Snojd Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 This is my first try at making a tread and posting pictures, so I hope I do it right. It all started with me making a very oldschool 2015 Sauber car out of ancient lego I found in a tray in the basement. 20190310_161317 by Martin Hansen, on Flickr Later lego started making real versions of F1 cars and I remade my 2015 Sauber. 20190310_161340 by Martin Hansen, on Flickr 20190310_161434 by Martin Hansen, on Flickr Then during the 2018 season I started making all of the teams cars and I finally finished the project, right in time for the 2019 season to begin next week The cars were made with parts available to me and might not be the perfect match, but they are good enough for me. All 10 cars 20190310_161801 by Martin Hansen, on Flickr Mecedes. I made some changes mainly removing some green, which I feel are not "of the right shade" url=https://flic.kr/p/24vFQut][/url]20190310_161821 by Martin Hansen, on Flickr 20190310_161842 by Martin Hansen, on Flickr Ferrari.

I hope you will enjoy them. Quote
jpx Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Very nice cars, could recognise most of the teams right away! If you have Netflix, there is a great show about the 2018 season! Quote
Snojd Posted March 11, 2019 Author Posted March 11, 2019 Thank you I will check out the Netflix show for sure Quote
adwind Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Hey, pretty cool! Even not being F1 fun - I love it! It's amazing how much better your models became since your first try! Quote
Retro Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Absolutely love this. Some of the most evocative memories of my childhood are the colour schemes of F1 cars. Perhaps you could do the 1980s next! A Benetton, a Brabham... Quote

I'm not sure I have that many colors to pull of a 80's Benetton I have actually made 3 more cars but they will be posted in the licensed section shortly (Lexcorp F1 team, Stark industries F1 team and Wayne Industies F1 team). But a classic series might be fun. I was thinking of making Sennas Marlboro McLaren but was also thinking of doing a classic space blue and gray one Quote
paupadros Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Really good! I'm surprised how the Force India (or Racing Point... whatever it's called now) and McLaren lend themselves so well to Lego form. The only single thing I would point out is, I think that the Mercedes would be more accurate if built with Teal instead of Dark Green, as the official one was that colour as Teal hadn't yet made a comeback then. Super job! Plus, F1 is back again! Quote
bricksboy Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Huge improvement after 4 years :D. Look forward to seeing what will be after next 4 year if you rebuild once again :P Quote
carebear Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 They Look Great! my favorite is the Pink one! Greetings! Quote

Super job! Plus, F1 is back again! Thank you! Funny you should mention those two cars, they were the ones giving me the biggest headache The McLaren one made me buy a second box of the Milano and a very obscure polybag from the arctic explorer line to be able to make, and the racing india....force point...pink one! forced me to order from bricks and peaces so I could finaly make it. It arrived just a week before the premiere of the new season, lucky me! On 3/16/2019 at 11:18 PM, bricksboy said: Huge improvement after 4 years :D.

I'm glad you like it Quote
2g_bricks Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Nice cars. I love them all. I am now building the whole 2020 f1 grid and I am still not believing that I could build the Racing Point without to order any piece! Greetings. Quote
