Hello Corvette and Speed Champions fans, The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) is the third generation of the Corvette sports car that was produced from 1967 until 1982 by Chevrolet for the 1968 to 1982 model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new. It set new sales records with 53,807 produced for the 1979 model year. Building instructions are available on the following link: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-176144/_TLG_/corvette-c3-stingray It is a studless build in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style. I wanted to create a clean 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 two vehicle registration plate stickers are 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 front bumper, the emblematic side grills, the side view mirrors, the embedded tail lights, the fuel cap etc... I tried to fill every unnecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used. The instructions includes some modification ideas, for example front blinker and alternate side grill, see picture 6, and luggage rack, see picture 5. The model has space for two minifigures with helmets or small hairs.

Hello Chevy and Speed Champions fans, The 1957 Chevrolet is a car that was introduced by Chevrolet in September 1956 for the 1957 model year. It was available in three series models: the upscale Bel Air, the mid-range Two-Ten, and the One-Fifty. It is a popular and sought after classic car. Its image has been frequently used in toys, graphics, music, movies, and television. The '57 Chevy, as it is often known, is an auto icon. This model is based on one of my favorite Matchbox as a child. Building instructions are available on the following links: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-87788/_TLG_/57-chevy-matchbox-version Kit is available here: https://buildamoc.com/products/57-chevy-matchbox-version It is a studless model in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style. It can be built either with fixed doors, or with openable doors. I personally prefer the fixed door version (Speed Champions style) as it is more sturdy and there are no half plate thick gaps below the doors. I minimized the use of stickers to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, therefore only two standard vehicle registration plate stickers are used. My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. I wanted to build the model as accurate as possible in this small scale, therefore it contains lots of details: for example the brick built flame decoration, the emblematic front bumper with the vehicle registration plate and front lights, the side view mirrors and the rearview mirror, the tiltable seats etc.. Maybe the most challenging one was the brick built number on the trunk. I tried to fill every unecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used. The model has space for two minifigures on the front seats. There are some space before the rear seats too, but it is enough only for a minifigure without legs.

This is an Impala I made trying to recreate with Lego the one that Ice Cube drives on the music video "It Was a Good Day".This MOC had some challenges, making an articulated suspension to simulate several positions and support the height of the car.Also, the green mudguards were a pain in the megablocks to find, it was released only one part in just one set (Marvel Superheroes set).The chrome touch is made with the parts I bought from Chrome Block City.The Ice Cube's bandana, I paint in black one pirate bandana, then I draw by freehand with a Sakura pen and finally put some Tamyia clear gloss varnish.

[MOC] El Camino Del Infierno - Chevrolet El Camino, Dragster Concept
Sérgio posted a topic in LEGO Town
Hi! I wanted to make an El Camino a long time ago, but I don't make "normal cars", so, I think of mixing some Dragster aesthetics with the classic El Camino 72 SS look. So this was the result. It's 8 wide, room for 2 minifigs. I try to make an engine most detailed as possible in a room 4x5 studs. Sorry (not sorry) to the Lego Purists, I paint the covers on the front wheels and the back rims with Silver Chrome and then with Clear red. the rest of the chrome parts are custom parts professionally chromed by Chrome Block City.

LEGO version of a 1963 Chevrolet Impala I choosed for dimensions that would fit in a city lay-out (so not the Joker Lowrider dimensions for example). But that means I had to make some comprimises as I wanted to avoid to end up with a block on wheels. This is my first MOC-car since my childhood. I am happy with the result :D There are some stuff I would have done different if the right bricks existed (or if I had them in my collection) Sorry if the bad background/lighting is a bit disturbing, The perfect room to take pictures is under renovation, so I had to find an alternative, which was not easy given the dark and gloomy days nowadays...

ANDY'S: BEST BURGER IN TOWNCome and taste the best burger in town: 100% high quality beef in a cool stand? I must admit I'm a big fan of hamburgers, especially if served in a beautiful restaurant marked by a modernist architecture. My latest creation joins my passion for the most famous sandwich in the world and the vintage architecture. Andy's stand boasts a retro modernist design, with an elegant V-shaped roof, bustling terrace and googie style signage. A large burger stands out on the roof and makes sure you don’t pass this one by. The terrace has two nice tables where customers can enjoy hamburgers and other delicacies under the umbrellas. Flower pots, electricity poles, garbage bins and other details complete the scene. Inside the stand you can find everything you need to make great hamburgers of all kinds, fries and coffee. On the the back a guy is unloading his vintage van and delivering fresh beef and vegetables.Below few pictures. More info and pictures on my Flickr Thanks for stopping by!

All my recent car mods go here! 1929 Ford Model A (75875 MOD) This car is a model of a Ford Model A, which was inspired by the hot rod Model A in set 75875 (Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford Model A Hot Rod) from the 2016 Speed Champions lineup. This is the third version of this car, and I have I remodeled the front and grille area due to input from Flickr user Tim Henderson. Here is the inside, which can seat one mini-figure. The rear of the car has room for a license plate. As a side note, this car is also build-able in these other colors: -Red -Dark Bluish Gray -Light Bluish Gray -Black -White Here is the original car (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...Model-A-Hot-Rod ) LDD file for my version: http://www.moc-pages...1455912787m.lxf 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (75874 MOD) I thought the '69 Chevy Camaro in set 75874 (Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race) would look better in street form. I recreated it using the instructions at Brickset albeit I made some small changes to the model to avoid using stickers. (such as smaller tires, real headlights, a rear window and front grille) HOWEVER: After building the model in black, I realized it would also work in red and blue instead of the regular black. I then added another set of dark bluish gray stripes beside the main white stripe. As before, the model can hold 1 figure in the drivers' seat. The car is most likely build-able in real life in red (maybe yellow too) as well as the basic black seen in the original set. The inside can seat one mini-figure, and the roof is removable to put the fig in the seat. This roof section is grouped in LDD to make it easier to remove. The back end of the car originally had huge rear tires and no rear windscreen. I replaced the monster tires with regular ones and added a 2 x 2 slope to represent a back window. Here is the original car (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...amaro-Drag-Race ) And here is the LDD file for my blue version: http://www.moc-pages.com/user_images/80135/1457367796m.lxf 1966 Ford Anglia 105-E (4728 MOD) This is my 2016 version of the car in set 4728, (Escape from Privet Drive). This car type is famous for being used in the movie "Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets". In real life, this car type was made by a Ford for sale in the United Kingdom and was called a Anglia. This particular version (a 105-E Super) was built from 1959 - 1968. The new version features an opening trunk, doors, seating for two figures and a removable roof. The model is also build-able in medium blue, yellow and white. Here is the rear of the car with the trunk closed. Here we can see the roof removed and the doors and trunk open. This model can seat two figures side by side due to the jumper plates that the figures feet sit on. Here is the original car and it's set (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...om-Privet-Drive ) LDD file for my version: http://www.moc-pages.com/user_images/80135/1457303956m.lxf 1966 Volkswagen Micro-bus (Rock Band bus MOD) This model was inspired by a PDF of the LEGO Rock Band bus, but in red instead of orange. I removed the funny-car style wheels and massive engine replacing them with vent cover for the engine. The rear of the bus, which can seat 3 figures, and is build-able in blue, yellow, black, and the red version you see above. LDD file for my version: http://www.mocpages....1416926983m.lxf 1969 Volkswagen Beetle (5 wide custom MOD of a MOC) Built from these old instructions by Whoward 69. (link: https://www.flickr.c...57624191463040/ ) I converted this 5 wide car to a hardtop and replaced the wide original wheels with a more Beetle-like solid disc. I also changed the color to yellow instead of green and added a license plate at the back. This car seats 1 mini-figure. LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1417396431m.lxf Porsche 918 Spyder (75910 MOD) This is a modified version of set 75910. (Porsche 918 Spyder) It now has a hardtop roof, headlights, a front grille, along with a redone windscreen and wheels / wheel wells. (This is due to LDD not having those newer Speed Champions parts!) The car also features a removable roof and seating for one mini figure. This model is also missing parts, specifically two of these ( http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=18980#T=C ) in Light Bluish Gray and one in Black for the front and rear bumpers. They go where the 2 x 3 wedge plates go on the bumpers ONLY. The other slopes on the sides of the car stay put. The roof is removable and allows for access to the car in order to put the driver in his seat. The rear of the car is where the engine is supposed to be. Here is the original car.

[WIP] 63 Chevrolet Impala
Graydingo posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
EDIT:___________________________________________________________ Here's where I'm currently at: Modeled after this Impala. and some current build pics Well I'm off to a fresh start on a new MOC. I learned so much during the process of my last build that I thought I would dive right into another car with similar properties. It will likely be another air ride model with a more competent power train and taking all the things I learned on my truck and incorporating them into a lighter, smaller and more functional MOC. The 63 has a lot of really great body lines and it should be fun to take a sort of street rod approach to a version of the Impala. Right now I'm sorting out what wheels I want to scale the model to. I was thinking these; off the MKII With those tires I'm looking at about 27 studs wide and 64 or so long. I'm also thinking about ordering some of the 8448 super street sensation wheels since they are already sort of chrome and have an extremely low profile tire. The problem (as I found out in my 66 custom moc) is the wide tires make adding air ride harder, since it gives you less distance between tires to achieve your steering and suspension setup. Plus if I go with those, it'll be up to 80 studs long! Lastly, I was perusing Effermans custom parts page. Someone posted some American Racing style rims, but I don't see them on his shapeways account. Anyone know how I might achieve the style as shown in the first photo for the rim? -
I apologize this isn't in real bricks yet, but I promise it will happen as soon as I can do it. This is a mod of the truck from the just-released 60085. I've been wanting to do a bro-tractor style truck for quite a while and gathered up tons of references to do my own design, but I felt this platform was just right to mod from. Here it is: Features include massive investment in forward-facing light apparati, sweet paint job, chromed-out front clip (to be special-ordered for the Real Thing!), janky front lift... ...False stacks in the bed (and Real Exhaust under the chassis), multiple sets of lift blocks above the rear axle, aftermarket tail lights and tailgate illumination strip... ...Retained gooseneck hitch, plus plenty of room for, uh, energy drinks... ...and an epic drop hitch that I am very proud of (and some weird green berries). I was going to create the minifig piecemeal, but I may as well just put the standard-issue Rapper minus his mic in the cockpit. (though the windsurfing print does look more appropriate than the chain) Enjoy, and stay tuned for the Real Thing as soon as I can afford to build it.
