    This is incredible!! +1 for the turn table. Great colour choice too. Well done!

    Thanks @Didumos69, I appreciate that. I will switch it up from time to time, I just have certain design ideas that incorporate the beam /flex style. I'll certainly try and bring something different to the plate in the near future...

    I on the other hand am not looking forward to creating the photo sequence. That frame is so loaded with cables and pneumatic hoses... I have night mares thinking about it!

    These are all very valid points you have brought up. I am very picky about color, and feel if I were to create a silver outline, the color of the silver flex axles would have connectors that are black and break the single color flow of the curve. The paneling on the underside is just to cover the framework above it. When you see the photo sequence of the build, you will see it is very well supported. I did show in the video you can press on the top of the car and the whole body lowers without flexing, proving to be rigid. The gap between the side curve and bodywork was purposely left out. After many failed attempts to place a panel in the area and have it look OK was impossible. With all of this said, everyone has their own preference with builds. I hear you keep suggesting not to use beams over flex axles, have more minimalist designs, change this change that. You have a preference, and so do I. I totally love this style of building, and am not one to conform to a set style or follow rules. Rules are made to be broken, and I am here to do my own thing, build what I like when I like, and enjoy the ride. Cosmetics and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some like it & some dislike it. I choose to like, regardless of what is "right" or "technically correct". So thanks for the comments, but a few less comments in regards to how I should build would be appreciated.

    Well he is a very busy guy! I'll be doing photo instructions so no need to bother him I totally agree with you in the similarities between the tt and this build. (On the back end of the car) But one can't win them all, so this was a compromise. Thank you! Thanks @Leonardo da Bricki! I tried my hardest to excentuate those key features in the Chiron. Thanks @technic_addict!! The rear wheel well goes higher than the front wheel wells, hence the double and triple beams. It also gives slight curves around the rear wheels. I couldn't do the same for the fronts as the wheels have barely any room when turning. Thanks @Jurss! I had hoped it would be semi recognizable at first sight. I've always tried to create a rounded build, with tons of features and hidden motors to show off what Lego is capable of! Cheers @Aleh! Thanks @I_Igor!! The real Lego engine wouldn't come close to fitting a W16 above the motors, so a custom engine had to be built. Cheers @suhail bhatti! Glad you liked it @KamalMYafi! Im am motivated from all to keep building cars in my own way and having fun with this new hobby of mine. The goal for me is to have fun and try new things and to keep pushing forwards.

    Thanks @Offroadcreat1ons, The front was the most difficult for sure. Dugald built that engine in a matter of hours, I was impressed. Thanks Attika! In Technic modeling, you always have to choose which subtle lines you follow for the build. I had to make some small sacrifices to get this end result. I'm honored to hear you're building the Lykan! One good thing about my builds in I use most of the same pieces for each build so you might already be halfway there! Cheers Dug! Was great you could help out again. That was my complaint too. I had great difficulty trying to mimic the shape at the front. I had created 7 or 8 different hoods to try and create similar angles of the original car. It's nearly impossible with Lego!

    I felt like it was time to step up my game and start modeling more popular, more difficult Hypercars. I was able to create a suspension strong enough not to need torsion bar, for all you purists out there Flickr Album: https://flic.kr/s/aHskZHoj1H The Lego car blog: https://thelegocarblog.com/2017/05/15/money-monday/ Photo Instructions: https://goo.gl/photos/TYFAPW11jpkdA2dTA The Chiron has curves & shapes difficult to replicate. This build began with the simplistic, strong and extremely reliable Framework. Features: custom W16 motor (designed by @DugaldIC), front and rear lights, 2wd - 4wd shifter, Steering with the Servo, 2 XL Motors for drive, 1 M motor for rear wing, Sbrick, LIPO battery, button to turn on the battery & independent suspension. The idea was to create a purely cosmetic build, and create the whole car as close to scale as possible. As this car has a fairly short front and rear end, the batteries and motors had to be between the wheels. The Servo for steering was tucked as low as possible in front of the of the wheels not to interfere with the hood / wheel wells. Bugatti Chiron - Rear end by lachlan cameron, on Flickr The framework is low as possible, 1 stud off the ground, 2 studs above the front wheels. This was a nightmare to allow the wheels to turn without rubbing on the inside. There are 10 lights on this car, the most I have ever added to my builds! I've got to give huge props to Dugald for the engine, and Sheepo for the car jack in the video Two builds, two bros - Bugatti Chiron & Aston Martin Vantage GT3 by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Two Bro's, two supercars
  8. Lox Lego
    Yes, I figured once I posted the engine it'd be found out ?
  9. Lox Lego
    Yes, just waiting on a few extra parts and I'll be ready to film an edit. Should be done in a week or two. Stay tuned! Below is the framework for the new car. This photo was shared on Flickr's front page "explore" and recieved 6.3 thousand views and 73 faves!! Top secret new build... by lachlan cameron, on Flickr
  10. Lox Lego
    Would be cool to see a few new people at the meet. I will definitely bring my new to secret build
  11. Lox Lego
    The shaping of the hood is so original. It really adds flare To this sleek design. Very excited to film a video edit in the coming weeks...
  12. Lox Lego
    I couldn't have said it better myself. Well done!
  13. Lox Lego
    I love it! I have no clue how you captured all those lines on such a small scale. Well done!
  14. Lox Lego
    Next level $*#t right there!!! Give this man a pro badge
  15. Lox Lego
    Great work Thorsten! I have gone thru the instructions and they are incredibly detailed. You are a machine, thank you!!! Yes, there are things he does with the software I could never imagine!
  16. Lox Lego
    Amazing!! It looks great in digital form. Can't thank you enough. How many parts were in this build?
  17. Lox Lego
    Hi Lego Technic, all of the videos on Dugald's YouTube were either joint builds or complete. The Ferrari FXX, dugald built the complete framework. The Iron knight Dugald has built 100% by himself. The Porsche 1973 wide body was mostly built by Dugald complete. I had posted the videos on my site because I was the one editing. I've just recently helped setup Dug with his own YouTube channel, and uploaded all of the past builds. He isn't stealing at all, he's just posting HIS builds on his own site.
  18. Lox Lego
    Ditto! Excellent photos as well. Looking forward to your next build
  19. Lox Lego
    The reason Dugald is at this level is because he has been helping me one up my builds from the very beginning!! All of my cars and future car would not look half as goood as they do without Dugald's mad understanding of shaping, space and design!
  20. Lox Lego
    Cool man thanks, and welcome to Eurobricks! Regarding the instructions, I did a really quick photo tear down so it doesn't surprise me I missed a few things here or there. The whole process of tearing down and doing parts list is over 24 hours so it's a LOT of work trust me!
  21. Lox Lego
    +1! It keeps getting better and better.
  22. Lox Lego
    Perfect. You've done an excellent job on this scale. I want one
  23. Lox Lego
    Awesome shape! I love how the front fender slits look like head lights. Looks fun!
  24. Lox Lego
    Great progress once again Thorsten. I'm am surprised to see you are building instructions, this is again a difficult and large build. You are probably the first person to finish this model!! I'm more impressed that you collected all the parts for this build so fast. Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did!
  25. Lox Lego
    +1. This is the part of the build that Dug knows better than most. I'm still in awe of how rigid and sturdy the frame is.
