Thank you. I did have a go at improving that but I couldn't really find an easy solution with the available parts. I'd be happy for others to come up with a solution though!

Thank you and no worries!

Update: Thank you for all your input, I tried changing some areas such as the rear but sadly I couldn't find an easy replacement. However I have finished free photo instructions for this model which you can find here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-69715/PangolinBricks/mercedes-amg-gt-black-series/#details

I present to you a hummingbird made with parts from the 42117 race plane. Functions include: Flapping wings with removable HOG Removable stand Adjustable head Video with free instructions and functions: Photos can be found on my Flickr : https://www.flickr.com/photos/192171585@N02/albums/72157718471809278/with/50989489493/

Wow! You definitely captured the spirit of the car.

I find this a lot when I'm building! Although seemingly simple I think just doing something else then coming back is the best policy for me if have no ideas. However I think that the process of continually rebuilding is part of building!

Nice model and presentation with lots of creative functions! I especially like the opening canopy with the minifigs.

Like above comments I would also lengthen the wheelbase. Also you could use harder shocks as I worry soft shocks might not be able to hold a heavy model.

Nice work! I think black looks best

Thanks. Ah yes, a revolutionary car for it's time! I nearly chose red but ended up with the lime after I created the car as an alternate of 42115 - I think it adds to the aggressive look.

Thanks! Thank you, yep I think I maybe did use too many flex axles! However I think they enabled me to keep the shape of the car.

Thanks! I think I will change the arch as I agree - I'm not sure it really works. As I said before being an alternate I was limited but I'll do my best to change it! The small panels were there to fill some gaps and compelete the lines of the car although some may be a little off I was trying to imitate the real car and one of the main features is the black on the hood.

Thank you!

Thank you! I was trying to fill space with the parts I had and the wheel arch did not fit flat. HoweverI agree that it doesn't look great and I may look at improving it. Thanks! I thought about it but I sadly don't have the piece - sadly don't have the Arocs and it's expensive to buy separately- and I think it may be a little small. If I can get hold of the piece I could try it though!

Ever since the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series broke the Nürburg track record I have always wanted to build the car in Lego Technic. After a year of returning to Lego and recently picking up the Lego Sian I decided to start building my first MOC: http://DSCN1401 by Pangolin Bricks, on Flickr http://DSCN1412 by Pangolin Bricks, on Flickr http://DSCN1403 by Pangolin Bricks, on Flickr http://DSCN1404 by Pangolin Bricks, on Flickr More photos can be found on my Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmUkxDc9 Functions include: Functional steering wheel (right hand drive) Independent suspension on all wheels Opening bonnet, doors and boot Adjustable rear spoiler V8 engine 42115 8 speed sequential gearbox with DNR selector controlled by a gear and a knob next to the steering wheel Video showcasing functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phj_CAYwh10&t=27s The model uses parts only from 42115, 42099 steering wheel, 42110 wheels and 6 transparent slopes from my own collection. Free instructions can be found here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-69715/PangolinBricks/mercedes-amg-gt-black-series/#details I am not entirely sure what the scale is, but I built it to scale from the wheels Criticism welcome but please bear in mind this is my first MOC and I was limited to (mostly) parts from the set. Sorry about the part stacking in some cases! I only used the gearbox from 42115 as I do not fully understand how to build my own. PS: I am sorry if the images aren't attached properly - I'm still learning!
