gnat_bricks Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Dear Everyone, I'm happy to present my newest MOC to you. I've built a Mustang GT500 a while ago in this size and now here is my Dodge Charger. I really like the size because it's big enough to make good details but don't need too much place on the shelf. :) I'm very happy with this model especially with the details of the drivetrain and my favourite simple features are the disc brakes. The model contains 956 pieces so it's a rigid construction. The building process starts with engine what is a standalone unit so culd be a display model without the rest of the car. :) I hope you like it all, Cheers 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr 12 Studs wide Charger MOC by Szunyogh Balázs, on Flickr Quote
Alex Ilea Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Superb build, it looks very accurate! Quote
Jurss Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 This is almost perfect. I like also exhausts in whole lenght. Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 What a beauty. Also those rim and tyre combo is really great! Quote
SaperPL Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Looks awesome. You should update the first photo in the topic to be showing the model without everything opened up, and maybe not that angled, and you might get it frontpaged because it's really good :) Quote

First i've made it with HOSE elements but they are just too rigid. 28 minutes ago, Zerobricks said: What a beauty. Also those rim and tyre combo is really great! Thank you. The wheel combo was not my Idea. I've seen this before on Instagram. But works pefectly with this car size. 24 minutes ago, SaperPL said: Looks awesome.

gyenesvi Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 That looks beautiful, very nice curves, well done! Great details and photos! Quote
Milan Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Well done. Frontpaged. (And placed one of the more striking images at the top, for the purposes of frontpaging) Quote
Pelzer117 Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Wow! One of my all time favourite cars in a totally interesting size. Beautiful! Quote
Thirdwigg Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Great job. I love the framing of the front grill with the light bluish grey panel parts. Quote

SaperPL Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Seems like the frontpage brought it to TLCB as well - congrats :) Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Totally cool! The detail of the brake discs and calipers is incredible! Quote

Michael217 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I would increase the back part by another spin, it is necessary to be more authentic) Quote
brickphisto Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 You really did a great job on this one, especially considering the small scale. Proportions look good. Just the rear looks a little short. I do not like the bars for the A-pillars although I am well aware of that there is no better solution at this scale. The same goes for the edgy sideline at the front and at the rear as well as for the doors not opening smoothly. But all in all I like your model even more than most of the official Creator Expert models (which on the other hand are larger and much sturdier than your model seems to be). Quote

I'have used the blueprints of the original car and also made some calculations in excel to get the correct dimensions for the ratio i have used. So the correct lenght could be half stud longer than the current solution. I've made the model 1 stud longer at first but it was looking wird to me. So tried it one stud shorter and i was liking this look a bit better. Parallel the thickness (i hope that's the right word) of the body is not perfect at the rear section and it makes it optically shorter also. So yeah it's not perfect... Maybe in bigger size it could be better. 4 hours ago, brickphisto said: You really did a great job on this one, especially considering the small scale. Proportions look good.

Yeah the bars for the A pillars maybe not the best solution but i didn't find any windscreen element in the LEGO palette what could represent the shape properly. The stability of the model is not an easy question as it's depending on our personal requirements. For me the roof is the only problematic point as there is no windscreen and i can not join the front side of the roof to anywhere. If you push it down then it will fall off. But I think the rest of the model is rigid enough. Edited October 21, 2023 by Milan Let's not quote images from the same page. Quote

I really liked how you mixed the technic and system parts. And of course i see the dimensions are correct. Awesome MOC! Ok will give an other chance to my Charger te get a bit longer rear end. :) LOL Edited October 22, 2023 by gnat_bricks Quote
