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.]

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.

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.

That folding roof is awesome :)!

Good catch, however rules don't say anything about using "TLG illegal" techniques

Very good model, but where is the building instructions?? Matthew

Awesome Model, love the folding roof.

Cool car with nice functions, but it's hard to say that it is a Ferrari. Perhapse the rear lights resemble it the most.

Great model. Love the roof but could you use the wheels from the digger instead of the smaller wheels?
