Frank from the CARS movie

[jamie75]

Last night I was messing around with MLCAD and came up with this.

I like it and it is buildable. I think all the pieces used are available in the right colors, with the exception of the round elbows, they are only available in chrome. Now for a sticker for the face?! It is not 100% movie accurate, but, I tried to make as I thought Lego would!

Also, Mater is just for scale and reference!

Now, to work on some tractors?!

I agree, that's how Lego would make Frank, great work there 'jamie75' and keep on racing !

Very nice! I've been hoping that Lego would do more sets based on the original Cars, including a tractor-tipping set with Frank, a tractor, and Mater or McQueen. And I think this is a great rendition of how Frank could be done as a set, with one minor exception: I don't think Lego still uses the curved part you used for his "horns". But in terms of scale, style, and simplicity, this would fit right in with the rest of the Cars line!

I played with horns alot and this is the best solution I could come up with. That also looks the best, IMO. Lego might surprise us if they make a Frank and use those pieces, but, I too, doubt it.

Any other ideas?!

Also, the piece count for Frank is 138. So Lightning, Mater, Frank, and 2 Tractor with some fence pieces would probably be around a $50 set.

Good job! It looks really accurate. I think the horns you made look perfectly fine. They look good with the smooth curves.
