I am thinking about buying one of those(instructions to either one of them), perhaps later on when I get tired of looking at my current Legos and my wife stops nagging me about finding them a proper place.

Amazing cars by the way, hope you do great with the instructions sale :)

Cheers.

Is this the suspension that it uses?

yes that is the suspension

Hi,

Are you also providing a part list? it isn't clear from the description

(I am not talking about a PDF part list, but rather a text file that can be imported into bricklink)

Nice model. Great you have the instructions. I will definitely buy a copy when I am done with Nathanael's Concept Car

[Burf2000]

I am tempted to get these, very nice model

Same here! It looks cool and it's yellow instead of red

I just bought the instructions for this COOL ride! Skyliner has 7 large pictures of his Vector W8 Super Car on his Brickshelf gallery (under the name "Sky-liner"):

Cool Car! The only thing that I don't like very much is all of the places that are only catching a half a stud of axle length on the suspension. Seems very easy to work itself loose. Especially when you are talking about something that moves about like suspension does.

Skyliner, are these instructions photos of the building steps or actual instructions like Nathanael Kuipers' Concept car?

Since I just bought and downloaded Skyliner's 5-part PDF instructions, I can say that these are "actual instructions". The typical instruction page consists of three closeup photos (stacked top-to-bottom on the left side of the sheet), with helpful arrows and numerals pointing to key areas. On the right side of each page, there appears an inset photo of the parts & quantities you need for each step, just like one would see on the official Lego building instructions. The combination works quite well.

This car looks great, I may buy the instructions.

How many parts btw? ~1500...?

Using a calculator and Skyliner's 3-page visual Parts List, I counted 1,463 parts for his Vector W8 model (which looks pretty close to the real thing):

Thank you DLuders, that answered to my question. :)

i will create a excel parts file for import.

Hi

They are CAD enhanced photo steps in sequence, with 3D CAD parts required graphics, not a 3D graphics CAD file, so unlike the concept car i guess, but do the job fine.

thanks, the design is very low, hence the single stud suspension travel distance, however it works fine, and enables the car to retain the low profile lines. The suspension is very solid.

I meant the 2 length axles that are just catching 1/2 a stud of length by the shocks. That area seems like it could work itself loose. This also looks similar to the suspension that crowkillers did in one of the Lamborghini models that he did.

ok i see, the suspension is pretty solid, but you need to build it to see that, it wont work loose.

The suspensions can only be built in so many configurations, however, although similar, this suspension is different from the crowkillers Murcielago

No, I just meant similar to how the suspension works. I wasn't saying that it was a copy.

Skyliner, how large is the file?

[DLuders]

...how large is the file?

After I paid for Skyliner's Vector W8 PDF building instructions, he e-mailed me 5 different files:

Part 1 (3.595 MB)

Part 2 (3.145 MB)

Part 3 (0.996 MB)

Part 4 (2.268 MB)

Part 5 -- Part Inventory (0.415 MB)
