Thank you very much! :) -
Return to more angular shapes, however, the rear of the car is more fancy.... At least in the original - evaluate how it came out in my model :) I've been thinking about building this car for a couple of years. Even though the rear end is more important in this car, I traditionally started building it from the front - I guess to get a sense that at least the front is good... I postrationalize, it was not fully realized ;) However, I put quite a lot of energy into the headlights and I'm satisfied. The rear.... I think, the spike is cool, but the triangle on the tailgate could be better.... The construction of cut hose and sausages helps to imagine that there is glass. Without it, it would be a total failure. I wanted to use the fenders from the Camaro, and they only come in black and lime green.... As a result, it has more than 500 parts in common with the Chevrolet Camaro. It's far from an alternative model, but the Camaro is a good base.I could have still packed the plats, etc. in mottled colors from the Camaro, but I decided not to do that - on the other hand it would be a cost increase for people who will be buying all the parts from scratch. If they will, because sales of my instructions have never been staggering, and I have a feeling it's getting worse lately :) Well, but that's not why I build - it's kind of a habit with me already. I feel bad about not being in the process of building a new car. But building I no longer feel as good as I used to in the beginning :D Addiction? I would appreciate feedback - including negative opinions :) REBRICKABLE FLICKR INSTAGRAM

Ford F1 1948
syzygy87 replied to syzygy87's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes, I added description of the features :) Thank you! Thanks a lot! :) thanks.. but what version? Mod version? :) -
It started (of course) with the lights and radiator - I discovered bricks that almost perfectly reflect the frames around the lights, I combined and something came out of it. Then, for the third time in a row, I almost used a 10x2x2 wedge as the sides of the mask..but I held back. I knitted a mask of more similar proportions on my own. This solution has its drawbacks (holes) but I am a bit proud of this mask :P .. of course, I scrambled so much that only red and black colors were available without concessions in shape. Features: -working steering wheel; -openable doors, hood (double-hinge) and tailgate; -detailed engine, interior and body shape. REBRICKABLE FLICKR INSTAGRAM

The previous MOC (Chevy Apache) encouraged me to try with another curvy car ;) Yes, the hood is very similar to the Apache, but nothing but a slope curved 10x2 suited me. Quite a significant technical change - everything that opens (hood, trunk and doors) is mounted on a double hinge. This makes it open elegantly and leaves no major gaps, etc. And there is no problem opening the doors, which are two studs thick. This is not some super revealing, I should have started using this solution earlier. I need to redo at least the Apache door. Well, and besides that, such a standard - torsion wheels, some dummy engine, etc. I would appreciate feedback - as always! :) REBRICKABLE INSTAGRAM flickr

Thank you, it's always nice to hear such praise from someone who builds at your level :) Choice of models a bit repetitive, somehow lately I build trucks over and over again ;) -

This time something rounder - finally :) It started with the lights, which are taken from my Impala. However, the whole trick is to extend their shape, which is possible thanks to the available bricks (37352+1750). To my delight, it also turned out that it's possible to split the headlight housings in half - exactly as I wanted, because that's how two-color Apaches are painted. Two-color is an interesting thing - on the one hand it makes the appearance more attractive, on the other it simplifies the construction, because in fact half (or maybe most) of the car is white ;) Thanks to this, I finally managed to build the car in orange. Disadvantage - the bonnet flap is very much inspired by a leg pickup. Somehow it came out that way... :) I focused on the headlights, grill, then started gluing the top.... and nothing else fit me there. Unfortunately it is very similar to what Lego built. Building this model I finally didn't feel like some kind of craftsman, like with the previous model (Monte Carlo), which I finished out of some strange sense of obligation.... Here I started with a cool use of parts and had the feeling that it would be something new, not another square car with a slightly different grill ;) These curves also worked well for me, of course there were a few moments where the hobby tired me more than the work, but overall I had fun. And I felt it would be a good model, which helps a lot and motivates me to keep working. ...but is it good in your opinion? :) REBRICKABLE FLICKR INSTAGRAM Features (as always): -working steering wheel; -openable 2 doors, hood and tailgate; -detailed engine, interior and body shape.

Yo, you have no choice - jump in. Tuco in the back seat insists. Hello after the break! I'm back with another model - this time I'm returning to (my) Breaking Bad “theme” :) The model was born in slight pains, somehow I lost momentum and enthusiasm, but managed to finish. It's not my best model, but I'm satisfied with the rear - the trunk has a characteristic fold. Unfortunately the lights don't have a silver frame - it didn't work :( I'm curious to hear your opinions! :) Creator expert scale. Features:-working steering wheel;-openable 2 doors, hood and trunk;-detailed engine, interior and body shape.-details from Jessie's original car: fist behind the rear window, dice under the mirror, Mary's figurine, low-rider control panel.

Thanks a lot! The gap is half-stud long, but it is necessary... In my F100 someone reminded me of its absence, now I remember it :) Although it requires a bit of work (e.g. moving the rear axle by half stud). Thank you so much! :) -

Thanks! All in all, you may be right... I wanted to make it a bit off-road, maybe unnecessarily :)
