this thing looks excellent and VERY clean considering the 1/42 scale you've built it in! i think with a bit of tuning you can easily pull off a sweet F355 as well. hands down, that 360° spin is the stand-out feature for me! way too cool!

I must have those wings!!!

That Huracan is sharp! Your technique for making the upper (and lower for that matter) side intakes is very inventive. also the side-skirts! but the link to the real Huracan GT3 machine... that thing is down-right insane-looking... Would you happened to have built this with Ldraw? if so, I'd love to see how you've got so many of the new pieces to use! (hubcaps, 1x1 plate w/handle, etc) :D

Do you know if that old tire can be stretched to snug onto this wheel hub? I'm hoping the tire will fit into the deep groove in the hub... Much appreciated! http://www.bricklink.com/PL/42610.jpg http://www.bricklink.com/PL/4084.jpg

What? It's over. April Fools Day is just a single day. I mean should we drag the whole thing on till May? It's supposed to be fun!

I thought this had to do with a Technic car :x

LOL! The only issue with building in large scale, let alone Technic! Maybe I'll stick to 6wide after all xD Then again, I'm the sentimental type... (oh crap, I don't have any pics of my collection... will a bricklink haul count? Okay fine I'll take a pic tomorrow :P)

I just drown my frustrations with a huge bottle of alcohol. For me at the moment, I'm in the process (of what I consider to be) "building a collection". I'm in a kinda post-dark ages phase in my life.. hopefully. And since I'm not hung up on too many sets (luckily, since there's tons of sweet ones [I mean seriously LEGO, can you slow the f- down a little on the new releases? Jeez...]), I tend to focus on buying sets in colors that interest me more-so. Or utilizing craigslist, as a sort of poor-mans bricklink -_- ..though results may vary. Plus I might be lucky enough to be able to distract myself with other things outside of LEGO. I also think it can be pretty tough to compete with everything you see online! Sometimes I wonder peoples' secrets, like: "where did they get all those pieces o_O", or, "I wish I had the time to do that!!" *sighhh*

Here's a tray idea I had... I guess I got a little caught up building it.. Hope it helps. I've got a sorta "initial ideas" save as well where I have all kinds of parts lined up to help give me ideas (ie: various parts that have open stud-holes, a few SNOT parts and some clips, hinges, etc.) from before I got this idea. ^ example pic ^ collapsed ^ exploded Sorry if the pics are gigantic -_- Also, it's not super compact... Maybe with a little fiddling it could be shrunk a little bit. There's a few pieces that could make for a decent sorta "tray", and actually quite a few other pieces for achieving that "telescoping" or whatever you'd call it technique (like this old timey clip piece). I hope this helps! I meant to put a Minifig screwdriver on the tray, but maybe that would've been a little grotesque :x

Are you looking for a chair or a tray? Like a tray for holding the various utensils the dentist will use during that visit? I tried making one but it might be a little chunky... I'll put up a couple pics in a minute.

Has there ever been a remotely decent Jurassic Park video game? LEGO could be the one to do it...

OH NO YOU DON'T!!! *smack*

Ok! It's over! It's over. Even in Europe. Those dang mice are really starting to freak me out... They.. they just stare.. and stare. Into my... wait, is Mickey quite in and out of ph-ase/f-ocus.. or is it just me It's bad enough there's multiple websites claiming a DisneyTM-buys-Star Trek-TV-rights/DisneyTM to make some kind of Star Trek/STAR WARS crossover whatever... I mean that's just weak. PS: I did not add trademark tags to my isney-Day words -_-

Maybe I'm just passing along what I've heard -- using the various clips to hold a tile/plate has got to be one of the least stressing so-called illegal connections. I think there's "right and wrong" ways of using the technique, at least. LEGO pieces seem to have gotten VASTLY more fragile since the 90's too... I've also heard how using Minifigs in cars without the legs/torso/etc is "blasphemous" or whatever, but I don't mind xD I did it all the time! Easier to play with cars and the Minifigs who drive them haha. Sometimes, the requirement of fitting a Fig inside can be a hindrance. That's cool about the stickers too -- you're very good at using them so they really set off each MOC!!! LEGO however... The F1 is just such an incredible machine in every way! I wish it was still produced! Turbo's are for the lazy -- nothing beats mechanical tuning!~

O_O... also: you have a signature =P

Looks like some pretty nifty SNOT work at the rear. Those (brick built) fenders are sharp too, they give the car some very distinct lines. Keep it up, I'm actually already anxious to see what you'll come up with next!

Hi Hoexbroe! Your F1 looks pretty sharp. I said this when I first saw Paulo Daniels' version on MOCpages too: I never thought I'd see a McLaren F1 built at Minifig-scale!! Now there's been two of them within a few weeks! It's probably one of the toughest cars to build at this small scale... However you certainly get away with sitting the Minifig dead center in the cockpit LOL I wanna play! Those 1x6 tiles held on by clips are technically illegal (*gasp* =P they sure look good though!) Also, I think this car may be driven by a decapitated Minifig O_O!!! (*gassssp*) Superb job on the decaling! Since they're custom-made stickers, it seems cool that they might "not indefinitely" stick to a couple pieces (maybe if said pieces are easily cleaned later haha). Will we be able to see the F1 during competition on the huge raceday MOC??? Will it be out front!? *cheering for the F1, the last true supercar!!*

LEGO could be trying to push those (fairly new?) 8x16 and 16x16 plates (further, in various colors). Maybe they've also noticed just how much the majority of people who post their MOCs on the internet just don't use printed baseplates anymore...

-.- Have a Mickey day...

I was wondering if anyone with both of these pieces has tried this SNOT technique. Can you let me know how strong the connection is? I'm really hoping that round tile hole is a tight fit (I seem to think it will, or should be, based solely on my old school 90's LEGO intuition :x)... here's the two pieces followed by my idea in SR3D: http://www.bricklink.../PL/15535.jpg?1 Tile, Round 2 x 2 with Hole http://www.bricklink.../PL/87580.jpg?1 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Groove and 1 Stud in Center (Jumper) If this works it'll be perfect for my current MOC! I may even be able to use them side-by-side to make it even stronger. Maybe. I hope :P There is nothing quite like building with real bricks!!

Ah, that piece will be useful too! I think Ldraw still doesn't have those round 2x2 jumpers yet though, but the square one will work nicely! Cool GIF too, thanks Vorkosigan! Thank you, rodiziorobs!! I thought so! Luckily I'll just be going from one 2x6 plate to another (upside down one), but thanks for the additional tip! I've ran across this pronounced "LEGO" logo on the top of studs a few times lately... It's a minor issue, to the point that I'll probably end up sanding them down a little. From one piece to the next, just how pronounced the letters are can vary too, so I don't really mind if I'll have to sand one down here or there. My main use for this technique is actually just to have a few pieces secured, rather than simply floating there LOL.. Thanks again!

Oops, I was asking since I haven't got one of those round tiles w/hole through it in real yet :D I have a few of those 2x2 jumper plates from the Republic Cruiser, so I can't test out the technique in real yet :(

Nick, this is really awesome! and quite surprising, 'cause this scale of car seems very rare! Nice!!

*practice practice* maybe this is a good time to ask, is there a way to privately message someone? i'm afraid i might bump their topic for a simple question (which would actually be the second time i bumped it [but it was worthy imho ;D]). maybe i'll post it to them anyway since i'd like to credit them for a technique. please let me know the proper etiquette, thanks! i'll try to add a pic too! it's of my new 6wide Nissan R34 GT-R *ahem* edit: edit again, i tried resizing it........... dang, i used the "Image" button in the toolbar, but everytime i resize it and click save, it goes back to default :\
