Buick GNX 1987
Michael217 replied to syzygy87's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes, I see that the bumper also has an angle. Try replacing the arches. I wanted to assemble this car 5 years ago with wheels with a diameter of 62 mm, but I haven't had time for that yet, I'm working on other models, someday I'll start assembling it) Good luck with your next projects! -

I used these bevels because they have a more correct slope, and as you can see, the original doesn't have the same pronounced step as your model. As for the grate angle, it can be easily done on my version) I think the wheel arches are more important, so I think this option is more appropriate. -

You could make arches out of rounded plates, like this. They don't stick out like that in a real car. I know that you can build models much better, but you need to work on the front. The back is good! ;) -
11381 Jaguar E-Type
Michael217 replied to R0Sch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I just shortened it by 2 studs and made the rear fenders a little lower, I think it can be easily modified. How do you create scale models?) In Lego, it's best to create a model based on the size of the wheel, as you won't be able to fit the correct wheels later if the body is larger, as we see in this Jaguar model. I will try to buy this set and show you that it can be modified;) I don't see a problem with reducing the body, as I did in Photoshop, and the steering will still work, but the body will have more realistic features. Look at the Cobra, it doesn't have that problem, and she even has wide tires) -

Michael217 replied to R0Sch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In Lego, we use the scale of the wheel because it's the easiest way to build a replica model. If we scale by wheelbase, the wheels will be very small and the roof will be very low. For example, I've overlayed the silhouette on the corrected version, and as you can see, it's much better than what TLG has assembled. -

I don't understand TLG builders, why don't they look at photos of real cars?! The proportions are wrong again) I corrected it easily, and it may be possible to change the structure without additional details. -
It probably sounded rude because of the automatic translation, as I don't speak that language. The Paave model really inspired me to create my own version. ) I'll add it to my project list once I've finished all the others. That's much better.

I think you can see these obvious things for yourself, and the photo angle doesn't matter. The hood doesn't have any curves on the sides, and the line along the body should extend to the front fenders. The front bumper should be pushed forward, otherwise, why do you need it in the first place? A little bit of System details never hurts a Technic model ;)
-
Need to work better on the proportions, the side transition line should be extended to the headlights, and the excessive slope of the hood and rounded panels are unnecessary. And add more System details to smooth out the transition and make the hood more recognizable.
