MOC: A couple of vintage scale sporty cars

[trippybrowneyes]

I own a green 1994 Honda Del Sol in real life, so naturally I decided that my sigfig should have one. I wanted to keep it vintage scale (along the lines of the convertible from the Poolside Paradise set), but with modern pieces. Here is my real Del Sol:

Here is my Lego version:

I had so much fun building the first one, I decided to build a second sporty car:

Nice! I always liked the style of the Del Sol. Just wish it was lighter and faster haha. I see a lot of them around where I am with the bumpers that dont have the small round front lights.

Have you ever seen the Japanese Del Sol with motorized roof? It is so cool!!

I love these little cars. I might copy a few of these designs for my LEGO town. I prefer this scale vehicle from the original twon series. The new City cars are too fat for the roads in my LEGO town. I modified the NY taxi to fit a minifig and this scale works really well.

Mine's getting a supercharger at some point, so that will hopefully help. I have seen a video of the motorized roof. They're neat, but I've already built up my arm muscles lifting the roof off of mine (not that I could get my hands on a motorized roof anyway!). Plus I love how it fits into the trunk.

I know what you mean. I have to keep my vintage town separate from my modern town because the difference in scale bugs me. I'd like to see your town. :)
