My first City MOC Lightning Lime Hot Rod

[coveredincolour]

I saw this set in a store and just had to take it home home and tweak it still not happy so I guess its a work in progress. I think I will increase the width by two studs and add another 2 or 3 studs to the length to even it out. As is its 4x14 so I would like to get it closer to minifig scale, I know the picture is terrible but so is my camera. Any comments or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and enjoy.

If you want minifig scale you need at least 5 to 6-wide for the smaller cars, 7 to 8 wide for "regular" cars, and sometimes 9 to 10 wide for big things like 18-wheelers (though you can get away with making them just 8 wide).

You'll also need bigger tires than those of course :)

I think that rod will look great once you figure out the proportions a little better.

Had some extra time today so I spent it tweaking this one some more. I got it pretty close to minifig scale, it seats one so thats a start. I am rather happy with how it turned out but can never leave anything well enough alone so any ideas on how to improve would be appreciated as always. Rather than post a bunch of pics you can check it out on Flickr: flickr.com/photos/69773516@N03/sets/
