CharlieBravo Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Hi all, + = This is my entry into the C model contest - a Ferrari 458 Spyder. I wasn't going to enter this contest (as I don't own any post-2005 small models) but when I checked rebrickable (thanks whoever suggested that!), I found I had around 75-80% of the above models in my collection, and that was enough to go. Functions: HOG steering - Doors Folding Roof (the HOG is on the bonnet for two reasons - one, it doesn't work with a folding roof, and two - the two models above don't really contain parts to construct a horizontal steering column. Given the functions are minimal, I tried to get the details and scale as close as I can - front splitter, headlights, rear tail lights, exhaust, with interior. It is my first non-studded MOC - it took quite a few attempts to the get the chassis stiff enough. Apologies for the ordinary photos, I will try to improve. [Edit: the pesky "illegal" pin has been replaced with axle and bush. Photos now updated.] Edited November 19, 2014 by CharlieBravo Quote
Zerobricks Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Thats quite a nice MOC you got there. Though I see you used quite some illegal and non conventional building techniques, but practice makes perfrct. Quote
CharlieBravo Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 I think you are probably referring to the half-inserted pin in the last picture and the 3L axles in the front? I am thinking to change both to a 4L axle. I will update the model and photos. Thanks. Quote
Mikuri Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) That folding roof is awesome :)! Illegal as in this: Edited November 18, 2014 by Mikuri Quote
DrJB Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 That folding roof is awesome :)! Illegal as in this: You sure have a good eye ... for catching this :) Quote
zux Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 That folding roof is awesome :)! Illegal as in this: Good catch, however rules don't say anything about using "TLG illegal" techniques Quote
matelegotechnic Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Very good model, but where is the building instructions?? Matthew Quote
jono rocky Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Awesome Model, love the folding roof. Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Cool car with nice functions, but it's hard to say that it is a Ferrari. Perhapse the rear lights resemble it the most. Quote
Lakop Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Great model. Love the roof but could you use the wheels from the digger instead of the smaller wheels? H Quote
