I want so much to build it, it looks very weird but I think that you can put some interesting functions and a nice interior, and the class wheels can make it look amazing.

I am not panning on putting it on Rebrickable for the moment as I don't have already much time to deal with the instructions currently. But the part list can be uploaded on Rebrickable.

When the length isn't mentioned, it means it is an axle with stop so here it is a 8 with stop.

Thank you very much @brunojj1 ! Those pictures are amazing and still confirm that your car looks better than mine . I totally agree on the seats, that's the part of the car I am the least proud of, it was quite tricky and seats are really not my thing lol. Now I need to build yours and get those rims. @lego_tactics All done on photoshop ! @LvdH Stellar pics too !

And the instructions are finally available ! The price is 23€. To get the instructions, you can send me a PM on Eurobricks or on Rebrickable, so if you are not able to send PM here, you may use Rebrickable. If you are a new user, please send with your demand some screenshots of your latest parts orders. Part list : https://bricksafe.com/files/Charbel/rebrickable_parts_mclaren-720s-part-list.csv Big thanks for everyone that helped, pretty happy to finally be able to release them.

Hello ! Sorry for the lack of updated but the instructions are bound to drop, for sure tomorrow. @LvdH asked them to get early, but the instructions weren't mistake-free at that point. Thanks for the wait !

Yes, no problem ! I will sum up everything once the instructions are ready but at the moment if you can't contact me on EB, you should be able to do it on rebrickable.

And the part list is done ! Link to download : https://bricksafe.com/files/Charbel/rebrickable_parts_mclaren-720s-part-list.csv So if you really want to build the MOC, buy the part first and then send me screenshots of some orders and it will be perfect ! The instructions are finished and are being tested, they must be ready for tomorrow.

Thank you @brunojj1 and @LvdH ! I am actually thinking to sell the instructions only to people who aren't new to the website. I will do some exceptions if the person manage to provide proofs that they are building the car (like some screenshots of their latest Bricklink orders), it would be really bad that someone actually spend money on the parts but can't build the car ... Edit : to get the instructions send me a private message, I haven't decided on the price yet but I will know that you are interested !

Thank you all for your comments ! The instructions are almost finished and I'm now doing the part list, so it is coming very soon. I will sell the instructions through Eurobricks and Techlug I believe.

Hello, I believe I need to give some news. The instructions are 75% finished and I will be trying to provide a part list in the next few days ! Thanks for the wait, it is taking much much more time than expected...

Hello, @EVILMONKEY I'm really sorry but I can't provide a partlist for the moment since it is a photo sequence instruction. I need to unbuild the car to make a part list and I still have some modules to take picture of. I will try to release it as soon as possible though.

Hello, sorry for the lack of updates. Thanks a lot for the comments ! Hey, I'm sorry the instructions will be ready around mid to end October. I literally only have 2-3 hours of free time per week with school, so I'm trying to manage it the best possible. Thanks you very much for this very precise feedback ! I haven't shown the monocoque alone yet but I tried to make it as close as the original and the modular build makes the construction more faithful I think.

Thank you very much ! I have started instructions :

Thank you very much @DugaldIC @Pvdb @Jeroen Ottens The real car design was quite controversial when it came out so I understand that some parts of the car could look weird. I haven't tried to use small white panels but I'll give it a try once I come back from vacations, I like that idea.

Amazing work I guess you spent your 2 year work much better than me. The bodywork is very clean with zero holes. And congrats for the frontpage

Thank you ! What do you mean about belly shot ? Here is a Hi-Res pic of the chassis, didn't take more pics before going to holiday, sorry : https://bricksafe.com/files/Charbel/mclaren-720s/IMG_9163.jpg

Extremely sad news. He was one of my main inspiration when I started. RIP

Thank you very much ! I agree that the rear end isn't exactly like the real car but I had to make compromises to keep it simple. I am actually very happy with it even if it isn't totally accurate and wouldn't call it bulky. Yes you guessed it right, I had to lower the car half a stud at the very end of the development and it made the wheels stick out a bit. So I adapted the soft axles around the wheels to make it better. So as it have been pointed out, I think I will slightly adapt the rear wheels arches for the instructions version, it is actually extremely easy to do. And for the instructions, I will sell them only for people on this site and on techlug to avoid as much as possible counterfeits.

Update : Instructions available here : Hey ! I'm pretty happy to present you my latest MOC which I have been working on for the past 2 years. The goal was to build a 1:8 replica of the very famous McLaren 720S. I wanted to have a bodywork with only panels and avoid as much as possible connectors and beams. I also wanted to have a fully modular build, for both the bodywork and the chassis. SPECS : - Fully modular chassis and bodywork - Steering with HOG - Manually operated butterfly doors - active rear wing - Openable hood with 7*7*5 studs front compartment - Independent suspensions on all wheels - Foldable display like the real car - 8 speed sequential gearbox with @Didumos69 stepper.

I won't participate to contests anymore then. Seriously, why ? Having two categories is a very nice idea though.

Thank you so much @brunojj1 ! Your incredible creation is giving so much motivation to keep doing my 720s. The design is very well balanced and the line of the real car are perfectly done. Amazing.

I don't like it either hahaha. I just used it once in my 919 and since then I have been using your design.

Very nice gearbox design and very promising bodywork

I may enter if I have time...
