_TLG_ Posted March 31, 2022 Hello Porsche and Speed Champions fans, Porsche 906 aka Carrera 6 is a street-legal racing car from Porsche. It was announced in January 1966 and 50 examples were subsequently produced, thus meeting the homologation requirements of the FIA's new Group 4 Sports Car category to the number. The type would also compete in modified form in the Group 6 Sports Prototype class. For the year of the car's debut in 1966, it achieved numerous victories. The main inspiration came from a plastic toy car which I received as a child. Building instructions are available on the following links: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-106735/_TLG_/porsche-906 It is a studless build in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style. I wanted to create a sleek model which is as accurate as possible in this small scale. I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, and therefore only a standard vehicle registration plate sticker is used. My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. The model contains lots of details: for example the emblematic front, the side view mirrors, the side air intakes etc. . Maybe the most challenging one was the iconic headlight, lots of solutions were tested before the final one. I tried to fill every unnecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used. The model has space for one minifigure. I suggest to use a helmet or small hair.

Feuer Zug Posted April 1, 2022 Great job capturing the curves of this sports car. Your design for the headlights is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_TLG_ Posted April 1, 2022 @Feuer Zug Thanks a lot! It was a really challenging detail, as I wanted to avoid using stickers :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlict Posted April 2, 2022 Wow that's great. Pity there isn't a more 'domed' windscreen for the front glass (that would been good for the speed champs 512m too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have reviewed all of the available parts and I haven't found better solution than this one. I think this one is better than the windscreen of 512M, that is more curvy in the middle, but I don't like its conical front and also couldn't be transferred nicely to the rear windscreen. I prefer the brick built solutions and the used part already have red print, which is not perfect for this car, but fits :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
