10242 Mini Cooper Convertible MOD

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

I modified the new Mini Cooper into a convertible.

Lego Scala Figures fit well to the scale of the model:

Mini side by side with VW T1 bus, unfortunately not an exact match of scale:

And together with my Eriba Puck camping trailer, the Lego Belville children fit well with the scale:

Woah! Is it already available for purchase?

I'm also astonished! *huh*

Where did you buy this?

really like the convertible option you did, sadly this is about the size of the Mini I expected to see, I really wish they had made it twice this size...for $100 US I do not feel this is a super value, sure it is still below the 10 cents per part, but I see a lot of 1x1 pieces there, which to me should be no more than 2 cents per piece

This is like opening a bag of chips that is half air...sigh. Still, I will likely pick it up, so I complain and yet go against my complaint.

This looks really neat. I may have to MOD it too! I think the official set will look nice on its own, but this convertible looks delicious. It adds a lot to the overall design.

I hadn't thought of Scala figures before. My daughter would probably go crazy for them...do I dare show her?

I really like the convertible MOD. However, I do think the folded top is a bit too big. Looking at the "original MOD" I think the grey parts can be discarded.
