Thanks! That is a good solution, but the mechanism that I have is for remote opening from the rear... I am actually using the new steering arms to create the pivot point for the up and outwards motion...

Aaah I see, I'm looking forward to your solution, and the car of course

[Jim]

Frontpaged!

And looking at your impressive portfolio, you definitely earn this tag

[dikkie klijn]

Thank you Jim

[Milan]

Congrats for two nice things you got! You earned it!

[Meiko]

Wow, that's amazing. Looks extremely realistic and accurate to the real thing. Do you have any intentions to put it on LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas? I'd definitely support it!

[Energo]

More than cool! It's awesome! Have no words, only emotions!))

Really wonderful MOC.

[bord4kop]

Has it really been 16 months allready?

When you first mentioned it I was anxious to see the full thing.. and now .. well to be honest; I am amazed!

This is truly one piece of great engineering!

And the way it looks.. Excellent!

What a perfect MOC! :wub:

Impressive work!

Way too complex and expensive for LEGO Ideas.

The way you've built this in modular sections impresses me most. Watch the first part of the video was almost exactly like watching a real one being built. Congrats on your tag and being front paged

[gunm]

Really sweet

Looks pretty good.

Any update on the instructions? Seems like something that'd be right up Blakbird's alley.

[legolijntje]

Well, I got the chassis pretty complete (it only needs to be tested by someone). The body still needs to be done, but Dikke and I were both very busy last weeks, but I think work has calmed down again

Well, if you need someone to help, give me a call.

[Polo-Freak]

I can help to for Testing

[Kronos]

Sign me up as a test subject. ;) I've been waiting months for this model...

If my alley hadn't been so full, I would have been all over this. As it stands, I am just as eager to start building it as everyone else.

[jantjeuh]

Still need help with testing legolijntje?

[jorgeopesi]

How I could not comment on this before? , amazing car .

[Kierna]

Brilliant

[kamsohal]

amazing moc

[legolijntje]

Yup, instructions are almost finished. Here's a wip picture. As you maybe can see, the digital model isn't completely perfect (a few litle overlapping parts). The model has all those weird angles that it's quite difficult to recreate digitally.

And, in real life, you can put a little stress or bend a part a millimeter. In LDraw, all parts stay just completely straight

And, to be honest, the car is far from legally build concerning Lego's rules for legal building...

The most "important" one (and the only thing I don't like that much about this car personally) is that you need to take the springs out of a stiff (yellow) shock absorber. Although it doesn't damage the parts and you can put the shock absorber back together, it's just not the most elegant way to make a suspension. But, you have to make sacrifices if you want to have good looks and this model looks (in my opinion) beatiful

But, yea, I think the instructions will be finished within a week (or two)

(unless the testing shows that the current steps are just garbage :P )

Awesome, good job!
