow! This is the best designed car I've seen in a long time. Great job Quote
Ralph_S Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 That's a very nice and sleek looking car. It reminds me a bit of a 'sixties Corvette or perhaps a Dodge Viper. It does look enormous with the figure standing next to it, though, illustrating the limitations inherent in trying to build a car suitable for seating minifigs side-by-side. This is one of the reasons why I settle for building single seaters or don't use minifigs with my cars at all. Cheers, Ralph Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 AWESOME sports car 'danthaman11', excellent detailing and nice to see one in blue ! Great work and Brick On 'danthaman11' ! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Awesome sports car Looks like a Corvette! Love the design and color! Quote
MetroiD Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Digging the colour and the interior - a lot! Although I'm generally with Ralph on the issue of size and minifig dimensions, I must say I really love this one. Great job on the interior too. Quote
soundwave_sw Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Thats hot! I may try to make a 6 wide version. Quote
Gareth Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 That is a cool car danthaman11, blue make s it look good too, front of a covette and the rear of a mustang. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Nice car! I like very much the shift stick and the inner details Quote
bricfan Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Nice work! Blue is certainly a refreshing color. Quote
WhiteFang Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 A very nice and sleek sports car! Furthermore, it is coated with blue and it is one of my favourite colours. Apart from the scale, this is actually a very good design. Thanks for sharing. I could see in your sigfig that you have more of those sports cars. Quote
SpacySmoke Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 This thing is beautiful! Excellent design, sleek yet packed with details! And it looks great in your city! Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Great Model! with the tires from the pump cars it is Complete! I saw this on ebay yesterday! Quote
danthaman11 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Thank you for all the kind comments! I'm glad you all like my car. Awesome work! Glad you made it a blue car as well, it's one of those colours that doesn't get much love these days. I don't think I've ever seen those wheels/rims before, but they add to the design. Thanks! I'm glad you like the blue. I made this car in a couple of other colors but I really liked the way in turned out in blue. The wheel/rims come from the speed racer sets. I believe the wheel covers were only available in those sets. Very nice sleek-looking sports car danthaman11! I really like the overall design as a model, but it looks rather wide relative to the 'standard' 4-6 wide vehicles. But still, nothing can take away the coolness of this build, good job! I'm glad you liked the car even if its not built to the 4 stud car 6 stud truck standard that Lego has. I saw a couple of other replies where they mentioned the width. I am definately not a traditionalist when it comes to cars. In my Lego city its 6 stud cars or wider. I really like the larger cars and how they look with the modular style buildings plus I think its cool to have a car that seats 2. My male minifigs are happy they can take their female minifigs for a ride. I have noticed that Lego seems to be making their 6 wide cars larger, and I think a well made 7 wide car can look good with those vehicles but for those that have a lot of 4 wide cars in their cities I completely understand that a 7 wide car will look way out of proportion. A very nice and sleek sports car! Furthermore, it is coated with blue and it is one of my favourite colours. Apart from the scale, this is actually a very good design. Thanks for sharing. I could see in your sigfig that you have more of those sports cars. Thanks for liking the design. You noticed my other sports car on my sigfig. This has been a good experience so I will have to share some of my other cars. Quote
bricked one Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Awesome car danthaman11, the back end is quite impressive. This kinda reminds me of my old sports car (which is in pieces now) It looks like the eurobricks community is going 7 wide. lol Quote
