Pvdb Posted April 27, 2016 Author Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) You Can Get round the black 7l axle by adding a straight connector and shorter black axle. As for the black bushes just 2 are really needed. The 2 14l white flex axles could possibly be subbed with 12l plus white pin connector to give the extra length. As for the orange half beams in the seats they can also be subbed as I am sure upholstery is a matter of choice☺ That just leaves those two 3l white ribbed hoses. I suggest cut them down to size as they are the rarest part I think, although not that expensive. Edited April 27, 2016 by Pvdb Quote
technic_addict Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 The rubber bands weren't in the bsx file or rebrickable. Do you happen to know which three are required? Quote
AFOL1976 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Also the white connector #4 (32192) are rare and difficult to get Quote
Pvdb Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 The rubber bands weren't in the bsx file or rebrickable. Do you happen to know which three are required? 2 x Small White 1 x Blue - this is the one Blakbird used. I used one of the older style black bands. Fortunately white connector #4 (32192) is back in production and released in a set this year so hopefully should become less rare again. Quote
Duky Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Fortunately white connector #4 (32192) is back in production and released in a set this year so hopefully should become less rare again. in which set? i don't find it. Edited April 28, 2016 by Duky Quote

Fortunately white connector #4 (32192) is back in production and released in a set this year so hopefully should become less rare again. So the white is the x71 Rubber Belt Small (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 2 x 2 but I am still not sure about the blue one. Is it the x37 Rubber Belt Medium (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 3 x 3? I didn't have time to look at the function of the blue band but I saw it was installed spanning the distance of a 1x3 lift arm and connecting to two ball joints. So just not sure if it should be a small as well. Quote
LEGOMAN132 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) love the Moc. Edited April 28, 2016 by LEGOMAN132 Quote

Pvdb Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 I am not really considering any changes but have absolutely no problem with others making modifications to suit their taste and choices and inventory, and would in fact be interested to see any significant mods that can improve the model further.

Berghain89 Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I will start working on an RC version of your Creation. Goal: motorized doors, steering, drive and gear shifting. ^^. I am still working on a way to put all that in that beautiful MOC. ;) I will post pictures in this topic if i ever finish it. :) Quote

Rikus Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks a lot for your great MOC! I just finished ordering missing parts on BL... Can't wait for them to arrive! Quote
charlesw Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks for this amazing MOC I'm starting sourcing all the parts too...but I will take my time to do so, since I want to build 42056 first Quote
Rainbow Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Superb model. Maybe asked before, but is it in the same scale as the 42056 Porsche(1:8)? Thanks. Quote
technic_addict Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Superb model. Maybe asked before, but is it in the same scale as the 42056 Porsche(1:8)? Thanks. I pretty sure it is smaller at 1:10 Quote
grum64 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Congratulations Paul on this amazing build being featured in this months Blocks Magazine. Quote
Rikus Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Update: After about 10 days BLing parts, I'm currently building this beauty... I'm at page 43/170 of BI... And I already spent over 4 hours building! This is, by far, the most complex and "dense" model I ever built... And I built many flagships and MOCs (including NK Predator)... Kudos to PvdB for designing it and to Blackbird for the excellent work on BI. Quote
BrianGT Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks a ton to pvdb and Blakbird. Just bought the instructions and am ordering parts to build. Such a great lookinMG build! Quote
kandykop Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Currently on this stage. One question. Are front wheels lower than rear wheels horizontally? Is it normal? Quote
MRP_ Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 normally the wheels are even so the car is level but the front have a caster angle so as they are pushed up they go backwards to help at high speeds. also sorry if you already knew what a caster angle was Quote
kandykop Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Thanks for explanation, didn't know the real car uses caster angle. Quote
