Dear friends, I relaesed a manual version of my Mazda MX5 (NA) and created some nice new pictures: Specifications: * Parts: 2608 * Scale: 1:8 * L/W/H in cm: 50,0 / 23,9 / 16,9 * Weight: ~ 2,2 kgFunctions: * Front side doors opening * Bonnet and tailgate to open * Suspension front and rear * 4 steps gearbox (integrated on rear axle) * Gear shifter (HOG control) * Steering (movement via steering wheel) * Pop-up headlights movement (HOG control)

Nice feedback 😊 thank you!

Thank you so much! I drove this car more than 20 years ago and I still love it. KI helps with those renders (so this is a really helpful KI use case ...) I produced a video showing the model and the cars's functions:

HI Alex, many thanks for your positive feedback on the design! Regarding more red on the windshield: I wanted the windshield as stable as possible and flexible in terms of building angles, thats why I went for joint ball connections. Unfortunately part-id 14418 (plate special taking the joint ball) is only available in light bluish grey (no others). Working top would be nice, but with technic bricks I think it wouldn't look to good taking into account that the car has a soft-top. Do you know any technic foldable soft-top, which looks good? @Nazgarot Many thanks for your feedback!

I want to introduce my newest MOC creation: This car is definitely one of my icons of the last few decades. It stands for driving fun without tons of horsepower and beinig affordable for the middle class. It was a long-held wish of mine to translate this icon into a Technic model. I wasn't sure whether it would be possible to capture the cuteness and fun it stands for, but I think I managed to do it a little... I hope you like it, too ;-) Building Instructions available at rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-198275/brictric/mazda-mx5-na-motorised/#detailsI wanted that this model is not only a display item but can also be played with. So I put two servo motor inside for steering and gearshifting, one medium motor for movement of pop-up headlighrs and finally one buggy motor for driving. Specifications: * Parts: 2595 (without motors/rc) * Scale: 1:8 * L/W/H in cm: 50,0 / 23,9 / 16,9 * Weight: ~ 2,2 kgFunctions: * Front side doors opening * Bonnet and tailgate to open * Suspension front and rear * 4 steps gearbox (integrated on rear axle) * Gear shifter (motorised) * Steering (incl. movement of steering wheel) (motorised)* Pop-up headlights movement (motorised) * Motorisation of model with 1 buggy motors (BuWizz recommended)Please note:* motors and remote control are not included in the parts list, as they are your decision (for the buggy motor I recommend BuWizz)* rims and tires on the pictures are not original (write me a message where to get)Motors needed:* 2 Servo motors (e.g. Lego 99498)* 1 Medium motor (e.g. Lego 166512)* 1 buggy motor (e.g. BuWizz 2.0 or higher)* remote control & battery in one brick (e.g. BuWizz 2.0 or higher)

Hi Friends! I'd like to show another MOC I designed. It's a Fiat 500c. This car is an icon for me personally. It's not about having tons of horsepower or having a star image, it's about having fun while driving, especially in summer and in the city. Data: Parts: 3261 Scale: 1:7,5 L/W/H in cm: 51,7 / 30,1 / 25,2 Functions: * Side doors opening * Bonnet and tailgate to open * Suspension front and rear (each with 2 springs per wheel) * Front seats adjustable lengthways and foldable (for rear entry) * Steering with control by HOG and/or steering wheel This model shares approx. 24% of parts with Ford F-150 Raptor (42126-1). Let me know your opinion

Hi Friends! I'd like to introduce my new MOC: Ferrari Purosange Specifications:* Parts: 4061* Scale: 1:8* L/W/H in cm: 61,4 / 28,1 / 19,0* Weight: ~ 3,2 kg It's the first Ferrari SUV and has a V12 engine with 725 horse power, which - to my opinion - is a little bit crazy, but still OK for me;-). The car has 2 seatrows and the doors in the second row are opening the other way round. I wanted to make as less compromises as possible when designing the brick version of it. One of my targets was to a full second seat row in the model. So I had to move the technic components near to the axles or even as part of the axle construction as with the 8+N+R-speed Sequential Gearbox. The gearbox is driving the fake motor in the front, but not the car itself, as the gearbox cant take the full torque of the motor. I wanted the model not only being a display item, but can also be played with. So I put one servo motor inside for steering and two Buwizz 2.0 motors for powering the car (and in parallel the fake motor through the gearbox). You wont believe how they are pushing this 1:8 model;-))Functions:* Front side doors sliding/opening* Back side doors sliding/opening (back) * Bonnet and tailgate to open* Trunk cover opening/closing with tailgate * Suspension front and rear* V12 fake motor block in red* 8+N+R Gearbox (driving the fake motor via one of the buggy motors)* Gear shifting via lever at the steering board* Steering (incl. movement of steering wheel) motorised* Motorisation of model with 2 buggy motors (BuWizz 2.0 bundle) More pics on https://www.flickr.com/photos/brictric/albums/72177720316690351 Instructions available on rebrickable.com/users/brictric This model shares approx. 63% of parts with Ferrari Daytona SP3 (42143-1).
