[TC20] 8832 Roadster

One of my favorite small sets as a kid. Priority is to make it as “low density” as possible, just like how the old sets used to be so simple.

Imgur is being grumpy at the moment, so I’ll try to add a comment next. Duplicate origin sets are allowed, so this is not a reservation.

There we go, had to add the “.jpeg” to the direct link.

Anyhow this is obviously not the perfect original build, since I strongly prefer to keep some older parts quarantined.

I had to go two studs wider to get the effect I wanted. This solution holds together well, and has the same thin lightweight look as the original. Even stud width because of the steering rack. I may have stolen the wheels from my son’s collection.

Rear suspension has two springs instead of one. Because I added width, one spring would have been in the middle of a 10 stud axle. At the wheels, the length/width ratio looks quite good.

Very clever use of this fork-like piece as mounting for front wheel :-)
