Victor Imaginator

Looks cool. I love engine details. Not a Porsche yet, but I will wait for final version, it should be nice MOC)

Wow, it's really innovative) Very cool entry, seriously.

Nice non-vehicle MOC. I just afraid about "Victor" brand)

Looks like extreme drag racing tuning. So, it fit model somehow)

Jonfensu, thanks) Yes, front looks a bit mess. But, as you said, it looks very technic. Leonardo da Bricki, thanks) I don't find better solution to hold white axles in that shape. Here's many compromises between looks, rigidity and cleaner building techniques. At least I learned a lot about scale models, while building)

Great car. Very close to original.

Didumos, thanks) I was thinked about your future reply this morning, while building)

Thanks for your comments) TheMindGarage, yes, I needed to fit gearbox into very thin 3 studs high frame. You may find details in WIP topic. Also I moved 24-8 gears pair to rear axle, because Z24 gear was too low. And yes, I mean that scale 7 times smaller than real car)

Great, looks very simple)

So, this is my entry. Porsche 550 Spyder. While 911 GT3 RS is latest racing car maked by Porsche, my dream Porsche - is first of racing Porsches. Features: - 7:1 scale; - front MacPherson suspension with all that kingpin inclination, Ackerman geometry and caster angle; - rear suspension is trailing arms, almost like original, but in my version here's no lateral torsion bar, just ordinary shock absorbers. At least it looks like original); - 4+N manual gearbox; - fake flat 4 engine with fan; - openable doors, hood and engine cover; - some interior details. Parts choice may look weird, it's all because i just don't have LBG panels. I have enough white panels, but not enough white beams for that scale. I messed up with proportions while building, but it's my first scale model... and it's hard to make car, that looks like real. Now i clearly understand it) Belly shot, if someone interested. All pictures are clickable for higher resolution. Link to WIP topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=137025 FLICKR album, there's a few more shots: https://flic.kr/s/aHskzstGF2 Thanks for reading, i hope you enjoy it somehow)

I'll finish my Porsche entry first and take some rest after) Sure, I plan to fit this idea somewhere.

I've done drum/piano gearbox some time ago, and it's capable of changing gears in ms. My version is too large, but simplier 2-4 speed based on same idea can work in motorised supercar. Here's the link: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=134615&hl=%2Bpiano+%2Bdrum

I like these rear wheel arches) Also nice color. Rare for MOCs.

Weirdest entry) I love the colors, i like how pneumatics works. And belly shot just awesome.

Exactly)

Almost done. I hope that i'm not ran out of LBG beams)

It's so awesome) I hope that instructions will be available somehow after all.

One of the best entry))) Didumos, you make my day)

Here's a WIP topic for my Spyder. 1:7.1 scale) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=137025#entry2614058

Shot over the planet is wonderful))) And i like these wheels, may i borrow this idea?

Sariel, thanks for making great review. I think i'll pass this set. I still don't have any pneumatics, but 42008 looks more appealing for me. The only thing that i really like about Volvo EW160 - yellow rims + tires, one of my favorites)

Efferman, this 1/4 of car looks already awesome. Waiting for updates)

Looks evil) Nice idea, great implementation. About a term "half-track"... i think this thing can be named "longtitudal articulated tracked vehicle".

Lacking of time and hot weather caused massive slowing of my building abilities. But, i finally finished chassies. 7:1 scale may look large enough to fit everything, but 550 Spyder is almost smallest Porsche, if not the smallest one. Was very hard to fit gearbox + chairs to very thin frame, while keeping frame robust enough. Gearbox is very simple 4+N, only difference from typical Lego gearboxes - i make it flat, not 2-layered. And put 24+8 pair near differential, because 24Z gear grinding my kitchen table when suspension is compressed) So, here's 2 drive shafts as it was before, in the beginning of building. And, part of the frame serves as part of chairs - even 1 stud higher makes chairs too massive for 500 Spyder. I think it's looking ok. And i managed to make front axle even studs wide, so it's almost perfectly sized now. Now only bodywork left, i don't sure that i will succeed, but i trying)

Hey, I'm not finished my Spyder yet)
