@Didumos69 i attached a pic of the original suspension, and i think i could copy it quite well. Everything is locked where the real parts should be. The springs are placed horizontally in a fixed position (the yellow part can be seen on top). I wish i could explain it better, but my english is not the best. I will take some more pictures soon. I considered to use a 5l liftarm, but the connectors and the 3l axle imitate the original pushrod better imo. Btw i have admired your work for months now. Same goes to @Attika , means a lot reading comments coming from you guys. Thanks man, awsome idea regarding the black parts. Browsing Bricklink has quickly become an addiction for me haha.

Hi guys! My name is Gabor, 27, i'm a medical doctor in Hungary. I am new to EB and a total beginner as a designer. Well, not quite, since i have been obsessed with LEGO during my childhood. I have returned a few months ago and I'm having a BLAST. Bought a few sets last month to refresh my invertory. I have decided to post about my first "offical" building project. I am planning to make regular updates here. It's the Aston Martin One-77 in black, planned to be built from about 3000-3500 parts. Cosmetics and the scale in general are very important for me. Some info about the real car: it's a front-engine 7.2 liter V12 with a 6-speed automatic gearbox in the rear. Only 77 models were built during the production years (2009-2012). In it's time, it was the fastest and most expensive street-legal supercar with a naturally aspirated front engine, producing 750 bhp. The design quickly became my favorite of all times. The main inspiration of this model was the magnificent Aston Martin DB11 by @Jeroen Ottens . I have used his instructions to build most of the chassis, as the two cars are very similar in dimensions and i have much to learn about that. There will some major modifications because of some differences between the two cars: -the One-77 has a 6 speed transmisson, so i am planning to get rid of 2 gears. -it has a cantilever suspension with pushrods, both in the front and rear. I have to come up with something for the front axle. -the DB11 has 4 seats, but the extra space in the rear will be necessary because of the battery box and all the motors. -this model will contain some modified or non-LEGO parts, as the black color not the best option to work with when you have the latest LEGO Technic supercars. Here is the progress i have made with the back so far (pics are not the best quality): Custom chromed GT3 wheels are on the way. I want to build the huge front grill from ~50 chrome silver 2412b tiles, still looking for them on Bricklink, since it's an expensive part and I need them in a good condition. I'm planning to use power functions lights, but the rear has a contiguous line of lights. To illuminate the whole thing i have come up with the idea of using LEGO's fiber optics cables (x400c12, x400c20) by mounting them behind the tiles. However there is already limited space there because of the spoiler's lifting mechanism. Video of the spoiler and suspension: I would really appreciate any input. Thanks for reading.
