Posted August 20, 20195 yr Hello everyone, I’m new to LEGO technic, just started building early this year. My first set was Porsche GT3 RS and I got hooked immediately. Today, I would like to share images of my very first MOC - 1:10 scaled Porsche 911S in the late 60s early 70s. I’m not yet familiar with gearbox or power functions so the technical aspect of this MOC is rather limiting. However, I’ve tried to make the shape as close to the real thing as possible. Hope you like it. Suggestions to improve it are welcome! 3BAFAACA-249F-45BC-9CE5-2AAA3F964455 by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr BB1D66DC-F53A-4043-8CB7-75B2CC569293 by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr F60B2C88-C6E2-453B-97B4-BD0D05A6573D by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr 18362AD6-958C-4E1C-8E62-935DB3D281FF by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr D262E23D-8ED5-46CF-B73C-622BAB65542D by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr 7F2832D6-E0D5-4B5E-8F20-093BC788D67D by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr 105170B6-7B4F-4EBD-AC8F-0952722147DD by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr E1FA7BBC-3A8F-4DB3-9C3B-7E86280721B2 by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr 77A019B7-4CC0-44E7-B80F-70A22DABD165 by Linh Nguyen, on Flickr - the car has independent suspension on all 4 wheels - a working steering wheel, no HOG but that may be added later on - a fake flat six air cooled engine, the “fan” spins as the engine pistons move - manually operated doors, boot, and engine cover - no gear box but a fake gear stick ( which can move up down or left right) is included - a small boot, able to fit a “bag” as shown - two toned simple interior with 2+2 seats, the front seats can be folded/adjustable, a rear view mirror is included as well And in case you are wondering, I did paint the mudguards from Porsche RSR set to be used in this MOC. The rest are standard LEGO parts, except for some strips of black vinyl tape I use as bumper strips to match the real car. Let me know what you think :)
August 20, 20195 yr Front and rear look good, but the side shot somehow felt off for me. The whole car seemed too short and too high. A calculation in Sariels model scaler with semi-accurate values told me the wheelbase is like 3 or 4 studs too short, and the roof like 2 or more studs too high. The way you used thse curved panels behind the rear wheels is really nice tho, looks really smooth
August 21, 20195 yr Welcome to Eurobricks . For your very first MOC, this is a fantastic attempt. I agree with @Gray Gear, some of the proportions are a little off but you did a great job for your first Technic MOC.

I agree with you, the car feels short and tall from the side, which really bugs me as well. I will look into extending the wheelbase when I have time, some compromises will need to be made tho, like the doors will not be as smooth (no other longer panels I believe) and so on. But I will try some other time. The sariel scaler is a fantastic tool, wish I knew abt it earlier. I will definitely use it for my next MOC 2 hours ago, MxWinters said: Welcome to Eurobricks .

Thank you for the encouragement! More MOCs to come :D

You might want to check this, but from what I could tell on first look you did not lose much lenght in the drivers cabin, butalso some in the length of the hood. 1 hour ago, linhhhinl said: The sariel scaler is a fantastic tool, wish I knew abt it earlier.

This Tool helped me sooo much on my Honda NSX, everybody should be using it if you were asking me Double check your Blueprint tho before you start building, loosing your blueprint half way into the build is like the worst thing ever. Finding good Blueprints is also a pain in the megablocks for some Cars.
August 21, 20195 yr Looks good, except as others already said, proportion are not really good, especially it seems too high.
August 23, 20195 yr Thanks for sharing your creation. I really like it. I like the overall shaping, and could only think the car might look better if you maintained the consistency of how you formed your fenders front and back. In the front you have used the fender panel from the rsr while in the back you used flex axles which imo gives the rear a slightly different look. Just my 2 cents but otherwise I think you did a great job.
August 25, 20195 yr Author Glad you like it! I did play around with using the fenders from porsche rsr set at the back but couldnt find a neat solution, it’s the part that connects the fender to the area near the door that’s tricky. I’ll probably give it another try when I have time. I have also extended the wheelbase by 2 studs and lowered the roof by 1 stud so the car feels less “tall” from the side. Still nt perfect but I guess it’s a good compromise as I don’t want to change the original side panels too much. What do you think?
