    Amazing Paul! Very creative and solid looking chassis. Love the random use of the shifter piece! Clever!

    Hi Bruno, thanks and yes, it's the same part as the Hennessey and it turns out I bought the only chrome version on bricklink!! Thanks, Regarding the driving capability, it was the Lego IR receivers that were out of range when I was trying to film and drive for the edit. You will see in my next functions video how well it drives

    Thanks! I do believe I will be doing full photo instructions for this vehicle. I will also be making another small video showcasing the functions.

    Thanks Kris. I posted my final build but I feel like I left the last progress information out of this topic so let me go thru what it took to get to the final product. I took 3 key point to this topic: 1. SUV too black 2. SUV too low 3. SUV had too flat of a roof. From there I tried to figure out how I could incorporate white into the build without changing the whole body. I wish the white went 1 or 2 studs lower on the car to replicate the real vehicle but had to make due with that I had. I did some photo overlays of the top for reference. Everything looks ok: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr From the side I wish I could have put the door handles 2 studs higher to replicate the real SUV...

    For my final post of this year, I am proud to introduce the Range Rover Evoque with air ride. Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions in my WIP thread to create a better SUV. The car was too black so I added white, it was too low so I raised it a stud and the hood wasn't slanted enough so I re-created the front of the vehicle. I reduced the weight to 6.3 pounds (2850g) This car has 4wd, air ride, torsion bar suspension, 2 XL motors for drive, 2 m motors for lift, V8, servo for steering, gear shifter turns on the lights. The car is finally to a perfect scale. The hard parts of this build was the air ride, torsion bar and having the doors start low at the front and higher at the back. I bought a pair of custom chrome exhaust pipes for this built. flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/139930963@N04/sets/72157676733470861 MOC-Pages: http://moc-pages.com/moc.php/435565 Instructions: https://goo.gl/photos/KLwkEfTt2LzsRMkG8 Inspiration: Inspiration by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Below is the car in comparison to the 42052 helicopter set Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Back end was super difficult: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Everything opens: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Front View: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr I'm ready to take my helicopter to work...

    That was a fast build! Thank you for taking the time to bring up some of the issues. Did the correction for the steering wheel direction work from above? In regards to the lights, here is a photo to reference: https://goo.gl/photos/Z3Gmh1EMY2ocHwYDA & https://goo.gl/photos/vjwENWC42xJLf6wH7 & https://goo.gl/photos/EZeKVYvhQfnGXmtJ8 The whole build is shared in google photos here for your reference: https://goo.gl/photos/dy2DnhMWxqHDehmh9 For the front windshield, I did use 2x 11L axles and 2x 12L axles in my build. It seemed to work better because they were on an angle, and the longer 12L connected better. See here: https://goo.gl/photos/3mHodgxfLM7m5JpQ9 & https://goo.gl/photos/wJDwjGmMLcGu7w3Z7 I'm very happy to hear the car drives well. I had a ton of fun driving this car around too.

    Huge scale and nicely done! Video pls?
  8. Lox Lego
    Love it! Very creative and well thought out. As mentioned before, the steering sets this build apart from the norm. Thanks for sharing!

    This is the fix for the steering in the Hennessey Venom GT. My only concern is if the large gear is too high and interferes with the hood. Remove the 8L axles, 2 gears and chain and replace it with this setup with 10L axles below: This is the fix for the steering in the Hennessey Venom GT.

    Amazing work once again Blackbird!! These renders really well represent the curves and shaping so much more than Ldraw. Cheers! ?

    Thank you two for testing out these instructions. Tonight I will think of a solution for the steering wheel and upload correction photos. I had to film the car on one of the last beautiful days of the fall and rushed outside to film the car. I'm super happy with the video and photos but didn't fully review the whole build. Thanks for being patient and letting me know of the issues so I could correct them. You two are the first to actually build this car from scratch with these instructions. I presume other builders re-build their model to find any of these things. I may have to do that in the future. Blackbird, regarding the weight, I believe you will be very happy to see how well the suspension and drivability of this car is completely built up!
  12. Lox Lego
    Yeah, I used a chain to connect the gears. I guess you could place a gear in-between the two gears for the wheel to turn correct to the wheels. I guess I should have figured that stuff out before I completed it

    Hi Blackbird, because that panel is connected to a half bushing it is half in the way of the engine. I suggest changing the half bushing to a single bushing so the panel is in line with the side of the engine. I just placed those panels there to cover all the wires and it worked for me on a bit of an angle so I left it. I hope I was clear enough with this explanation... Below is the photo of what it looks like. The panel is on a bit of an angle, but it covers the wires nicely. https://goo.gl/photos/UqfDf5yUSnyEU8os5 In the photo here below, the pin is half in line with the engine. That could be fixed by using a single black eyelet in the floor. https://goo.gl/photos/b7kWae3WAtLXEZ7W9
  14. Lox Lego
    Yeah, Its a lot tougher making an edit happen in the winter. D#%*it snow!
  15. Lox Lego
    +1. It's cool you're modelling a fictional car!
  16. Lox Lego
    Yes, I guess it wouldn't be too bad at all if I tore it right down and rebuilt it. I prob. Should have listened to the comments at the frame stage. Back to the drawing board
  17. Lox Lego
    I am very much looking forward to the body work of this car! Do you have a vehicle in mind? Have you scaled this frame?
  18. Lox Lego
    I agree on all of your points. The feature I was excited to build (low profile) is proving to be a pain due to the weight and the looks. The front suspension height is too tall, making for a flat hood with doesn't look true to the real car. And the color combination it too black. I definitely did not know what I was getting into with a car of this scale. It's also very difficult to create the shape of this SUV. I probably just need to slow down a bit and think of a few clever solutions to fix this car...
  19. Lox Lego
    I don't think I've seen a crane like this at this scale! Nicely done nerdsforprez ?
  20. Lox Lego
    I do agree I'd be great with more color, but the amount of variety black allows any combination of pieces for your creation. (the black curved 7x3 are amazing, but only in 2 colors) SO I thought I'd share the progress from last night. I was working to try and have the doors slope from low to high at the rear and fix the back end. Still there is work to do but I am getting closer...

    Crazy car for your first MOC! Keep it up, nice work ?
  22. Lox Lego
    This creation is posted to Rebrickable for whoever has 1000$ to spare for 95% of this build! I can't believe the price of those rare red parts. The # 3 angle connector is 3.50$ For a used one on bricklink! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/Thorsten50/hennessey-venom-gt-spyder?utm_source=newmoc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=followdesigner
  23. Lox Lego
    This is turning out really incredible. Absolutely love the rear end! The curves down the side and the black and orange combo is stunning. Great work!
  24. Lox Lego
    A merry Christmas to you Thorsten! Thank you for your hard work +1

    I did a tire swap. I like the look but prefer the Porsche rims. Tire swap by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Tire swap by lachlan cameron, on Flickr
