[MINI] Muscle car

[tibivi]

Hello everyone

This is my entry for the mini contest running on this forum.

It's a mini muscle car:

The functions are:

• Working steering with HoG
  
• Working (3 cilinder in a row) fake engine
  
• Rear suspension with rubber band
  

top view with engine in the back:

And the separate parts list:

The rest of my pictures can be found on my flickr photostream:

Looks good, but pictures are really bad...Please post better pictures.

[Rishab N]

That is really cute! I like the details

[tibivi]

Thanks both

i will try to take better pics tomorrow,

these were taken with my phone

[Black-Build]

Looks funny, I like how you made the wheels

[viracocha]

The better photoes will make this more beautiful!

Hm.. I do not understand your experiment with the wheels. Why don't you use the standard wheels?

[tibivi]

Thanks all :)

Here are some better pics:

Here you can see the blue seats

@ Viracocha: I did not use the normal one's because firstly i thought this was more technic and i had never seen this before, and secondly, i didn't have them (they're on another model) :p

I like what you did with the rims!!

Why don't you use the white background and shoot some pictures outside. Most phone shoot pretty decent pictures during daytime.

I like the wheels - very technic and never thought of doing this...

[tibivi]

Thanks for the tip Jim

Here is the ldd file http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/legorider/musclecar/minicontestcar.lxf

for verifying the parts.

perfectly done car roof

Great model. So this is becoming a small BeLUG competition as well :)

[PROlego]

Love it! Do you think you could put openable doors.

[tibivi]

Thanks for your nice comments :)

@kennywest: yes it will, I had actually 3 mini models; this one, a bike helmet and a mini version of the air tech claw rig.

@PROlego: yes, probably this would be possible but not in the 200parts limit, if you replace the red 12L axles, nice idea actually :p

[tibivi]

So yes, it can be done :p

(the doors itself could be done with fewer parts, but i didn't found them, 2 red 2L beams with a 3L pin with bush)

What do you think?

[Gabor]

Fantastic! The opening doors make it much better! I like the photos in the reply: "Here are some better pics:" !

[PROlego]

Much better! I think it will also look better with doors closed.

[Boulderer]

The doors are a big improvement

[tibivi]

Thanks for your feedback :)

There are more pictures in my flickr gallery, also one with the doors closed.
