I wanted to accurately depict the queue, but I didn't have 10 baseplates. :D

That's a good mindset to have. Something I have done is look at an equivilent MOC you like, compare it to yours and write a list of the things you feel yours is lacking. Then you can plan out the details and techniques you want to achieve with yours. Initilly, your colorscheme is a bit lacking, that blue on the bottom floor stands out the most; as someone said you should change it to white. Next I'd change the red awning to alternating colors. While I don't thinkg the gold 1x1 rounds in the sign are bad, they are overwhelmed by the red. Something else that gives the original more detailing, is alternating the roof slants by one plate height. usually its small but meaningful details like that. In the end, the more you build the more you will figure out. Just keep at it.

Here is a small brick-built dog. LXF

Not to nitpick, but you have them on the wrong corners. The clocks should be on the faces closest to the viewer, but you wouldn't see any clocks on the further tower. Excellent rendition btw, you should build it out of light tan.

It looks really cool. I can see myself getting it with the intent of turning it into an actual running train with flapping wings and everything. Now tht would be a fun project.

I just posted a new car in that forum, but my question to the group is which froum 10-wide 1/22 scale vehicles should go in? I know this one is more for city scale vehicles, seven or eight-wide max, but since the Model Team forum has such a Technic slant, which it should, would vehicles like these be better appreciated in this forum? Cheers

I think at this scale the street needs to be brick built, but rotated 90deg so you can have single plate thin street markers.

Someone mentioned these would be better here than in the town section. I'm waiting on some bricks to put the regular road version together, but until then, here is the race car. Based on the Giulia 105 series chassis, the Spider was launched in the 36th Geneva Motor Show in March 1966. Unnamed at launch, the name "Duetto" was chosen in a write-in competition in Italy. The Italian firm of Pininfarina was responsible for the design of the body; in fact, the Duetto was the last project with which founder Battista "Pinin" Farina was personally associated. Franco Martinengo was the Design Director at Pininfarina at that time. Pininfarina were also responsible for the manufacture of the vehicle's monocoque construction (designed with the relatively new principles of crumple zones incorporated into the front and rear). The engine was a 1570 cc variant of the Alfa Romeo twin cam four cylinder engine, and produced 109 hp (81 kW). Sparsely fitted inside but including five speed manual transmission, disc brakes and independent front suspension. Due to its round (or long) tail, the Series 1 Spider is sometimes known by the nickname of "Osso di Seppia" - Italian for "cuttlefish bone". This particular car was the model featured in the 1967 movie The Graduate, driven by Ben, the character played by Dustin Hoffman.

This is superb.

Personally I really liked this set. Beyond the good colors, it had a lot of good parts usage and very interesting techniques.

I dig it a lot. It has an excellent pockylips vibe. "Two days ago I saw a rig that could haul that tanker." :D

That's a great idea.

This is very nice, great color scheme.

Here are the final photos of the Cougar. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. On a side note, this started out as a 16-wide model, but I realized I didn't have nearly enough red bricks to do that.

Reminds me more of the MH900E than the Monster.

I got the feeling mine was a bit to tall and curvy on top for that scale so I lowered the entire car one plate, and also lowered the roof by one. The bumpers, while nice, were visually too heavy, so I streamlined them while still keeping the curve.

I'm away from my bricks but I made further changes to it in LDD... Here is the interior.

I wouldn't change that, it gives the ship more of a scarred, patched together vibe.

I changed the rear lights to match the new grill, and the trunk holds a spare tire.

I made a couple of quick changes. I shortened the hood one stud, removed the racing strips over the top, fixed the bumpers, and tried a different grill using vertical lines. The green wheel caps wil be replaced with something else later, I just didn't have anything star like in a grey color.

V-LV-55D Since I was in an automotive mood I decided to take a crack at one of my favorite muscle cars. Its only a shell, but the doors and trunk open; I do think it needs to be two studs wider because it feels really slim. I plan on having an opening hood with engine, and an interior. What do you guys think?

This looks just like the GranSport Convertible, excellent job. I like your use of black and white wedges. Can you add a white 1x1 to fill to gap in front of the front mudguard or is there no space?

It looks much better with the increased height and tiles, but is the garage area for a car to be on a lift with a minifig able to stand underneath?
