    75886 kind of had those.

    The reference seems to be this: I think, similar to the F40's standard-Competizione conversion, the Charger will have the option to remove the supercharger. I appreciate that they do include it, since Dominic Torreto's Charger is definitely an iconic car. As to the width of the wheels, a quick Bricklink search shows that the narrow wheel is available in black, so if you are a lucky owner of 4 of those, some Fabuland tires and a few light gray pin connectors, you should be able to do something like this:

    The LDD subforum, which I linked above, has a dedicated thread for official sets built in LDD - here it is. Unfortunately, 76057 doesn't seem to be among the built sets, but it is available for Stud.io and Mecabricks. Perhaps, you could start with Stud.io after all, as you originally planned

    I don't have any experience with Stud.io, i mostly use LEGO Digital Designer and Mecabricks. LDD is easier to figure out and the experience is more similar to actual brick building thanks to the auto-snap feature. It is somewhat strict in terms of which connections are allowed and which are not, but most of the time it is more than enough. Also, there is an LDD subforum on Eurobricks with tons of useful information and tips available. Mecabricks, on the other hand, is much more flexible when it comes to unusual connections, but it will take more time to figure out how to use it. Mecabricks' big advantages are that 1) you don't have to install anything as you build in you browser online, and 2) it has a very good built-in rendering tool, which I personally use a lot, e.g. for images I linked above.

    That's just for road markings, if you don't need any, you could use just the bricks. That's a reference for you to figure out how to match the width of the bridge to the width of your SNOT ramp. The picture shows that 2 studs = 5 plates. The bridge is 10 studs wide, which is (10 / 2) * 5 = 25 plates, or 8 bricks and 1 plate:

    Honestly, considering that Mansory have produced quite a few outrageously colored cars, I see nothing wrong with a purple-on-white G-Wagen

    As discussed in the 42096 topic, the white wheel arches are smaller and very likely printed, unfortunately: Fingers crossed, even if LEGO decide to produce a few more wheel arch designs, they will produce the three existing ones in more colors and without prints before that.

    30477px1 are indeed quite expensive at $7 or more for a used one on Bricklink, so for the same money you can get a few hundred 1x4 or 1x6 bricks, which cost only a few cents per item. As to building advice, you could first do some testing with the parts you already have. The most straightforward approach would be to simply build a wall-like structure with a stripe in the middle like this: You will have to extend it to make it the right size, so some measuring will be necessary. This might be helpful: From there you can modify it by adding some bracing to avoid flex. You should be able to hide it on the bottom part of the road. The hard part will be the transition from bricks to baseplate. Here you might need to get creative or ask someone more qualified for advice

    For Option 3 you may look at something like this: There are a lot of other similar solutions all over the forum, but that's the first one I found. If you have some spare parts to manage this, it shouldn't be very tricky.

    This looks great! Do you have any shots of the interior space?
  11. imvanya
    Nice interior, quite minimalistic, but one would expect that from a spaceship that is about function, not luxury. I also wonder how true to the SW canon that roll of toilet paper is?.. I'm not very good at building spaceships, or Sci-Fi Mocs in general for that matter, but integrating an already built interior into a MOC sounds very complicated. In this particular case, it'll have too be quite large, too. If someone does use it, though, I'll be interested to see the result, that's for sure. As a piece of LDD advice, you can take screenshots with Ctrl+K.

    I would say that in terms of steering the critical steps involving gears are as follows: 293-298, book 1 316-333, book 1 335, book 1 364-375, book 1 I would specifically check these as they are more likely to be missed: the 12t gear at step 296 (the one engaged with the steering rack, located right above the white 1L connector/liftarm) the 16t at step 335 (visible at the front, under the black curved panel), arguably the easiest one to fix

    That is very nice. Cheese slopes look really good as roof tiles, but unfortunately it does take quite some space to build a roof like that, as you pointed out in the description.

    Made me wanna try it myself: Also tried this:

    Maybe, some of the official sets could be helpful? For instance, https://brickset.com/sets/10229-1/Winter-Village-Cottage or the buildings from https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Elves? And do check this topic If there's a place to come across interesting building techniques for houses, it is there. As for more specific suggestions, could these work?
  16. imvanya
    It looks like you pasted the same link to the reference image twice.
  17. imvanya
    Very well done! The shaping is lovely, looks somewhat like a mini 31052, and the color scheme is incredibly consistent. Definitely could be an official set. By the way, do you have more pictures of the interior? Is it similar to 60182, or did you have to change it?
  18. imvanya
    Could it be one of these https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=M&catString=34.302? No white helmets here, though. In general, attaching a photo to a post like this makes identifying the part/minifig/set much easier

    I think moving the front a stud backwards could help. The 1/2 stud offset in front of the headlights is gone, but I think it still looks quite like an Enzo:

    @TheLegoPerson9 @RacerRabbit Obviously, we are talking about official sets here, but you might like this:

    Decided to update one of my older cars, the Muscle car. The one thing that's been bugging me all this time was the emptiness of the front grille. Now I've finally come up with a solution for it that I am happy with: At least now it looks like something that a front grille design could look like. Anyway, the links for the files are available in the original post at the link above.

    Beautiful. One of those things that would've been built sooner or later
  23. imvanya
    According to Bricklink, it's 5 studs: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=35189&idColor=85#T=C&C=85

    @supertruper1988, thanks for sharing the instructions! I have actually thought of a more "buildable" solution for the rear end to avoid using the trans orange parts, but keep the look interesting. The 1x6 tile can be replaced with a 1x6 plate (the 4x1 bows allow a 1/2 stud offset) and 1x1 Trans-red round tiles may be used as tail lights:

    Another few months have passed, and I finally completed another MOC. I am still experimenting with brick-built canopies, this time I ended up using ninja swords among other things. Once I used another ninja-related piece - ice cream scoop that was used by Lloyd of Ninjago fame in one of the sets - it became obvious that the car had to be something Japanese. So, here is Tsuba: You can download the .lxf here (a few parts are missing), the model is also available at Mecabricks here. As usual, comments and critique are welcome! UPD: Building instructions are also now available on Bricksafe.
