Rebuild of FJ Holden

[TimBurdon]

A while back I built a replica of a FJ Holden, and after destroying him just after Brickvention this year and promising myself I would not build another, I have. Mostly due to entering a Toy Building Blocks competition over on the Instructables website and also just to try out a few new ideas that when in the first build I did not know how to achieve.

So here he is, 32 Stud Racing's FJ Holden. I have added a few more features to this model, such as a semi-opening door, race stripes, roll frame etc.

Some of the photo's are from a recent trip the National Motor Museum, in Birdwood South Australia. He is in front of a real FJ Holden, to give you all an idea of the original car and the scale of mine.

Enjoy.

Wow you captured the real life car very well. I live the minifig as a hood ornament

I really like your version of the car, wonder if white was the best choice though as I think you have great lines in it, but they get a bit lost due to the white. It's very accurate and I am thinking it is on the same size as the Charlotte VW Beetle. Excellent job!

The main reason I went for white was because it was the most abundant colour I had at the time. My original colour design was to actually do it in just the original LEGO colours fading back over the car.

And he is a bit bigger than the Charlotte, about 80cm long and 40cm wide.

I was the minifig's as hood ornaments so that people have a reference on how large the model is.
