[MOC/WIP] Mini cooper

[Chilli]

Still gotta add in motors and stuff, they are being used in my other moc right now.  I also need to add more details to make it look more like a rally car.

 

Its 9v battery is stored in the hood.

Constructive criticism is appreciated!

[Berthil]

I don't have constructive feedback, only a question.

Where do you see any resemblance to a Classic Mini or a New MINI in this MOC?
Apart from the red 'Chile Red' color for MINI's or same color as the Mini that won the Monte Carlo rally in 1964 with Paddy Hopkirk.
Or will you put a sticker on it with '33 EJB' when it is finished?

The only constructive feedback I have is take  it apart and start over again and look at a picture this time.

I asked for construction criticism, not "take it apart and try again"

While it doesn't look much like a mini to me, more like a lowered jeepster, take it apart and try again probably isn't necessary. I do think it should be changed considerably really couldn't say where to start, definitely the fenders and front grill could use a do over. That does look like an interesting suspension setup on the rear axle, like to see more of it. Underside picture would be nice.

I agree with the front fenders and grill needing a redo, and I already posted a picture of the underside, I'll also take pictures of the rear suspension tommorow!

Are you trying for the classic Mini Cooper, or the BMW rehash?

The BMW Mini is a tank compared to the original Mini !

I agree with @Berthil 

You should start again but build at a large scale so that modeling is easier.

Good luck.

Agreed, it's closer in size to the Maxi than the Mini
