[WIP] Lancia Stratos

[grum64]

Can't wait to see this when it's completed!

[piterx]

It's good to hear that it's not dead, and it looks like it's coming along great!

My only question is, will the battery stick out like this from the hood?

unfortunately yes :\

no way i can cover that without compromising the overall shape....

it's the price of having it so overpowered lol

i could place it in the cockpit if i renounce to have one of the two seats but then the weight distribution won't be the same as it is now

if only the battery pack was red XD

You could use the red battery box cover from the Red Cargo Train

Simple as that, but it looks like! Do it faster!

[piterx]

thank you guys :)

so i managed to move the battery box half stud backwards wich allowed me to hide it completely ^^

now im not sure if i wanna keep the rally frontlights or not....

what do you thing guys?

Congrats, the hood looks good now :) My opinion about the headlights is, remove them if you are going to do it in plain color, but keep them if you want to try the iconic alitalia racing livery.

Keep the lights. Cause without them it will be "ferrari";)

[EvilEnderman]

Awesome. Can't wait to see the final version. You really captured the looks of the original

[Alasdair Ryan]

How about replacing the one big door panel with two smaller ones.

yeah i might do something like that! that panel is too ugly lol

[Doc_Brown]

vroooom vroooooom. hehe

Looking super! I actually don't mind the door panel.

[robuko]

Looking fantastic! I preferred your earlier windscreen bottom edge, which really captured the curved look

you're totally right about the curved look! i reintroduced it :P

but the whole windscreen should be a little bit narrower....maybe 1 stud only

after this i just need to add seats and it's done :) hope you like it!

[Doc_Brown]

Looking so sweet! I still don't mind the doors at all, anything else would add a lot of weight.

When will the video be available? :P

[robuko]

Oh yes, the windscreen looks great now! I can't really tell from the photo angle, does the wing line still look good where it meets the windscreen? I feel a touch of Ferrari 308 or even 246 in the last shot.

This is a really wonderful model of an extremely difficult subject. Love it

[piterx]

actually i still need to modify that, it needs to be narrower and longer

the ferrari's look is always behind the corner lol

btw in this picture it could be a ferrari as well :D

[piterx]

done it! i reduced of one stud the windscreen top attachment and now it looks fine

now it just needs seats and some decent pictures :)

[grum64]

Beautiful!

[legomuppet9]

Great work piterx

I thought you were going to change the doors?
