(MOC) Mazda Miata-creator style

UPDATES:

After I uploaded it to Flickr, I noticed there where some things missing, like side-mirrors and some details at the front, so I made some changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Information:

This car was built using Lego Creator style techniques, it has a lot of details and funcionality, like the opening doors and the detailed engine, to see more pictures you can go to my Flickr.

 

Lego Ideas:

This car is available to support on Lego Ideas, so if you like this, click here.

Thanks for stopping by,

Nice done, very true to the real thing.. Looks better with the top down!

I know, That's why there is only one picture of it with the top up! Thanks!

Nice job! Really well done.

I'm driving a Miata for over 15 years now. :)

Good to see the front smile. I think the door should have a bit more curve (the upper line) but I guess that is quite hard to pull of in Lego.

Thanks! yeah, I know the door could have more curve, but for that I would have to change the whole door and the way it is connected to the rest of the car, so I will leave it for the future.

Great shaping! Especially the front looks very good. Nice build!

Not a bad attempt to capture the shape of the car. I agree it could do with some curve along its side too but in this scale I guess it's difficult.

 

i wonder if all those bricks are available in yellow ? Then I could make my car :)

Actually those are in Yellow (not sure about the 1x2x5 on the door but those can be replaed by many 1x4s or something), I would love to make one in that colour but I just don't have the  amount of bricks. Also, I'm planning on making an LDD file with building instructions, so if you want I can send you the file when I'm finnished.

I just made a yellow one, with some 'minor' modifications, pictures are here:

I prefer the mouth on your red one. Oh and mine has a black windscreen surround as I have a J-Limited 2.

I like the door on the yellow, would it be possible to put curved bricks on the top of the door too, i think then you'd have a good representation of the door shape.

I also prefer the mouth on the red one, and I also think the door could have more curve, but I didn't have enough bricks to make it look right. Anyway, thank you for your feedback and I will keep it in mind for a future miata! (Maybe I'll make it on blue, but I have very few pieces.

Fantastic muscle car ...I  like how you've arranged the door mirrors

I've been seeing a lot of old Miatas cruising around lately, many of them with giant aftermarket spoilers! Never thought that would be a thing.
