[MOC] Lancia Stratos 1:8 Scale

[JamesJT]

Here is my first supercar MOC, a 1:8 scale model of the famous Lancia Stratos rally car.

It comes in two flavors; Alitalia (tutti fruitti) livery and (for those willing to part-out 8x 42045) the +1 Racing version entered in the Elba rally of 1977.

It features:

Opening doors and front and rear clamshells

4 wheel independent suspension (which is very similar to 42039).

HOG steering that is removable and connected to the wheel in the cockpit (see youtube clip)

Pop-up headlights and removable auxiliary Lamps.

A 4-Speed gearbox that sits under the transverse V6 and has a remote linkage to the gear stick in the cockpit.

Here is a flickr video of the linkage being tested.

and the gearbox working in the chassis.

Many more photos on my flickr page along with some pictures of a failed attempt at an all blue version (Blue Stratos).

Here is a video of the original 2 speed version.

The LDD file of this version now on rebrickable http://rebrickable.c...-lancia-stratos (Thank you Rishab N). A jpeg of the stickers is also available, just send me a PM with your email.

Both of these look fantastic - well done!

I think the green/white livery could be improved even further by putting white stickers over the green front wheel arches, but that's really a minor niggle. Excellent work.

Awesome use of panels.

Great job! Finally you´ve finished it, or should I say "them". I like especially the bodywork, front and rear view. The blue version with stickers with its row of headlights is a real cracker!

[Rishab N]

I love this car, and your representation of it is great. I especially like the blue version. Can you upload a parts list to Rebrickable?

My father brought me a model of the green Lancia Stratos from a business trip to Italy. I must have been 8, but ever sinceI have always had a weak spot for this car. I have followed your WIP with much interest, but the final result exceeds my initial expectations. My compliments!

What a beauty. Love the photo with the open clamshells.

[jensbrix]

This is astonishing, probably my favourite rally car of all time, and you've recreated every bit so beautifully :)

[bord4kop]

excellent!

Most beautiful rally car of all time!

Great design, looks really great, thumbs up!

After a long time we have another sports car MOC with blue as a main color - great job. And you captured the spirit of the car very well. What's even more interesting is that Lancia uses yellow/gold wheels - you don't see those used very often on Lego supercars/sports cars :)

I have been waiting for this model for a while and love the detail and lines you have done.

long live group B rally car's ..

[Lucio Switch]

Really beautiful, in both liveries!!

[Paul Boratko]

Awesome models James.. :thumbup:

[JJ2]

I really like both of them but I think the blue looks better.

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

These are very cool! :thumbup: For me personally the Blue one stands out more, but that is just a matter of taste...

Does the Blue one rely less on stickers, is that correct?

[agrof]

Indeed great, gratulation.

I prefer the blue one a bit better, pity, that a red version can't be built.

[scarface_le_fou]

impressive and very cool !

[sjakiepp]

One of my favourite cars. Stunning build! Well done!

[Robert Brick]

I'm loving it! Awsome use of panels!

[Nick Barrett]

Wow. Real beauties, both of them.

[JamesJT]

Thank you all for this amazing response, I though you would all have been bored with this after the 2 month WIP topic.

I can't get on rebrickable so Rishab N has kindly agreed to upload it for me. Shame though, my favorite part is the 4 speed gearbox and that is not in the LDD file. I will have to do an update.

[Rishab N]

The MOC is now on rebrickable

I think 42039 would provide a good base to build

Hi. Your cars are both amazing. When "she" run & win in the World Rally Championship I was a huge fan!

I'm not able to send you a MP at the moment, but I'm very interested about LDD ad stickers file. Any suggestion about how to get it?

[nantokuto]

Simply wonderfull!

I would like to have LDD and stickers file, but I'm in the same situation of Frank4bricks: i've an error when I try to use the messanger, I haven't the permission to use the messaging system.

Stick around the forum, add a few comments or post a MOC of your own, you'll soon be able to send me a PM for the sticker jpeg.
