Thank you! :) As usual, my models always have working steering and doors, a trunk, and a hood that open.

It’s not just about the grill—I have a hinge that holds the entire bumper in place. That solution kind of dictated other things :) Yes, the angle is definitely better than my 45°, but this solution also has its drawbacks because it extends too far down :). But I admire that you took the time to do this in the studio. Thank you for your interest and for this project! I can easily replace the wheel arches with macaroni tiles—and I think I actually made a mistake here, because a lot of people are saying they’re overdrawn :)

Those bevels shouldn't extend below the headlights, like they do on yours. My radiator grille is “broken,” with subtle bevels, just like on the bumper. (The whole thing is mounted on a hinge.) That was an important detail for me. But your version is interesting, too.

Yeah, I can see that the wheel arches are the most controversial part of my little car :) And yes! That exact part you posted—I’d already installed it on the prototype... But I decided against it. They looked ridiculously small. And these ones are too big :) Out of those two options, these seemed more accurate to me. Please take a look at the original—it has fairly distinct wheel arches; of course, not quite as pronounced as mine, but making them too small would also be a mistake :) Either way, something must be off. These opinions are popping up everywhere, so I can’t ignore them—there’s some truth to them. There’s one more aspect visible from my perspective. I’ve built over a dozen models in this scale, and I finally wanted to use some crazy fenders to spice things up a bit ;) If you’re up for it, take a look—I’ve used the exact same fenders on sooo many models—I’m already bored with them :) https://rebrickable.com/users/syzygy87/mocs/ Yeah! :) The Sisters of Mercy released their album "Floodland" in 1987—the year that Buick was made. I just had to :)

I got a few requests for this car, so I gave in, even though I don't see anything special about it :) The only versions available on Rebrickable were ones I didn't like, so I took on the challenge. Did I surpass the existing models? That's not for me to judge :) Features: working steering openable doors, hood and trunk detailed engine, interior and body shape display model with playable functions REBRICKABLE INSTAGRAM FLICKR

I would be honored! Thanks! Thank you :) That looks pretty good, but... I've already done those headlights twice—on a Chevy Impala and a Chevy Apache... :) So it's just experience in this field... although I've never used 3x3 mudguards before :P

Yes, those are exactly the rims and tires from the Mustang set. I know the tire is too wide, but the rim matches the look of the original car. Thanks! The Technic panel fit perfectly here (I hope). Thanks! Me too—that’s why it stayed that way.

Inspired by the iconic 1972 Ford Gran Torino and its unmistakable 1970s American muscle car styling. Creator Expert scale. Features: working steering wheel openable doors (double hinge), hood and trunk detailed engine, interior and body shape authentic long-hood coupe proportions display model with playable functions A bold classic with aggressive front styling, wide stance and period-correct character — perfect for fans of vintage American cars.

Thanks!

Wow, thanks! :) Thank you :)

Thanks a lot! :)

Refreshed version of my 2021 model in 1:11 scale. I rebuilt almost the entire front of the car and improved the side line (it’s now more rounded). The rear was already quite good, but I made a few small tweaks there as well. Main features: • V8 engine with differential and 2-speed gearbox • functional steering wheel • opening doors, hood and trunk • detailed interior and body shape Dimensions: 46 × 17 cm I would appreciate feedback - including negative opinions :) REBRICKABLE FLICKR INSTAGRAM

Thank you! :) There would be a problem with lime parts :)

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

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

Thank you! Yes, they are too big :)

Thank you very much! :)

Thank you! It means a lot for me!

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

Thanks a lot! This is a great honor for me!

Thank you very much :)

Thank you!!! :)

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 ;)
