[TC5] Old Racecar

[kennywest]

All,

I am going to create an old race car, something like this:

out of this set (8071):

Pictures will follow :)

Nice set choice. The wheels should be the closest at this scale.

[Tomik]

Good idea - I like such an old cars. Will it have any other functions besides steering? Pity this set doesn't contain fake engine...

[kennywest]

Indeed, it will have steering only :(

Maybe you can try to build fake engine similar to this one:

The scale, for the moment, doesn't allow it. It is inspired by this blueprint:

It does feature HOG and a working steering wheel for the driver, however. Anyway, I will try to post some pictures tonight. My camera is in the shop for cleaning, but I am getting it back today :)

saw some vintage racing cars in a historic weekend in Jerez recently, looking forward to seeing your version:

[Good old Lego builder]

That is a good start!

Looking very good! The grill might need some work though, it looks too low.

[Rishab N]

Looks good! I agree with Zblj the grill is a bit low

[gsia17]

oOhh, your car look like Auto Union. Good work!

[kennywest]

Yes, I know, the grill needs some work. Thanks for the comments, guys. Very much appreciated.

[Tomik]

Looks good! I have just one question - isn't it too small comparing to original model?

[kennywest]

Took some pictures today. You can find all of the pictures in my bricksafe.

It features:

- Hand Of God steering

- Working steering wheel

I know it doesn't use a lot of parts from the original set, but I guess it doesn't take a lot of parts to create a small race car :)

Anyway, this is my 4th MOC ever, so be gentle :)

Cool! Not a lot of functions, but the shapes are perfect. It really captures the spirit of '30s racecars perfectly, and this with very simple means. Bravo!
