Labaznik Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 nice work Mifody! can we see how two minifigures sit in car? l think "Merlin Monro" from 9 series of mf very good looking with this car! Quote
EvMan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Hola! Excellent work, mifody! You've nailed the shape and proportions. I want one. Or two. EvMan Quote
ER0L Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 As already written on Flickr, this car isn't "based" on Freddie's design, it *is* his design - you've just copied it. You haven't called it a MOC, but it's not even a MOD. So everything pointed out here concerning the design of the car should be addressed to the original designer. Quote

And as I have already replied to You on flickr - Yes, it is a model from Freddie, but build from bricks. Still, it's not an exact copy of the internal design is slightly changed, also the model is presented in a different color scheme.And yet - this is the first model of Cadillac from Freddie, implemented in bricks!

monsinjor Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I love it. The fig looks like Clint Eastwood :) Quote
Modulex Guy Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Works really well as an 8 wide! The real cars are big ol' land yachts and you captured the scale perfectly! Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 AWESOME 'mifody'.....the front end is perfect......you only need to make a pink one so Elvis can drive his mom around in ! Brick On Drive On 'mifody' ! Quote
ER0L Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 you only need to make a pink one so Elvis can drive his mom around in ! Great idea, but it's already existing. In fact pink is the original colour of Freddie's design, mifody has just changed the colour: Quote
snaillad Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Very cool! Really like the old photography look! Quote
Legogal Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 This car and driver look like they belong in Pecos, Texas where cowboy booted/hatted oilmen were not ashamed to drive their wives' pink Caddy convertibles during my childhood. My best friend's grandfather drove one, and we little kids would slide back and forth on the white leather back seat when "B" turned corners fast. Lucky to survive those rides as "B" was rarely sober, and many drives were to the liquor store for more juice. This was before US cars had seat belts. One other drawback was that the sun is fierce in the West Texas desert, and sunburn was a real problem if we were going more than ten miles. Nice model built and LDD versions! Quote
Only Sinner Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Good to see this fine car In The Brick. The '50s-'60s Cadillac had the same chassis and basic frame, so this model could essentially be modified to be any of those model years, These cars are known for their large Texas-sized proportions, so the scale is quite accurate, too. Good job to both the designer and the builder. I am going to build one, too. Thanks for the inspiration. Quote
Andy D Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 They just don't make cars like that anymore! My father-in-law had an Eldorado, not a convertsble, but huge. Nice job converting LDD to bricks. Andy D Quote
