Rolic Posted February 1, 2015 Here's another picture in my LEGO history book. Ok.. not really a book, but some sort of booklet it could be for sure. At year 2011 I already had quite decent white brick collection and I wanted to see - how curvy I can go. So I looked for one of the craziest and curviest rare supercars I could find. This British beauty turned up in the google image search - so, let's build it. The side intakes and the small increase to the rear turned out quite good, I think. Take a close look - it is not increase by one plate heigh. It is by half plate heigh. It's quite tricky, but have never failed me since then. Whenever I have enough room to make it for the slight window side line increase - I do it. I don't remember now, but I think this is more or less one of the first models I started to use blueprints and LEGO-grid to stick to the scale 1 : 15. If you want more info about that method - just let me know. Of course - apart from curvy exterior if features some funcion too. Doors open, trunk, hood - all three open too. Yea.. this one is middle engine supercar - therefore the engine cover is separate from the trunk lid which has a speak spoiler installed to. I'm really proud of the door-window frame and how strong the roof turned out. It could support it's own weight without any damage. As always - link to the flicker album: Hope you like it Cheers.

Jeroen Ottens Posted February 1, 2015 You have been building some outstanding models. Keep 'em coming... That roof is certainly stronger than it looks. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grum64 Posted February 1, 2015 Instantly recognisable. I don't know how you build it but I'm soooooo very glad you did. It's astonishing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rishab N Posted February 1, 2015 Wow this is beautiful. One of the best cars I've seen in that scale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Posted February 1, 2015 I remember this marvelous creation from before! I was blown away! Those curves, lines and overall look...wow. Did anyone here happen to play Jaguar game on Amiga 500 maybe? That was one of my favorites, and I learned a lot about XJ220 back then. Sry for offtopic.

Paul Boratko Posted February 1, 2015 That is a thing of beauty..! Well Done..! :thumbup: Did anyone here happen to play Jaguar game on Amiga 500 maybe? I remember the first game that I ever played with the XJ220 was Need for Speed 2... It was the fastest car in the game.. Well except for the secret car...

Tomik Posted February 1, 2015 WOW, this model is simply awesome! I can also remember this Jaguar from Need for Speed 2 even it wasn't my favorite car. It's unbelievable how many details you've made in such a small scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lundgren Posted February 2, 2015 Wow you are really good with capturing the forms of the things you build! I really love your Scania T so much that i'm trying to reverse build it, but it's really hard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin Korstanje Posted February 2, 2015 All of your builds are JEWELS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolic Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks guys for the compliments. Good luck Lundgren. Do you want to know that I have fully made it RC ? It uses 8 functions, meaning - I take all 4x2 channels to operate it. Took more than year to finish it. I even now I think how to improve it all. Buuut.. that's an other topic to chat about :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lundgren Posted February 2, 2015 You just have to start a topic about your Scania! I think more people than me will be amazed by it! And use lots of photos! ;) (Ps) I also love your volvo! (Ds) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
