Hi all, I'm not building much these days, however I've always wanted to create a minifig scale Porsche 911 model that fits well into my scale system. The 911 is such an icon — and it's one of the few German cars that blend really well into a US-style layout. And guess what: at the last exhibition of the R66 layout (held at a venue related to vintage cars), my stand happened to be placed right next to a beautiful 1960s Porsche 911 — which turned out to be a real source of inspiration. So I decided to give it a shot. Shaping the classic 911 is pretty complex, and at this scale, you don’t have many options. On the other hand: once you get the form factor right, there’s not much need to fiddle with the details — the shape either works or it doesn’t. Another key point: the now-common 4w canopy solution on 6w LEGO cars (especially with mudguards) has never worked for me. That’s why I went with the 5w canopy design I had used successfully in the past — you might remember the Aston Martin or a couple of the Mustangs. Scale is almost exactly 1:35. I always start from a blueprint on the iPad, using the correct wheelbase — everything else is derived from that. To me, “minifig scale” means, first and foremost, that a minifig (with soles) must be taller than a car, at least - like here - on a sports car. This means the build has to be kept as low as possible. My first try: This model was temporarily conversed into the following, as reminiscence of my childhood: Then there was the Turbo. At this version I opted for a longer roofline, which seems to be a better solution throughout: The small scale allows for minifig scenes between cars, e.g. a sales conversation (try that with any SC model, be it 6w or 8w): And lastly the "collector's item": Probably the last one for now (hopefully there'll be a green one and especially an orange one some day, but I didn't even check if all necessary parts exist in those colours). Thanks for looking!

Hello Porsche and Speed Champions fans, The Porsche 911 G-series (1973–1989, often referred to as the Porsche 911 Carrera during its production period) is one of the most iconic generations of the legendary 911 lineup. Known for its distinctive "impact bumpers," introduced to meet U.S. safety regulations, the G-series combined classic 911 design with modernized features. Building instructions are available on the following lins: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-212616/_TLG_/porsche-911-g-series It is a studless build in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style, and can be built with or without the rear wing. I wanted to create a sleek model which is as accurate as possible in this small scale. I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, therefore only a standard vehicle registration plate sticker, a Porsche logo sticker and two types of simple, triangular, black stickers are used, but the model looks decent without any stickers too (see picture 8). My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. The model contains lots of details: for example the iconic headlights, side view mirrors, door handles, a rear wing, rear seats etc.. Maybe the most challenging one was to recreate the tilted hood with the air intake. I tried to fill every unnecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used. The model has space for one minifigure. I suggest to use a small or middle sized hair or helmet. The instructions and parts list files do not contain the minifigure shown on the pictures. Thanks for visiting, _TLG_

Here's my endeavour to model Porsche 911 (964). I wish this could be done in yellow, though there's one specific part forming headlights that is absent in this color. Hope in the future TLG will release it.
