    Thanks a lot! I am really glad that you like it even if you are not a Ferrari or Speed Champions fan :) Regarding the mudguards I agree with you, the SC ones look good, but they are a bit big. If they were used, then the car should be one plate higher, and there would be some problems at rear end too, the ratios of the real car couldn't be kept. So I preferred City ones, but I filled the gaps for a more smooth apparance.

    Thanks!

    Thanks a lot! The increasing sense of depth in the side air intakes are created by changing the color underneath the grill tiles from red to black. I am not sure which grill would like to change, the top rear one?

    Hello Ferrari and Speed Champions fans, Ferrari Testarossa is a legendary supercar of 1980s. It is a two-door coupé from 1986 and it is the red version of the car from the TV series Miami Vice as the used Lego windscreen is not available with white decoration. Almost 10,000 Testarossas, 512 TRs, and F512 Ms were produced, making it one of the most-produced Ferrari models, despite its high price and exotic design. Building instructions are available on the following links: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-57875/_TLG_/ferrari-testarossa/ https://www.mocsmarket.com/lego-mocs/lego-instructions-ferrari-testarossa/ UPDATE: Oct, 2021 - This MOC is available as kit too :) : https://mocsmaker.com/product/custom-building-kit-tr-84/ It is a studless build in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style. I wanted to create a sleek model which is as accurate as possible in this small scale. I minimized the use of stickers to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds. (Third picture shows the model without any stickers.) My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. The model contains lots of details: for example the emblematic side intakes with the bottom black stripe, the turn signal lights on the sides, the side-view mirrors, the front grill with the head lights, the iconic rear side with the vehicle registration plate. Maybe the most challenging one was the interior where the seat assemblies hold side panels too. I tried to fill every unecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used. The model has space for two minifigures. I suggest to use small hairs. Without the seats minifigures with bigger hairs can be used too if they are leaned back.

    KITT - Knight Rider

    Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks a lot! Thanks a lot! I still prefer the 6 studs wide cars because they are more proportional to minifigures.

    Hello Knight Rider and Speed Champions fans, KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) from the original TV series Knight Rider is one of the most famous fictional cars. It is a modified 1982 Pontiac Trans Am which is an artificially intelligent electronic computer module in the body of a highly advanced, very mobile, robotic automobile. It is a studless build in the original, 6 studs wide Speed Champions style and fits perfectly to the new City style cars too. Building instructions are available here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-52083/_TLG_/kitt-knight-rider/ More details: I wanted to create a sleek model which is as accurate as possible in this small scale. I minimized the use of stickers to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, and the last picture shows the car without any stickers. The model has space for one minifigure. The Michael Knight figure on the main picture is from the set 71286. One of the most challenging details was the front with the iconic red scanner bar and the rectangular white headlights. I made lots of versions and I think the actual one with some tricky build techniques is the best one. Simple black stickers were added to the side of the clear transparent elements on the sides to make visible the headlights only on the front side. The model contains lots of details: the circular fuel cap on the left side, the orange one and the red one turn signal lights on the sides, the side-view mirrors, the convertible roof, the small rear wing and the blue vehicle registration plate on the rear to which a custom sticker had been added. The steering wheel is modeled too, and three stickers are added to the dashboard to recreate some of its iconic elements. The wheels are built too and on my physical model the white circles between the wheel covers and the tires are made of a Lego rubber belt.

    Thanks a lot! There are three versions of this car, and there are only little differencies, and therefore they are in the same topic. I like the original, whole black version too, because it is a bit "mysterious" and post apocalyptic :). I will think about your advices. Yes, it is a Trabant 601. It has an own topic, but maybe not in the right forum (LEGO Scale Modeling) : The other picture in the signature is this one:

    Cool! Seems to be accurate.
  9. _TLG_
    Cool, I like the rear view especially!
  10. _TLG_
    Thanks! :)
  11. _TLG_
    Nice, I like the doors!
  12. _TLG_
    Nice, I like the openable details.
  13. _TLG_
    Nice, I like the floor!
  14. _TLG_
    Nice trucks! I like the color scheme especially.
  15. _TLG_
    I think that the rear end of this Nissan is very nice, but the front is not enough detailed only the stickers help a bit.
  16. _TLG_
    Very nice details, I like the fence especially!

    Thanks :)

    My entry was selected to the Fan Vote phase of "Build a Vintage car to cruise the streets of LEGO® Modular Buildings!". If you like it, please vote it before Dec-4th, to be an official "LEGO Gift with Purchase" set: https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/bafd4186-bb49-4eb0-903f-910415f04391/application/080bc359-fa49-4bd9-894c-2b627ba2abc7 More details: The title came from the movie "Jailhouse Rock" because of the striped T-shirt of the "bad boy". It is a late 50's muscle car tuning. On the main picture the couple is watching the freshly installed supercharger and on the last one the first try is visible :) One of the most interesting thing about this car is the brickbuilt flame decoration which was inspired by one of my Matchboxes from my childhood. Some tricky solutions were used to build the flame decoration on the hood especially without the supercharger which is visible on one of the pictures. I prefer this solution instead of stickers to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds. It is (mostly) a studless build in Speed Champions style which means a 6 studs wide car with a 4 studs wide windscreen. However the front wheels came from a City set to make them similar to the rear ones which are a bit bigger Creator wheels to make the car more dynamic. I hope you enjoy this car. Many thanks for your votes and comments!

    Hi Allan and all, I like the 6 studs wide Speed Champions series (the new ones will be 8 studs wide) and I designed more cars in this size. One of them is this Trabant 601 which is a legendary car of Eastern and Central Europe and which already has an own topic, but maybe not in the most related forum (LEGO Scale Modeling). I hope you enjoy this car. Since it is an Lego Ideas project you can support it on the below link to reach the first milestone, if you like it. There are more pictures and more info on that site too. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/77b0428c-c46c-47b0-984c-1fd7c97a2948 Trabant 601 by László Torma, on Flickr

    I have made a new update for this car: Street racer - red stripe v02 - 01 by László Torma, on Flickr Street racer - red stripe v02 - 02 by László Torma, on Flickr Street racer - red stripe v02 - 03 by László Torma, on Flickr Street racer - red stripe v02 - 04 by László Torma, on Flickr Street racer - red stripe v02 - 05 by László Torma, on Flickr Street racer - red stripe v02 - 06 by László Torma, on Flickr

    OK, the scale of my model is only 1:32 instead of the 1:20 mentioned in the rules. However, I tried to be accurate even in this small size which is not so easy. (I think it is sometimes much harder than to be accurate in a big model.) Do you think that the other topic called "minifig scale reworking of TLG classics [MOC]" to which I refer shouldn't be in this forum too? Do you think should I delete this topic and start it in an other forum for eaxample in "town"? (I am not sure if it is possible.)
  23. _TLG_
    Please note it is a minifig scale model of an existing car, so I am not sure that you are right. Maybe. There is an other post by an other user in similar scale:
  24. _TLG_
    Nice build.
  25. _TLG_
    Very nice model!
