I could suggest this article at Brickset, it looks like it might be helpful: https://brickset.com/article/22494/the-economy-of-lego-city

A very good-looking building! Very modern and quite unusually shaped, but the subdued colors complement it nicely. And the use of airplane wings piece is NPU if I have ever seen one

Thanks 'L@go'. Yeah, to be honest, I thought so, too. I guess I was really excited that you could attach those slopes at all Anyway, I'd better start working on a mod/fix.

Just a quick update to the previous post. To keep the looks sleek but still enable the car to fit a minifig, I've made a compromise where there is no steering wheel. It can be fixed by 1) replacing the windshield and the 2x4 tile and 2) removing the tile with handlefrom the interior and putting in the steering wheel. Since the replacement wedge piece is not available in black, a recolor of the whole roof from black to white might be needed. Basically, after the mod the look would not be as sleek, in my opinion, but the car would become more "functional"

Here's something I've been working on for quite a while. As with most of the cars in this thread, it started with an idea that I wanted to test - using this wedge piece as a fender. As a matter of fact, I had that idea way back in the day and did actually utilize it in a MOC. It was done in a bigger scale mostly because I also wanted to use the snowboard piece as the front lip, but it was the older, larger snowboard rather than the current minifig-scaled one, which was later also featured in this thread. So, long story short, I finally got to the point where I was happy with how this one looked. Originally, I went for something like a Nissan 350Z, but eventually the GT3 racer theme appeared, first in the color scheme and then (more obviously) in the giant rear spoiler. Here it is: The one thing that still bugs me about this build is the way the blue slopes on the front are attached. LDD refuses to connect it using its inverted sibling. However, it looks like it actually should be possible: If anyone can check the viability of this set-up, I would love to know. Anyway, here is a link to the .lxf file, feel free to use it. Comments are welcome, as usual.

Once again, thanks for sharing the instructions 'cameron-miller1988'!

Nothing fancy, just wanted to add a little texture to the rear: Not that it is that necessary in this case, but the .lxf file is available here

Those white bricks definitely look out of place, a misprint, I would say. Overall, the build does look quite straight forward, so I would not overthink it if I were you. But I agree, mistakes like that do not help. Maybe, it is some kind of an evil prank on innocent AFOLs?

1 row = 1 brick = 3 plates high 1 column = 1 stud wide The notches mean exactly that - verticla notches are 1 stud apart, horizontal notches are 1 plate apart. At the top you have the list of all the parts you will need to build the portrait. All layers appear to be 2 studs deep. I am sorry if I have just explained something you already knew

I slightly changed the rear of the car, I personally like it better now: The file at Brickshelf has also been updated and now includes both versions, see the previous post for the link.

After a rather long break (life kind of got in the way of building ) I have finally finished another car. It is yet another pony-/muscle-car loosely based on a real-life one. With this one I wanted to avoid the "6-wide body/4-wide cockpit" build as previously suggested by 'GallardoLU' in this thread, hence the usual suspects - A-pillars made out of mini antenna pieces. My favorite, though, are the double slopes at the back, they actually determined the inspiration/prototype for the whole build. I am currently trying to get the hang of using Bluerender, so apologies for rather mediocre renders: The exhausts are quite silly, but this style is very common among official City cars, so why not? As usual, feel free to grab the .lxf.

A cool idea and very well executed, too

Thanks a lot 'cameronmiller1988'! It is really great to see these cars built "in the brick", the way the were meant to be Also, I really like the color choice. Azure seems to be somewhat underappreciated, but I personally think it is quite sporty. Anyway, if you feel like sharing pictures once any of the other ones are built, I would love to see them. Who knows, I might come up with another one by then

Great cars 'ST3AG'! I especially like the muscle cars (#7 and #8), while the red SUV reminds me very much of the Canyonero from the Simpsons: Keep up the good work!

I would say it is this part combined with a specific angle at which the picture/render was taken:

I am well aware this has nothing to do with LEGO, but I stumbled upon this brilliant documentary and thought that maybe some of you would appreciate it. Some Kind Of Quest from Andrew Wilcox `

might be helpful, you can see all of the parts in the video. I do not have it, but it definitely looks very Sci-Fi and Space-y. There are a few interesting pieces that might be useful in Sci-Fi MOCs, although you do not get the newer pieces like stud shooters which a newer Sci-Fi set would definitely have. I also personally really like the robot/mech minfigure

Younglings served ahead of the line

This looks very cool! The Tumbler wheel is perfect for a wastelands chopper, and there's also a little bit of Mad Max, a little bit of Fallout, and some Star Wars, too Actually, the color scheme feels very Boba Fett-ish (I wonder if that's a thing). Have you tried fitting a SW Buildable Figure (e.g. Rey) on the bike? Or are the figures too small/big for the scale? Anyway, I really like it as well as your other motorcycle MOCs, will be looking out for whatever's going to be your next one!

#22 - 2 points #24 - 2 points #23 - 1 point

Sorry for bumping the topic, just came by to say how much I like the idea of the Separatists. Not only is it NPU, but a PUN as well I learned about them in a different AG topic and for the last half hour was digging into the related lore. I might as well start following AG now

Well, I should check out Andromeda's Gates MOCs more often then. Besides, from all the games on Eurobricks AG is aesthetically and thematically closest to what I like - Sci-Fi, rival corporations, cyberpunk, all the good stuff. I even built a character fig (partially dark red ) at some point, but never got to actually participating. Who knows, maybe I will eventually?

"Separatist ship"? I see what you did there Always great to see something that is not strictly a LEGO piece used creatively in a MOC
