Thanks. I will make building instructions once I get back from Le Mans and have improved the cars even more (interior, more clearance in the wheel arches, etc). The rear spoiler is currently as sturdy as the real car - if it was made of paper.

I will allow myself to bump this topic with a congratulations to the PFx team on achieving the first goal on Kickstarter! The stats are currently: CA$ 69,766 pledged of CA$ 68,000 goal 322 backers 9 days to go

Thanks, and yeah. It would be nice with real stickers. These are simple paper cutouts glued on using paper glue. Here the car is with the #2 livery. It's a simple modification :D

I have finished both cars now! :) I am still working on the pictures for the Toyota where it is standing alone. I don't have much light, so the combination of white and black is a bit hard to get right in pictures. To be continued :)

Update! I have updated the model substantially and made building instructions Instructions here: http://c-mt.dk/instructions/models_car-Porsche919.htm See my last post for more images of the latest updated model This is Porsche's entry into the LMP1 Hybrid class of Le Mans 2017. It will most likely be either this car or the Toyota TS050 Hybrid that wins the big race next weekend. This model is in scale 1:20. Shown here is the #1 car driven by Neel Jani, Nick Tandy and André Lotterer. Notice the "24H Le Mans" plackard on the side indicating the Le Mans trim. It will be easy to change to the #2 car (the other Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans) by simply changing the three parts with the "1" to "2". This car can not be uploaded to LEGO Ideas because of the ongoing LEGO/Porsche collaboration. It would have been cool with a "The hybrid LMP1 cars of Le Mans 2017" project. For WIP pictures of this model, see the Toyota TS050 Hybrid topic:

I'm backer #243. With a PFx brick, trucks like my DAF XF could truly come alive. As you can see, right now it uses an SBrick to get those additional lights to work (The bottom of the SBrick can be seen through the windscreen).

Thanks. And yes. I will make instructions for this once it is complete. Now it has been finished, but I still have to colorize it: I am thinking of a green color scheme with stripes and multiple shades of green. Let's see how that ends up.

Thanks. I solved that issue using additional windscreen cladding, and 1x1 corner panels. I tried many ways of including the red frame of the air scoop, but had to give up ;( Here is the first rough prototype. It is mainly with High Downforce detailing, which all has to be changed. Currently on my TODO list for improvements: - Add read lights. They should be right above the 1x2 grileld slopes. - Chrome pearl rims might look better - Black surround for the windscreen bottom - Interior - The red wings of the front should be placed one plate up, and the tip should be slimmer - Exhaust (those 1x1 plates don't do it) - Proper Modelling of the rear flat section. - Larger air holes in the back - Larger empty boxes above the front wheels - Cover the inside of the front wheel arches - Make the inside of the rear wheel arch openings rectangular - Upgrade to Low Downforce configuration. I will naturally consider all comments for improvements from you guys. UPDATE! I have created a new version! Let's take a look at the list of improvements from above: - Add read lights. They should be right above the 1x2 grilled slopes. Done. But they are on the spoiler, not the lower section: - Chrome pearl rims might look better I have checked this. They don't look as good as expected. It could be fixed by turning the wheels so you see them from the other side, but I found the current setup to look the best. - Black surround for the windscreen bottom. Done. As you can see in the photo above, there is no longer the red studs right beneath the windscreen. This makes it look much, much better. The photos from before were a bit deceiving because you couldn't properly see how bad it was. - Interior. A steering wheel has been added, but I would still like to make an even better interior. - The red wings of the front should be placed one plate up, and the tip should be slimmer. The whole front has been updated to look like the low downforce version, including this detail. - Exhaust (those 1x1 plates don't do it). The new 1x1 plates with teeth look much more like the rear thing. - Proper Modelling of the rear flat section. Done. The whole frame has been rebuilt. - Larger air holes in the back Done. The curvature is now also more accurate. - Larger empty boxes above the front wheels Done. As you can see, lowering the wheels half a plate allowed me to lower the sides a plate and also allowed for proper wheel openings - Cover the inside of the front wheel arches Done. Are you can see, there is now also curves around the headlights on the inside now. - Make the inside of the rear wheel arch openings rectangular. Done. - Upgrade to Low Downforce configuration. Done. This is most evident on the front, but after using proper pictures from the #9 car from the WEC race at SPA, I have also been able to update the rest of the car. This change has also lead to the delete of the top air scoop because it should only be one plate high. With the lowering of the wheel arches, I decided to be very thorough and ensure the height of the cockpit also matches the real car. The side mirrors are black now because I used the #9 car as reference. You can differentiate the cars at speed by seeing the side mirrors (and typically also a different color above the windscreen). There is still a whole week until I leave for Le Mans, so many things can change until then. I will gladly take suggestions for improvements. My own list of improvements is currently: - Better side indicators: The red lights on the side indicate the position in the class when racing. There are three lights on the real cars, but they are significantly smaller than shown here. - I would like to bring the top air scoop back in some way. - Better interior - Stickers. At least for the numbers on the side, "Denso" and "HY"/"P1". What would you recommend? Update The updates I'm making now are relatively minor. So I have decided to start building a 919: Edit: Today's progress with the 919:

Yeah. I'm looking forward to see what is possible as well. I have found a totally awesome TS020 here: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/426878 Meanwhile. Here is my current progress. I'm building the complete model very quickly. Then I will spend the remaining of the days until Le Mans improving it, section by section.

Yes. That is exactly my plan. And I will try to fix the door issue and I agree with you. That 1x4 tile sticks out like a sore thumb. The first mod (adding a motor) is almost done. Now I just have to build new side covers and fuel tanks: Edit Progress: I have made the following improvements and changes: - The "DAF" bar ("DAF" logo not present...) in the front now curves, which gives a less flat front. - The doors are now (primarily) studs up, which allows the windows to be pushed back, and even more importantly, the part @lucio mentions has been improved. Now the side mirrors are also better attached. - The sides are now built in layers in order to allow for enough space for the dual L-motors. - The rear wheel wells are better attached and connected to a longer rear light bar which allows for LED lights. - As you might have spotted. The side indicators now have LED's. - I'm currently building the super space cab configuration top as can be seen next to the truck.

Yes it seems like ony some versions were without reverse in order to get grouped as three wheeled motorcycle legislations (and this would be some of the three wheeled versions - not the one being modelled here). I believe the original Italian version did have reverse gear.

Yeah. Brickshelf seems to be down. I have reuploaded it to imgur: And I agree with @Erik Leppen The wheels have now been changed to those from 42046, but with black rims and the same hub cabs as shown above. It turns out these wheels are exactly the size I need and it looks much better. I will post a pic once I have rebuilt it to the state it was. Edit: The updated model:

Now that's a great little challenge. Nice to see you picking it up. Also. Remember that the Isetta did not have reverse gear! This meant that you could get stuck if you could not open the front door. Times were different back then :)

I have updated it so that the speed is a bit faster. It now looks much better when running at speed 1:

I agree with you guys that I should probably focus on the Miniland scale model for now. It is also the only one I have a chance of finishing before Le Mans. A whole day of building only yielded this: There are a lot of small details and angled colorings which I would like to recreate, so progress is slow. I'm using bricks to speed up the process. Internal details can come once I have the shell finished. My plan is to quickly build the full car, then make incremental improvements on it. The pink stick is to help me visualize the final height. Unfortunately I can't find a good wheel size. 4.5 studs wide would be perfect, but the closest I can get are these 3.8 stud wide ones. I have tried to compensate for their size by lowering the wheel hubs. I hope this change will not be too noticeable. I will keep you updated.

Ah yes. I see now that this is the same design - just with a longer inbox.

Work has started on the second DAF XF. Changes to appear: - Double L-motor + tall gearing - SBrick - Indicator lights - Super Space Cab configuration - Updated front detailing - New livery (to be designed once the other updates are done) I will keep the thread updated with the changes. Feel free to chime in with suggestions.

The car is finally done with building instructions and all! The model can easily be modified to be the #7, #8 or #9 car - simply exchange the side mirrors and number plates (if you build it with stickers) The model is by far one of the most complex cars I have ever built. You can see all the details in the instructions: https://brickhub.org/i/428 The most challenging details are by far the triangular sections of the livery. While these are stickers on the real race car, I want to have as much being brick built as possible. This is also the reason why the model looks decent even without stickers. I hope you enjoy the model and instructions. This is probably the last model in a while for which I will make stickers in the instructions. I have completely underestimated the effort involved! BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL WIP POST: . I want to build a Toyota TS050 with the low downforce package to be used at Le Mans this year. We will see this package for the first time at the race at SPA this weekend. First I have to determine the size. I'm currently considering 2 scales, so please give me other suggestions if you have any. The first scale is 1:20 (LEGOLAND scale). It is proven and well known. I have experience building in this scale, but it might not be large enough to capture the details that I would want. The other scale would be where the Porsche GT3 wheels fir (roughly 1:10). This scale allows for all details at a high level, but sacrifices the windscreen and might take too long to build: I would like to have the model ready for Le Mans this year (hence the low downforce package) My goal is to have a non-functional model where emphasis is on adding visual details. Experienced builders and enthusiasts. Which scale do you recommend? I will use this thread to show the complete design and build process. Feedback (both positive, constructive and "Boo - Toyota will never win") is welcome. Update I have started designing it in scale 1:20 The base dimensions are: Length 4650mm => 29 studs Width 1900mm => 12 studs Height 1050mm => 16.4 plates ~ 5.5 bricks. I'm using this as my design sketch. It is made using Griddy and... mspaint :)

I saw that Holodoc took pictures of all the entries. WIll you post them here @Holodoc?

That sounds reasonable. We will bring some yellow notes and pens. Then we can draw and write - and share yellow notes to anyone who might have missed this part.

Our entries are finally finished! What would you like written on the info cards? Name, eventee, and zodiac?

Hep. Congratulations to the Iron Builder Cecilie :)

Did Vaionaut not post before the edit? Oh, well.

It has to be fully qualified name?! OK. Then it's LEGO, BrickHeadz, BrickHeadz Series 1, Disney, 41595, LEGO Belle, made out of LEGO elements. :P
