Hi,
I would like to present my latest commissioned MOC, the Ferrari 458 Spider:
It is 1:10 scale replica of this iconic Ferrari. It has the usual features (independent suspension, openable doors, fake V8 engine, steering, etc.) and a few more noteable functions:
A 4-speed sequential gearbox (thanks to @Didumos69 for inspiration of the stepper mechanism)
A convertible roof
Here is a video showcasing the functions:
It was a real pleasure to design and build this car. Especially the rear end is a maze of functions with the mechanism for the roof, the gearbox, the rear suspension and the fake engine all cramped into that little space. And of course I also still had to get some beams across as well to give the model enough rigidity to make the suspension useful. I have rebuild that section dozens of times until it suddenly all snapped into place.
The stickers were made by @jaaptechnic, including a few you can't see on the photos .
Comments and questions are appreciated.
Leg godt,
Jeroen
