adello25 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 After purchasing the Ford Raptor set, I looked at it and thought it looked a little too small. I decided to extend the truck by a few studs. I also wanted to keep the rubber band suspension but the pins were too far apart so I decided to use one rubber band per wheel. I also gave the trunk a removable hard top. Here are some pictures. Also, I love the Audi R8 car and being a huge Iron Man fan I had to create the Audi R8 in a different color so I chose red. It is the same mode l and design as the official Lego set just a few less stickers... Quote
SirBlake Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Love it all! Raptor looks good extended and the bed cover works nicely. The R8 is especially cool because I've been considering doing one in street trim. I'd be fine with doing a street version in white, but the 2-white/2-black wheel arches are killin' me from a parts perspective. Quote
mnpumar Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Nice attention to detail! The raptor looks pretty close to the real thing Quote
Naptown11 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I really like your Raptor and R8 mods. My only suggestion would be to add bigger tires to the raptor since you've added length and in my opinion the original tires are just a tad to small for the truck overall, and I bought/built the model a week ago and love it but the tires will be getting upsized just a little. I think overall its an awesome design and I love the suspension especially. I also really like your tonneau cover. Quote
