Posted February 10, 201510 yr I think it's time for me to start posting some finished LEGO work again, it's been a while Here's my latest creation - an LMP-style race car. Inspired by both the 60053 (which I found too stubby) and the upcoming Speed Champions line. It can sit minifigs upright. Since I'll probably buy some of the Speed Champions stuff I am contemplating moving my future car MOCs to full 6-wide body, as well. Also, it started off in LDD. Here's my POV-Ray render (and my current wallpaper) Here's the whole album with the full-size images! https://www.flickr.c...57650317055727/ Thanks for looking! I am looking for other CITY/Friends cars to modify. I gotta get my feet warm again before I post some of my bigger stuff!
February 10, 201510 yr Wow! Nice work...you did a nice job putting in small details to create a cool overall look.
February 10, 201510 yr Looks like something that'd fit in the 2007 season. Looks like what an LMP1 is if someone decided to go coupe and fight the open-top Audis. Slick stuff.
February 10, 201510 yr Author Thanks all! 'Appreciate the comments. Looks like something that'd fit in the 2007 season. Looks like what an LMP1 is if someone decided to go coupe and fight the open-top Audis. Slick stuff. I do like the Peugeots and closed cockpit prototypes before they had the massive vertical stabilizers
February 11, 201510 yr Author Thanks guys, this was a fun build, too. I just want to create more competition for the Speed Champions, that's all
February 11, 201510 yr Thanks guys, this was a fun build, too. I just want to create more competition for the Speed Champions, that's all Don't worry. After Le Mans 2015 is over, TLG might just drop some of the Le Mans sets... at least from the Volkswagen-Audi Group. That much is certain.Makes me now think if all-new PF stuff like REAL WORKING RC KERS will show up if ever the prototypes get UCS versions.
February 11, 201510 yr Awesome MOC wooootles! I was excited for the LEGO version, but this one is much better, love the rear diffuser. I would like to add a few more LMP cars to go with the set
February 12, 201510 yr A good, more realistic update of 60053, adding much more detail without a notable increase in size. One change I would make, though; on an LMP (Le-Mans Prototype) car, the headlights should be white. Yellow headlights are used on the slower GT cars, allowing the drivers and officials to tell the difference during a race. The Speed Champions sportscars are all GTs, while 60053 itself appears to be a compromise, with both types of light!

Thanks! 1x1 trans-clear tiles are scarce in my inventory at the moment, but when I find 'em I'll change them!
February 27, 201510 yr Not bad! I like the bottom of the car rear, which is very similar to the real thing :) You may take a look at my way to do the LMP ;) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84484&hl= And I think we can try race with each other!

Cool! I'm actually contemplating updating mine using the LaFerrari canopy.
March 23, 20159 yr Hey I really like the look of your racer! Any chance I could grab the LDD off you?
January 29, 20169 yr That's fantastic work! How did you make the headlights sit flush with the flat tiles?
January 29, 20169 yr Author Thanks for looking! As far as headlights, that's actually not connected to the flat 1x2 tile below; there's a 87087 1x1 snot brick to which it's connected to. (the only stud you see in the front hood of the car!) And of course, 1-2/3 brick height is equal to 2 studs in length, hence it sits flush.
January 29, 20169 yr Awesome little build, if you still remember, did you need a lot of extra pieces on top of 60053? I might mod mine.
January 31, 20169 yr Author Awesome little build, if you still remember, did you need a lot of extra pieces on top of 60053? I might mod mine. Aside from the few key elements like wheels, chassis, windshields etc... and the wing assembly it's pretty much a brand new build.
