MOC City vehicles

[bootz]

Hey all, here are two new MOCs I just finished up. I typically don't like to do vehicles in the City style, but I felt that it lent itself well to what I was trying to do, especially after seeing some other MOCs on here.

The first is a sort of cross-over vehicle, but it's unlike most crossovers. It has a heavy French influence(think Citroen DS and Renault Avantime), and perhaps a little bit of Audi as well. I got the idea while sifting through pieces and coming across the windscreen I wound up using as the rear glass. I thought it would work well for a fast back type vehicle and was originally planning on doing a sort of muscle car, but I like what I eventually ended up doing instead. I have not thought of a proper name for it yet. The body is streamlined for better efficiency, the engine would be located in the rear of he vehicle, and AWD is standard. I think it would look at home the French Alps.

The second is more self explanatory. It's a fairly basic 1930's Hot Rod. I really like the greenhouse and slope of the trunk.

I hope you all enjoy. I'm looking forward to comments and criticism.

I apologize for the poor quality of some of these pictures. The perils of using a camera phone.

I like the yellow car ...the nose of this vehicles with transparent-cheese is very nice!

I agree the yellow car is the nicest, good work 'bootz' and Brick On !

That's interesting - I was going to say that the yellow one doesn't do it for me. The hot rod, on the other hand, I really like. Taste differs :)

Thank you everyone. With the yellow one I just wanted to do something I've never done nor seen done before. I have different wheels in mind for it but currently only have 2 so I went with the yellow ones instead.

The hot rod was inspired by your Super Blower, L@go. Actually, I guess the other one was inspired by you in a way as well, because you're thread made me want to try this style. I'm not terribly fond of the larger City cars and how they use truck tires.

Haha, that's funny - not so strange that I like it, then :)

Although I'm not too fond of the yellow one, I applaud your attempt to try something different. That's the way to make progress - and somebody's bound to like it!
