Congrats! Exciting to see what you’ll be able to create in an official capacity. The MOCs you post are great. I hope the move goes well for you.

I don’t think everything has to accommodate for everything. At the end of the day this is a LEGO forum and it is a space for that. I am not going to be talking about paper mache on an origami forum for example, even though they both are made of paper. I get you are passionate about other brands but it is tiring seeing them brought up at every unrelated topic. There are already other Facebook groups and Reddit pages where you can talk about these alternate brands, or even start your own blog/youtube channel where you can talk about whatever you want.

But they didn’t match the soft axle colour to the metallic colour of the car… and it still looks like a turd when you compare it to the nicer blue version they made of the same model. Maybe Lego could pull off a reddish brown colour and make it look good, but I still don’t think it would be the best or most popular looking colour.

Lots of potential for this model. Pretty exciting. And doing some quick research on the tyres used irl, it’s probably the first car that actually justifies using the larger 87.9mm tyres without ruining the scaling.

I honestly think some of the best B-models are the ones that don’t share the same topic as the original model…. This is such a better idea than making another car out of the same set. Really well executed and love the creativity!

I know right? Maybe somewhat makes sense if all we had was the Porsche. But after the other ones we’ve had… How’d we go from talking about a Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear to a Lotus Emira haha That said, as an Australian, if it was the new limited Bathurst addition I would be interested.

Yellow is my favourite colour so far, nice job 👍🏼

Really? We complain about the supercars being too similar and uninteresting every time they get released, but as soon as they might release something completely different we complain about that as well? The P1 had a v8 engine, why is it a negative this time? A mustang could have a few mechanical features not yet seen in the 1:8 lineup… - front mounted engine. - McPherson suspension at the front. - live multilink axle/suspension at the rear. - could have manual gearbox dependent on model it’s based on. - completely different style bodywork to everything previously. Sounds pretty good and interesting to me... + I think one would look good with the current line-up... Although I agree with what @chili just wrote, I think it would be unlikely to be the 1:8 car

This would easily be my favourite looking 1:8 CaDA set so far. The details are amazing, parts like being able to see the exhausts through the side skirts are so well done. I dare say I would almost even buy it if I didn’t have the normal version of this car in my Lego collection already. It’s a bit of a shame to have such good photos with the real car, and have parts of the model not put together properly (around the front fender) Does nobody check these things?

Another great 1:12 model from you, been loving these size models you have been putting out. They all look awesome and mix the system/technic pieces really well. I think in this case I actually like the black model better than the red one, makes the taillights pop more. Door hinge mechanism is genius! Here's my understanding of it.... Open vs closed. Its very clever because it also limits how far the door can open.

I’m a bit late to the party, but so happy to see that you finally got to finish this model! It looks great, for me the nicest looking 1:8 Ford GT MOC so far. The colour is really cool and well executed. Did you ever think of using regular blue instead of dark azure?

Agreed! I love the dark blue colour. The set is definitely legit. I saw the completed renders almost 2 years ago when I was talking to the designer about CaDA related stuff. It’s great to see it finally get close to being on sale. That’s all I’ll say for now, I’ll wait for more official info to come out. But it’s definitely a great looking model!

I could be wrong but 10197 in red finally as well? Behind the rear wheel arch panel

Well I picked up this set for a decent discount around the Christmas period and I can't say I'm very impressed with it in person... A lot of talk about the front but there's a lot elsewhere that looks half done as well. The interior is shocking with half the bottom sides of the seats missing and gears chomping through the passenger seat as well. The rear spoiler looks terrible with the mix of LBO/LBG/BLACK and the surrounding parts of the clamshell look unfinished too. Some really interesting and random colours used as well... like the and in the rear clamshell. Why?? Especially when the blue one exists in LBO as well... Anyways... Can't do much about the interior without a lot of internal re-design, and I frankly can't be bothered playing around with the front. But here's my quick ideas at improving the rear... The wing and all pieces under it have been converted to black. Then the paneling around the large frame has been changed to fill it in more. On the plus side the spoiler mechanism works quite nicely and I love the doors. The gearbox was quite refreshing and interesting as well. But overall this will most likely go in the parts bin for MOC's.

This looks amazing! IMO you make some of the best alternate models in the game. Your write ups are always a pleasure to read as well, and I appreciate the effort put into them. By chance I happened to see the 110 version of this car (dual cab version) whilst on the road yesterday. Same exact colour spec as well! I was looking at it whilst stuck at a red light and I’m blown away by how well you’ve managed to capture all the details and look of it. That curved slope section that runs through the side is spot on. Chassis and functions looks super interesting and well done as well 👍🏻

Isn’t that just a normal RC toy? As far as I can see that’s not ‘Lego’ (bricks/whatever you want to call it) at all. https://www.doubleeagle-group.com/double-e-toys/juventus-fc-radio-control-bus-e638

Never seen that piece before, great to know! I’m sure it’ll come in handy

Hmm I think I’ll have to wait till I see it out of real bricks to make a final judgement. But so far I would say that some is looking better and some is looking worse. Model really suffers from not having all those LBO panels available in red. Commendable effort to find work arounds but I’m not sure that red was the right choice here. Some of those missing pieces will come in the Ducati, but still won’t help with the rear mudguard panel areas.

I think this looks pretty shocking, headlights especially. Although I’m glad (surprised) they at least chose the black axles to join those trans clear panels together instead of the red ones.

Although I think this set and the Ferrari look a whole lot better than the previous Mercedes and especially the McLaren, I don’t think I’ll be getting this or the Ferrari as I don’t support either team… But super happy to see all the new recolored parts in dark blue. I’ve especially been wanting #71708 for a current MOC in dark blue, so that’s cool to see. The #17 & #18 panels in yellow is well overdue and a nice surprise as well!

No they will be connected by 2 x 18651 pin with 2l axles. Which would replace the current 2 x 43093 axle pins. Making it 3 pieces instead of 1, not 5.

Looks like I lot of similarities in building techniques to the Jesko I’m currently building. I think it looks nice though, all these new panels/pieces since the old orange one came out definitely makes a huge difference. I like the yellow a lot, hopefully get to see a larger yellow 1:10 or 1:8 scale car in the future.

If we wanted it to be free, couldn’t I have just submitted it for free on my own account? Don’t see how rebrickable is against free MOCs in this scenario. I just see it as rebrickable being against giving out work/designs that are not originally your own (Whether free or paid).

Maybe it’s partly because they struggle to match the colour of those parts? It’s safer to use black ones than repeat what happened with the Sian. The lime ones are still not the same shade and it’s been how many years? I know the problem isn’t limited to lime either, I have red ones that don’t match. Still doesn’t explain why they’ll randomally do it for a botanical set though, but just thought I’d throw that out there.
