Posted December 20, 201410 yr For my new project, I wanted to try to reproduce an oldtimer. Maybe this could be a serie. I have choosen the Mercedes 540K Special Roadster for this first try. The challenge was to render the rounded shapes over the wheels, and I´m quiet satisfied of the end result. This set comprises the oldtimer itself, a stand and a minifig. The Mercedes 540K Sp. Roadster has been made in red, black or silver. Hence, each of this three colors are possible. I have chosen red for my model, since I found black a little bit too dark. The seats are in tan-color. The stand is thought to present the model, and comprises a panel on which one can put a sticker with the model´s name and description.

December 21, 201410 yr Regarding the complexity of the shape of a 540 K Special Roadster and the difficulty to design oldtimer or vintage cars by using LDD you've done a great job. With the 1x2 and 2x2 curved slopes the possibilities have increased very much indeed. My general advice would be to try to lower the car for at least one layer, also the rear fenders which should not be taller than the front ones. The 540 K Roadster is a very low sports car of the time thus it isn't supposed to dwarf a fig too much. Concerning the headlights there are those nice light holders for such purposes in case you don't know them. Anyhow nice build, looking forward to more vintage cars from you!
