  1. I made a V6 Exige from 42096. Instructions are now on Rebrickable. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-31714/GeyserBricks/42096-c-model-lotus-exige-v6/#comments 42096 V6 Exige by James Tillson, on Flickr 42096 V6 Exige by James Tillson, on Flickr It looks better with a few added parts... 42096 V6 Exige by James Tillson, on Flickr
  2. I devolved 42096 back in to a road car. The offset on the 42110 wheels means the model is 23 studs wide using stand CV joint/double wishbone set up. I moved the engine to behind the rear axle and added a simple 2 speed gearbox.

  4. (Ferrari) Dino 246 - Features RC, independent suspension, opening boot and hood, full tan interior. Photo instructions are free on youtube.
  5. It is RC, using LiPo, Servo, V2 and 2x L motor. So far the doors and clam shells don't open, the lights don't pop up and there is no suspension.
  6. 1967 Ford GT40 MK I. The livery of this model was inspired by the number 17 GT40 that finished 2nd in class at the 1967 Sebring 12 Hour race.

  7. 1973 Ferrari BB built. It has Steering, suspension and a flat 12 engine. Doors and rear clamshell open. Pop up headlights are controlled by the gear stick. I used 42125 as a starting point but had to add a few parts (nothing rare or expensive). Lego Technic Ferrari BB by James Tillson, on Flickr Lego Technic Ferrari BB by James Tillson, on Flickr Lego Technic Ferrari BB by James Tillson, on Flickr Lego Technic Ferrari BB by James Tillson, on Flickr The chassis is 23 studs wide and will be used to make a Dino 246 and a 308 soon.

  10. I am a man of few words. I hope the models speak for themselves. All the info is in the first 3 seconds of the video. My B models out sell my MOCs by 5 to 1. Yes - they are all actually Ferrari Enzo.
  11. My first B model for 42115 is a Ferrari Enzo. Features. Steering V12 Engine Push-rod suspension 6 Speed gearbox with paddle shift (2 speed + 3 speed) Automatic 3 stage rear spoiler Opening doors, hood and engine cover. Instructions on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-46921/JamesJT/ferrari-enzo-42115-b-model/?inventory=1#comments I hope somebody builds a red one (with painted arch parts) More pictures on Flickr 42115 Enzo TLCB Lock-Down Competition by James Tillson, on Flickr
  12. 8041 (or 42041) Tribute made from 42111. Includes suspension, steering, V8, tilting cab and opening doors. Instructions on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-56096/JamesJT/racing-truck-42111-b-model/#details
  13. Renaultsport Spider from 42115. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-55364/JamesJT/renaultsport-spider-42115-b-model/#details Also looks better with 14 extra parts. Lego Technic Renaultsport Spider by James Tillson, on Flickr Lego Technic Renaultsport Spider by James Tillson, on Flickr
  14. Based on Sterling Moss Ferrari 250 GTO chassis 3505GT. Includes 5 speed gearbox, live axle with Watts linkage and room for a spare wheel. Instructions on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-54154/JamesJT/ferrari-250-gto/#details
  15. It does but the blanking panels are in place. All GTO were like this. It is is possible to blank off the vent on my model too with 6x 60483. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of this.
  16. No Miura (yet). I made another classic Ferrari. I learned how a Watts linkage works too now! About 4 weeks.
  17. I made a 1:7 scale Dino 246. It is based on 42115 but with extra green parts and the wheels and hubs from 42110. It has a five speed gearbox with a H pattern shift. It is actually a 6 speed using the wave selector but with 1st gear blanked off. Instructions and parts list are on rebrickable. The extra parts are much cheaper from the lego website than on bricklink. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-52289/JamesJT/ferrari-dino-246-gtb/#comments
  18. Maybe do this one in red too? Dino 246 1:7 by James Tillson, on Flickr Dino 246 1:7 by James Tillson, on Flickr
  19. Smart Roadster made from just the parts in 42115. It has a De Dion rear axle just like the real thing. Instructions on rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-49736/JamesJT/smart-roadster-42115-b-model/#comments
  20. It looks way better in red than white or black. I can't understand why lego don't make the arch panel in red. Dino and Stratos are related so it made sense to use that same chassis. Looking forward to seeing a complete red dino!
  21. I finally fished the two small Corvettes. They can be made in black or white and there will soon be a C2 convertible in dark azure too.

  22. I am going to try this with 42115 but it make have to be MOC rather than B model. Halfway through my second 42115 B model and I'm loving the new arches but lack of 7x3x2 lime panel is an issue. WHY can't we have a full palette in just one colour??? Thank you. I spend 80 to 100 hours making these models, I'm happy that you like and spent time looking at the details. Sorry about the front shell. I could have put the pivot point further forward but I could see the bracket and it spoiled the look My models never get many comments on Eurobricks but I rarely comment on others posts; It's karma! My i8 only got 2 replies. Let me know what you think of the gearbox. Its an odd one as half of it is transverse.
  23. All good ideas! Lets hope Lego need to use more lime green soon. Finding info on the Enzo aero was tough. There is a flap in the front somewhere that opens but I couldn't find out where. On this MOC the spoiler tilts up as you go through the gears, at least it moves even if its not in quite the right way. There were almost all the system parts and lots of black panels left over, lots of unused black 9L beams too. There is an inventory of what was used on Rebrickable. You can "compare" it to 42115 to see the unused parts.
  24. Thank you. I should check my Flickr account more often. I saved time by not building the Sian. They call it "50 shades" on Facebook. Even parts of the same type are different. Thank you. I always try to get them as smooth as possible. Agreed. I wish there were another a small green car to add in. Which other sets lime technic in?
  25. Wow. This is the first Lego competition I have won. Considering the quality of the entries I am genuinely shocked and honored. Thank you TLCB.
