dikkie klijn Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Really nice! also fancinated by the gearbox structure, maybe a video bout that? Quote
Lipko Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I'm grean with envy. Anyway, that's an awesome car model. I don't remember if I said it already, but you are my favourite Lego car builder. I only miss the adjustable rear spoiler/wing Quote
Pvdb Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Thanks to all for the kind comments and constructive criticisms. Regarding the high roof - it is a slight departure from reality. If I find a way, I may address that in future if I find the time. I only miss the adjustable rear spoiler/wing [/Quote]Regarding the issue of the adjustable rear wing, just like the real car this one is adaptive and changes angle. It is held in place by friction pins. Unfortunately though it has to rely on finger pressure rather than air pressure to change angle. Edited February 8, 2016 by Pvdb Quote
tibivi Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 awesome built car, the design is spot on and the mechanics are top notch, especially for this scale. Quote
3BrickFriends Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Wow that is stunning from every angle. The use of colour and angles is beautiful. Wow! Quote
Marcel1980 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I am a bit clueless how the gearbox works... Especially at the front end. Just can't get my head around it... Quote
Meatman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Been away for awhile and it looks like I have missed some great car MOCs. This one in particular is a pretty looking model. Wow. Perhaps a bit stubby from the side view, but that could just be my monitor. Interested to see how this new gearbox design works. Looks like a lot of gears. I see people commenting on this paddle shift mechanism, but the opening post says the paddles are purely aesthetic. I am confused. Quote
deehtha Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 The paddles at the steering wheel are aesthetic. The functional ones are on the dash or hood somewhere reachable. Quote
Lipko Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 There are some MOCs recently that would deserve to be Front Paged, Jim is too busy I guess. Quote
Meatman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 The paddles at the steering wheel are aesthetic. The functional ones are on the dash or hood somewhere reachable. Ok. I was confused because he said they were aesthetic but says they are connected and has lines pointing to them on the steering column labeling them and someone else mentioned about functioning paddle shifters. But they didn't really look functional as the thin liftarm is only catching 1/2 a stud.for the paddle and the mechanism schematic doesn't appear that they do anything. Quote
brunojj1 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Paul had a WIP topic ( http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=115835&st=0 ) where the working paddles were shown in a short video: https://vimeo.com/153777673 I guess we will get a new video with all the functions, no pressure on him.

Oh, ok. I see. They move along with it. That is sweet! Quote
Pvdb Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Or this newer video (poor quality shot with my phone just now) https://vimeo.com/154623743 Quote
agrof Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Nice car, but I still have my focus on the door mechanism, over the other details. Brilliant...just brilliant! :thumbup: Quote
Meatman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Nice car, but I still have my focus on the door mechanism, over the other details. Brilliant...just brilliant! :thumbup: I am interested in seeing that too. There was a new hot rod type car from crowkillers I had seen on facebook that was also implementing the little turntables into the doors. I watched the video for it, but still don't quite understand how it worked. Do you have any future plans for instructions for this Koenisgsegg? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I know this car ...it has 1 hp for each kg for a total of 1341 hp...and a maximum speed of 440 km/h. You have done an impressive work! :wub: Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Great to see this beauty finished. All the hard work has truly paid off. Very clever (and still playable) paddle shifters. I do have to agree with the others on the roof though, it is just that little bit too high. But I know how hard it is to follow all the lines of the original (I am pretty sure I couldn't have done it any better). Enjoy the moment (and start thinking about your next project ) Quote
Lox Lego Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Or this newer video (poor quality shot with my phone just now) https://vimeo.com/154623743 Do you have to press those shifters to change the gears on this car? Or can you change the gears from the remote control? I am also extremely interested in the door mechanism... If you have a chance a quick video of that would be great Quote
grum64 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 ...and start thinking about your next project... A Kia Sedona perhaps? Maybe in black Quote
JayDee96 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Love how well you captured all the centre entertainment controls. Quote
agrof Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 @Meatman: on Crowkiller's hotrod there is a simple push rod mechanism, with linear movement. Pvdb achieved a more sofisticated mechanism, where 3 directional movement happens in the same time. It is better to see in the WIP topic, and hopefully in a video soon. Quote
