MOC - Volvo PV 544

[AndersI]

A blue Volvo PV 544 was my first own car, and I have started trying to build it in LEGO many times, but this is the first one where I'm actually quite satisfied with the result. Completely by coincidence, it turned out to be in the same scale as the VW Camper (~12 wide).

There are many things I'm unhappy with, and some obvious problems:

- Should have been (Volvo-) blue, but I don't have the parts.

- There is no steering wheel

- The front is a bit long, should lose (at least) one stud there

- The back curve is more like the older PV 60

- The doors are fake, not really openable

- The trunk lid is much to massive

- I'm missing some parts in the right color

But all in all, I'm happy it turned out so well as it did.

I think you're being too hard on yourself. It's a wonderful MOC, a job well done!! I think you captured that "boxy" Volvo look quite well.

I think it looks fine. This is a wonderful moc.

Excellent MOC 'AndersI', though it's more model team than humble town/city/minifig scale.

Brick On !

Thanks all for the comments!

though it's more model team than humble town/city/minifig scale.

I'm not that used yet to the Eurobricks categorizations, I only read the title lines for the different fora, I'll check the subtitles too, next time (or should this post be moved?).
