danim Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) I got the temple of doom car chase seet back in november but last month I watched Temple of Doom and noticed that there were a few things that were wrong on the car and that I did not like so I built this at the front we have a licence plate and fog lights that have been added as well as the headlights been changed from round lights to square lights the bonnet has grown slightly which ment that I needed to add another cylinder to the engine more detail of the engine as well as the back and the roof at the back we have another licence plate at the left hand side as on the real car as well as the new wheel arches a better view of the rear another view of the rear and the boot which can now hold two suitcases and a photo of the real car another photo Please tell me what you think Edited February 6, 2010 by danim Quote
CMP Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Nice! I disassembled mine and rebuilt them, but they look totally different. This one is a great mod, hated that cloth roof. Quote
legoindy01 Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 This is a great improvment to the original. Quote
Big Cam Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I like the changes, not sure if I like it more than the original though Nice work though. Quote
Legostein Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Hello! No doubt, this car looks nice. However, I would appreciate a reference image of the original and/or some words on what you did modify. It's always hard to determine the changes when you're not familiar with the set or have the set number handy. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
danim Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) OK the first post has been edited thanks for the comments and I am glad you like it Edited February 6, 2010 by danim Quote
Blackheart Brit Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Yeah the cloth roof was a little iffy, nice mod. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Nice and interesting MOD's you have done 'Danim', were you aiming to create different vehicle to the one that was in the movie. The movie car had round headlights and I feel looks more like it's era. I believe square or rectangle headlights came out in the mid-1950's. Anyway nice work and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
danim Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 thanks for the comments one of the reasons that I done these mods is because when I was building the set when I first got it I accedently ripped the roof so it never looked right I decided on the square headlights because I felt they looked better on the car rather than round ones Quote
