    Well working at a manufacturer of fine automobiles I can tell you that a lot of my colleagues are really impressed with how the car looks and goes. as other people have said a purely Lego car wouldn’t work without “kraggle” and the stress that a lot of parts would be under would be too much. let us all just appreciated these huge builds like the x-wing etc

    Thanks for the extra few days @Jim so is Friday 7th the date now then?

    I'd contact Lego about this, the website is a blatant clone of the official Lego store and stuff like this should be a concern for us all. Just like fake Banking websites IMO

    on the Brothers Brick article they have a load of photos of the build and show that the only non lego parts are a very basic steel chassis to mount the wheels, a few bearings, gears and chains for the drive and a steering rack as an engineer in the car industry i'm impressed

    Well you can see it was a grey sky day so they've obviously used additional lighting for some shots and then for the shots of him driving the car you can tell this was done with a chase car coming alongside as the waistline of the door is bouncing up and down in the foreground of the shot. the aerial shots will be done by drones these days

    Don't see why it wouldn't it's a bit of "Window dressing" as I'd call it. the model is still mainly Technic

    Looks real to me, especially knowing the location and also looking at how much the mirror is bouncing

    Better video here with “voice over man” ... https://youtu.be/ZQdlCQmzUAM Love the way they use a well known piece of test track too :)

    Thanks, the person from work doesn’t have the Porsche so would be buying from scratch

    So I posted links to the video on my work car club Facebook group and some people are interested in this. do you know an approximate GBP cost for all the parts if you bricklinked ? Or do you have a BrickLink wish list available so I can check?

    Shame I was looking forward to this, thought the little aircraft looked great

    Cracking model. You’ve captured the look of the car perfectly.

    Yes the missing car is LIME. The springs are part of the mechanism to swing the cars out, I copied the actual mechanism on the real ride. I’ll make sure I take a picture to explain all the movements in the mechanism. I’m hoping TC15 is “Who can build the biggest box out of light grey panels” ;) I’ve still to try it with some Technic Figures in the cars and work out the optimum speed, hopefully I can get a good Whip motion and they don’t go flying!

    A big update for you all ... the track is now complete and so are most of the cars ... one missing, guess the colour? I’ll leave it up to you to work out the size of this thing! Now just to work out how to hide the motors and stiffen the gears a bit to stop them from slipping. Going to be tight to hit the deadline given work and family commitments but I’m not giving up!

    the tube across the bottom of the door looks so much better, i wonder why this wasn't the original solution ? What length of tube have you used ?
  16. Seasider
    That looks horrendous. They've photoshopped 2 vehicles of different scales together as what you have there is the lovechild of a Chiron and an F1 car ... the problems this would have is ... poor (non-existent) turning circle, really weird long suspension arms for the rear, terrible aero for the exposed wheels (an F1 car has exposed wheels from the start and the aero is designed around the turbulence created from these) .. also what engine would this have ? if you put an F1 engine in the back it would be tiny
  17. Seasider
    That’s a shame Doug I was looking forward to seeing your creation

    Hi @Jim, the ride is coming along well. I now think I’ve got Europe’s supply of grey panels to complete the base for the track and the cars are almost done. So hopefully this week they should all come together and then it’s jusy powering it and hoping it actually works! ... oh and then a little finishing with a fence and stuff. Not sure how I’m going to photograph / film it at the moment as it’s a bit big!

    Ride looks good and I love the Fairground Organ music during the video. Shame you couldn’t get the minifigs to stay in the “cars”

    Its sitting on 4 x 42610 Wheels (11mm dia) attached to the 92907 Split Connectors so the wheels are acting as trolley wheels like the real ride. i'd love to get it a stud lower for the seat but I can't see that happening. I've thought about using curved panels for the sides but I was running into shoulder width problems. The main thing i want to fix is the grey connectors and i have a plan for that

    How comes I've only just seen this ! I hope you don't mind but I'll share it with a few people at work ;)

    Bit of an update. Managed to get an hour to play with last night, so thought I better work on the cars. First task was to get the wheels more to the corners (better stability) and then get our man seated. Not too sure how happy I am with the end result.
  23. Seasider
    Thats a good suggestion, always fancied building one of those RC trucks. Either that or build a reach stacker and a load of containers
  24. Seasider
    Great review as ever @Jim I agree that its a good looking model and also agree with your feelings of the B-model. If it was a licensed model I'd understand the small changes for the B but in this case I want to build something else.

    Build a big grey box for TC15 - hint for @Jim
