Dennimator Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Edit by Hinckley: I changed all your pics to links because they are way too big to embed in a post. Please refer to the site guidelines for posting standards and our index of tutorials for tips on how to resize images and other helpful tips to help you learn good posting habits. Thanks. Hi! I´ve built some new car MOCs, so here they are! Sorry I haven´t resized the pics, but I forgot to do that, and uploading them to Brickshelf again would take over an hour(my computer is very slow when it comes to uploads). First we have a van: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_030.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_031.jpg Then we have a sports car: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_032.jpg Visit My Website And last, an old-fashioned bus(the dark bley pcs will be replaced with red ones): http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_034.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_035.jpg The roof hatch opens: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_036.jpg A pic with the door open: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_037.jpg The interior: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_038.jpg Looks like someone doesn´t like his job: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dennimat...dennis2_039.jpg Please tell me what you think!

samthelegoman1 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 I think brickshelf still needs to moderate your creations. They will be normal sized probably in a couple of hours. I will comment on your creations then! Quote

VBBN Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Well, EB auto-resizes the pics after a couple of seconds, so just be patient! It also takes up bandwitch and screws up some computers. Anyways, nice mocs. The doors are up a little to high on the van, but other than that, these look they would fit perfect in a town!

Hinckley Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Well, EB auto-resizes the pics after a couple of seconds, so just be patient! No. There are guidelines to which you need to stick to. You can't just rely on the auto re-size. Please learn how to resize your pics before posting them again. Thank you. Quote
Ralph_S Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 As you know, I'm a fan of five-wide vehicles which means that I am automatically biased in their favour. Building a decent looking minifig scale car can be very tricky. They're so small (certainly four or five-wide ones) that only a few misplaced elements can make the difference between something that looks good and something that looks a little clumsy. I like the bus, but I'd loose the opening roof window. IMO adding functionality is only good if it doesn't distract from the shape and the construction of this is a little bulky. I also think the bus has a few too many seemingly random transparent elements added here and there and I find them distracting. Finding the right balance between adding details and maintaining a nice and clean look can be very hard. I am assuming you don't have the panels that you used in white for the sides of the sportscar in blue as well, but the mix of blue and white makes it look a little messy. Unless you are really trying to go for a specific pattern such as a racing stripe, you probably shouldn't mix colours. If you look at the cars on my car carrier, for instance, you'll see that most of them are uniform in colour, with only a little stripe and a door handle or so in a different colour. You could loose the doors on the van and put those on the sports car instead. I think they'd look better on that. I like the piece you used for the folded down soft top, BTW. That's something I might want to copy. Using the windows you used on the van can be tricky. I've used them on my five-wide Range rover, but am a little unhappy with them on that as well. I suspect it would look nicer if you would use a similar window as the one you used for the sports car. Please don't get me wrong. I like these, but with a little more tweaking they could be better. Cheers, Ralph Quote
