  1. @Feuer Zug Thanks! @dimka_ya I'm glad you like it! What do you mean by that?
  2. @noahtheb Thank you very much!
  3. WOW, this is so incredibly accurate! The details are amazing! The tires give it that extra realism!
  4. Huge shoutout to w35wvi for helping me throughout the build and rendering these amazing pictures for me! Thank you very much! The Ford Deluxe In 1937, Ford introduced the Ford Deluxe to fill the gap between the base model "Standart" and the luxury Lincoln offerings. This marketing approach was in response from the different General Motors brands, (Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Chevrolet), and the Chrysler brands, (Chrysler, Desoto, Dodge and Plymouth). The Deluxe line was build for three years untill it was discontinued in 1941, after the Mercury Eight sales progressed. The 1941 Ford line included the De Luxe and Super De Luxe trim, but these vehicls were not marketed as a seperate line. About the '40 Deluxe In 1940 the Ford Deluxe got it's last facelift, featuring a brand new grille and a sharper hood. The changed front turned out to be one of the most iconic car fronts ever. The fstaest engine that year was the 239 cui (3.9 L) "Y-Head" V8 which produced 95 hp. The '40 Deluxe came in nine different body styles: Coupe, Convertible, Pickup, Tudor Sedan, Fordor Sedan, Sedan Delivery, Ambulance, Convertible Sedan and last but not least Station Wagon or also Woodie Wagon. The 1940 Ford Deluxe is often called the best pre-war Fords of it's kind. What are Woodies? Wood-bodied station wagons, affectionaly known a Woodies, may be gone, but are certainly not forgotten. Originally invented to transport train passengers and their luggage, they became a american icon and also a huge part of the surf culture. Around 1920, car manufacturers started to combine the easy-to-work-on metal and good-looking and structual wood. Wood for cars was used for 30 more years, but it was getting a more and more rare. The last real Woodie with structual wood, the Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon, went of the market in 1953. From then on, wood was only used as a trim piece and got replaced by wood foil in the 1960s. This 1940 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon was built in 1940, pretty much in the peak of the Woodie era. About my MOC As always, I had lots of fun designing this model because these shapes are something I've never done before. This model is basically the complete opposite of my last model, the 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. I'm really happy with the end result, I think the Sand Green goes great together with the Tan and Dark Orange of the wood. w35wvi had a lot of great ideas, for example the rear lights. The interior is mostly made by him. This car has an detailed interior and supports two minifigs. The model is about 8 studs wide, 21 studs long and 6 bricks and 2 plates high. You can use this model as a display piece but you can also play with it. The only problem is that the rear wheels rubb a bit on the fenders. The instructions for this model are easy to follow and for free. If you want to modify this model, no problem, just download the Stud.io 3D file and start building. If there are any problems with the instructions, please contact me. I spent a lot of time and effort in this model so I would be happy if you reply to this topic! I plan on building three more versions of this car, so stay tuned. Watch the FORDS go by! -- 1940 Ford Advert You can find instructions for this model on my Rebrickable page.
  5. I love these volverine hands in the back! Cool!
  6. The small details... That's what makes a model really beautiful. Such as the saxophone and all of the other engine details! Amazing how everything came together in all these different angles. The way you used the cube is so cool! I really like it!
  7. This is so accurate! I love the real car and your model of it! You've built the right car for me ;-) !
  8. Great! I like it!
  9. Cool! Could be cyberpunk.
  10. So cool! I love that you included your own building style. The details and lights are epic!
  11. Wow, this looks so nice! RC and great looks! A great combination! Cool that you can barely see the PU components. Keep up the great work!
  12. Looks really nice! Great that you were abled to put suspension inside. Looking forward to see more in this topic!
  13. Already some time ago since you posted it, but I especially like this one!
  14. Thank you very much! I plan on opening a new Eurobricks topic for every car I built, as I did for my '71 Plymouth Road Runner NASCAR. I also publish my MOCs in the Studio Gallery and I published several building instructions on YouTube. But uploding video instructions doesn't make really sence when you have PDF instructions, that's why I plan on uploading videos with short showcases of my MOCs on YouTube.
  15. How many of these curved slopes did you use?!
  16. Speculation, but a Nissan Z Fairlady + new Z (maybe even a Nismo, if Nissan decides to make one) could be possible. Oh yes, that would be cool too!
  17. I don't know anything yet, but I hope for Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, maybe even as a NASCAR stock car. That would be epic!
  18. I'm not sure about that, LEGO likes to put eastereggs in sets or to tease things. The bus should also be about the same scale I LOVE this set. LEGO did a great job recratng all the angles of the car and you can really see how much ethusiasm the designer had. Awesome how there is no gap between the hood and the fenders! I'm so exited for the review by @kbalage to see all of the details and functions! I'm pretty sure I'll buy this!
  19. I love it it looks very beatiful! I like the little vine cellar. The interior design and seup is also very nice! But it defenitely needs landscape around it!
  20. Wow this looks just like the original! Great details, functions and shapes!
  21. This looks so beautiful! The interior is really nice too!
