January 22, 201114 yr Many many many thanks for the instructions Therion! I was really confused with all these CAD and LDview programms. Does anybody know how many pieces are used for this set? It's about 2500 pieces the two sets combined. It would be awesome to build a 2500 pieces Technic set! I took a quick look in the instructions and it seems to be a very challenging build.
January 22, 201114 yr Im disassembling my 8466 already! And hopefully my 8458 will arive today. thx for instructions
February 20, 201213 yr Author [bUMP] For those who missed NK's Supercar ("An AWD double wishbone suspension convertible supercar with special doors Sets used - 1 x 8458 Silver Champion and 1x 8466 Offroader"), I uploaded a copy of the 35.8-MB PDF Building Instructions onto SkyDrive (since the Rapidshare link above is no good anymore, and MegaUpload is dead). Edited February 20, 201213 yr by DLuders
February 21, 201213 yr I almost finished an updated version of the instructions. Some parts in the current instructions are a bit too hard to follow... Probably by the end of this week I'll post a link to the new version.
February 21, 201213 yr Since I got 8458 in very good condition for a descent prize yesterday at ebay, I´m looking forward to build Nathanaels Supercar. The only thing missing is 8466 , I will hopefully get one by the end of march, really have to spare some money for it ´cause 8466 is ruinously expensive. But isn´t there another Supercar which one can build only from parts of the 8458? fitzi

February 21, 201213 yr Author I wonder how Nathanael Kuipers was able to post (and retain) a PDF on his Brickshelf gallery. I thought Brickshelf stopped hosting PDFs ~3 years ago; it would be great if they are allowing them again since they upgraded their server. Does anybody know for sure?

I thought Brickshelf stopped hosting PDFs ~3 years ago; it would be great if they are allowing them again since they upgraded their server. Does anybody know for sure? I have one too. It seems that PDFs which were already there were "grandfathered" and allowed to remain when the new rule was instituted. No new PDFs can be posted now, but the old ones are still there.
February 24, 201213 yr Updated manual is available at depositfiles (35mb download) If you got stuck using the old manual, you may want to check this one out If anyone is interested, I might do the GT-car next... Edited February 24, 201213 yr by Therion
February 24, 201213 yr If anyone is interested, I might do the GT-car next... I am certainly interested. I did quite a bit of cleanup work on the GT Car CAD file because it was not complete. You are welcome to use my file if you like. It still needs a bit of work.

March 29, 201212 yr Instructions are ready! I must say it was a real challenge You can download them here (63mb) I've made a few changes to Nathanaels original GT-Car, but nothing major. It's still 99% original, and still contains only parts from sets 8458 and 8466. I've used a few green panels, added lower sideskirts, and the front hood is a little different. Happy building!
March 29, 201212 yr Thanks for the updated instructions. Now to find a place to print them out affordably. I've been sitting on 8458 and 8466 for a long time and finally this weekend, I gave 8458-1 to my nephew to build first. So what order to do these models in? Does this look about right? 8458 Silver Champion - Model 1 8458 Silver Champion - Model 3 by Nathanel Kuipers 8466 4x4 Off-Roader - official model 8458+8466 NK's Ninja Convertible 8458+8466 GT Car
March 29, 201212 yr 8458 Silver Champion - Model 1 8458 Silver Champion - Model 3 by Nathanel Kuipers 8466 4x4 Off-Roader - official model 8458+8466 NK's Ninja Convertible 8458+8466 GT Car I'd switch the order of the last two. The "Ninja" or "supercar" is the most advanced (more than the GT car) and should be done last. That's the one I kept assembled.
March 29, 201212 yr Thanks, Blakbird. I was just going on instruction file size as I hadn't looked at the features of the Ninja Convertible which I have now over at MOCPages. And yes, that's probably the model that I want to end up with in the end, as well. Now to cost out printing out those manuals. yeah... go green, build it off the screen....
March 30, 201212 yr perfect! My models are apart now waiting for a move. Now I can build this without having to disassemble the originals. Steve
April 1, 201212 yr Here's a new link to the GT-car instructions (v2). Corrected a few minor mistakes, nothing major. This will be the final version.
March 21, 201410 yr Where can I get a first version building instruction for nathanael's GT car. When I click on the "brickshelf" MPD file all I get is text, no graphics. From what I read about N Kuipers, I need to build his designs if I want to learn.
