Cars Radiator Springs.

[Lazarus]

Hello All.

I just go back from a resent lego show and I was putting on display my odd bods so not my train set. And I took my two Sons Cars and Cars 2 lego with me and they where loved by so many kids and adults.

So i though why the hell not lets make Radiator Springs it will be a nice side project to my trains and many other side projects. But if it puts that many smiles on peoples faces I am keen to have this next to my trains at our Shows.

First up, not sure why but "Luigis Casa Della Tires".

Thanks for Looking Matt.

That's a very nice representation. Can't wait to see more!

What an amazing idea! Train layouts are great but sometimes they can blend into one another, whereas this is sure to stand out, especially among the younger set. The model you have so far is great-looking!

What colors does that model use, though? It looks like you're using parts in colors that they aren't produced in, which would be a problem if you want to build it in real life for shows. In particular, you seem to be using Light Nougat (Light Flesh on Bricklink, a rare color for anything other than fig parts) for the walls and Olive Green (a less rare color, but one that lacks window frames like you're using) for the windows. The Light Nougat can be easily substituted for the much more common Brick Yellow (Tan on Bricklink), and even though it might be a poorer match I think the Olive Green parts mostly exist in Earth Green (Dark Green on Bricklink).

I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Thanks for the FYI about the colors, I normally dont worry to much until i get to the order stage and change color to what is available or mod the design to fit another part.

Step one for me is just get a good base down and then its easy to change stuff from there. I was meaning for the walls to be Tan any way. I was keen for the olive windows but might need to re think.

Ah! I was wondering the same thing about the colors.

So you are planning on making Radiator Springs for real? That's a very cool idea! Would love to see photo's of that!

[Lazarus]

Yup going to make the whole radiator springs. Working on the cosey cone right now.

Can't wait to see more, especially once you get to the real brick phase.

Are you going to make the tower of tires lean?

[Lazarus]

will be able to make the tower lean in real life, bit hard in LDD.

I figured LDD wouldn't allow such a thing. It's a bit fiddly sometimes. I have a great respect for people that actually use it for designing such large projects. I just don't have the patience.

[Lazarus]

I do everything In ldd before i buy the parts, I have done my whole train set on there over half a mill of bricks.

Lovely MOC project Lazarus!

Cars is one on my best movies from Disney Pixart!

[LegoStraz]

Great idea, made me think that a couple of these added to my modular layout would make my kids happy!

[Lazarus]

Cosey Cone is almost complete.

Cones in Bricks are hard to do, very. They dont look as good as I wanted but you can tell they are cones.

[TheRedViper]

Looking forward to seeing more after that, very nice work!

[Lazarus]

Update on the Cone.

Any other ideas to make better looking cones I am open for or if you all think this design is fine.

[Bricktrain]

looks good in LDD should be okay in bricks.

[meg0n00by]

Will it be good enough to upload these on LEGO Ideas?

[Lazarus]

I have no idea, not had many comment about the cones so not really do much more on this yet.

[JaseTJ]

Awesome builds! Like somebody else said, I don't have the patience to really do much in LDD (which is ironic seeing as I'm working on part of a project on there right now- but nothing near this level).

As for the Cozy Cone, I think they look alright, but would be better slighly taller. Also, a grey plate underneath might make them look a bit less like really fat carrots :P
