Dazzzy Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Here's my most recent MOC. It was inspired by the pink and white car in the Diner set. I know the metalised parts don't exist but I think it would look okay if those parts were white instead. Here's a couple of pics with it in it's current state. I think I prefer it without the wheel-arch pieces TBH, though as a result it loses the wing mirrors and side detail, but I really do think I prefer it that way. Also adjusted some pieces so it now can seat 2 occupants (albeit with one of their arms in the air). Edited December 20, 2018 by Dazzzy Added images Quote
fordtruckin Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 I love these! Great job getting in so many details. The boomerang piece works great on the cars! Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 That turquoise one would be amazing to see "fleshed out" if the bricks were available. Quote
AntiZombie Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 The cars look fantastic! Does such a curved windshield exist? Quote
broomhandle Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Quote I like them. and yes the windscreen is here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=62360&name=Windscreen 3 x 6 x 1 Curved&category=[Windscreen]#T=S&C=12&O={"color":"12","iconly":0} Quote
paupadros Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Amazing models! I personally prefer them with the fenders and mirror, but having two passengers is also nice. I would be great if you could find a balance! Quote
MTBingNinja Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Outstanding, love the smoothness of the vehicle. So many details Quote

Agent 86 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Wow. That's really beautifully designed and realised in brick form. Well done! Quote
ncx Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Well done! Reminds me of the old 57' Chevy Convertibles that I saw growing up still being used in some places. Quote

The boomerang piece works great on the cars! Thanks fordtruckin! Glad you like the usage of the boomerang piece. It did have a 1X1 flat circle tile there to begin with, but then I remembered seeing the boomerang in the parts list.

Yeah it's indeed a shame that the parts are limited in the turquoise colour. Really hope in the future Lego expands on the turquoise parts.

I suppose it does look a bit more complete with them. Will have to go over the model and see whether I can make a revision or two.

Would love to get it a bit smoother at the front really, but I'm pleased with the details. On 12/21/2018 at 12:43 AM, Agent 86 said: Wow.

It only exists in digital form at the moment but I hope to build a model of it in real brick, in the new year. 8 hours ago, ncx said: Well done! Reminds me of the old 57' Chevy Convertibles that I saw growing up still being used in some places. Thank you ncx! I looked at the 57 T-Bird as a source of inspiration, but there's definitely a hint of Chevy in there too. Hopefully it passes off nicely as a kind of generic convertible of that period. Quote
Dazzzy Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 Decided to change the title up top, so I can add more vehicles but still keep it in one place. My interpretation of some soap-box racers. Quote
