paanjang16 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 V-LV-53A Thanks to the ongoing Shell Lego promotion in my country, I managed to snag a few of the Shell Lego polybags. However being more of a City/Town AFOL collector, I decided to modify the vehicles with some extra parts so that it is still 4 stud wide but able to fit a minifigure. The driver must be able to enter through the doors and drive the vehicle with a steering wheel. I use the compact spring pulled motor as the baseplate and work up from there. I used the 458 Italia, F40, 250 and the FXX. My personal favourite is the F40 since the white piece allows it to blend in with the classic town Shell sets. I did not stick the stickers since I the cars looks great without the stickers. As I mentioned earlier, the F40 has the same livery as the old Shell Classic Town sets. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Pretty neat use of those parts! When I first saw those sets released, I too, thought about how they'd look as 4W city vehicles. Nice job on the builds. Quote
tomdobs55 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Great mods "paanjang" Really love seeing 4 wide cars making a comeback. It's nice to see "regular" cars and not specialized vehicles like police, fire and construction, really livens up a town. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 AWESOME little collection of vehicles......the yellow and white sports cars.....so cool so classic town like ! Brick On Drive On 'paanjang' ! Quote
JopieK Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 hehe very nice job!!! the vehicles almost look like whacky wheels ;) Quote
WhiteFang Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Very nice job. It's very cute to see them in 4-stud scale. I will love to try that too. Quote
gazumpty Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Cool...I love to see 4 stud vehicles. This is really great work. My first attempts at MOC & MOD will be to create vehicles so I will be pinching some of your wee ideas here...and hopefully bricklink the parts I see here Quote

melbs Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) nice collection and mods you got there we had the same idea, minifig-able the shell lego ferrari that's currently out in promo now. check mine out here: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=76974 though i didn't use the front end on the f40 as the parts tend to look cartoonish.
