Hi, I would like to present to you my latest MOC, the BMW 328 Hommage: It features the standard functions for a Lego Technic supercar: - 4 wheel independent suspension - steering geometry including Ackerman, positive camber and minimal (0.5 stud) scrub radius - V6 fake engine - Opening hood - A 4+N+R sequential gearbox This was the thing that has given me the most headaches during the build. But after 3 months of trying way too many designs to mention I finally succeeded. It is operated by the gearstick in the center: The stick can be moved sideways to switch between drive (D), neutral (N) and reverse (R ). If in drive the stick can be moved forward and backwards to switch gearing up or down. A mechanical lock prevents switching from 1 to 4 or vice versa. This model started when I cleaned up my workplace to make space for the SS Amsterdam. The BMW was already lurking in my head, but I hadn't figured out how make the iconic headlights. But during the cleaning I saw this: and suddenly I knew how to make the lights and forgot the ship completely: I have tried to replicate the flowing asymmetric design of the interior within the limits of the Lego system: A picture of the rear: More photos can be found on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.c...157665220014892 Payed instructions are on their way as well. Some trivia to finish with: Since 19L flexaxle is available in black again I felt no inhibition to use 6 of them in this model The pin with pinhole is rapidly becoming my favorite part: I used 58 of them (it helps that the model is black) I have tried to hard to use only parts that are readily available, the only really old parts are the wheels I think I used 'only' 51 panels if I counted correctly Leg godt, Jeroen
