Posted July 21, 20177 yr Hey fellow LEGO fans, may I present to you my latest creation! As the title says, this is a (fantasy / my own interpretation) version of a Group-6 race car from the mid to late 70's. I had a ton of fun building it as I never used so many smooth round bricks in a single model before. It consist of approx 760 parts, it has functional steering, its low-drag aerodynamic design is very realistic, it has a removable rear bodywork and a fully modeled cockpit. I hope you like it!

July 21, 20177 yr Looks really cool. Wonderfully nicely curved, clean and neat build - it just looks so right The engine looks very good as well. Simple but perfectly catching the look. Great job! P.S. I just saw this is your first post. Welcome to Eurobricks. Quite a way to introduce oneself! Edited July 21, 20177 yr by Littleworlds

I have lots of experience with SNOT but when I designed this car I simply did not encounter a situation that demanded extensive use of ''advanced'' building techniques. I hope this is not a drawback , I like to think that some models can be rather simple yet at the same time attractive. Like some people. Edited July 21, 20177 yr by GiantAmbushBeetle

If you can make it look good with basic building technique, there is no need to over-engineer it Just like there are still pretty conventional creator sets around, that still look completely fine as they are.
July 22, 20177 yr This is great! Fits the spirit of what you were going for and the final result is the right kind of curvy, which we all know can be tough. Nice work.

August 4, 20177 yr Beautiful shaping and a(nother) great build. It's very tidy and looks quite solid, yet has very nice flowing curves. That rear structure transitioning from brick-built to Technic system beams is a good trick.
