Trucks look COOL - cheeky keeping the cars under wraps 'Allan' eh ?

I'm a conformist! !

Very nice! It seems like you got the overall shape pretty nicely, considering they are 4-wide. My favourite is the white and blue one

BTW, the car covers look really cool. Are they just packaging paper?

Just paper tissues from a tissue box

That looks like a Holden HSV GTO coupe

Yeah the blue and white one has nice colours to it.

Sssssshhhhh!!!! I know but i love the shape and colour. BTW I'm a Ford fan ( owned 3) not a Holden fan (owned 0)

Nice collection Allan I like all the little differences between them. The white one with blue stripes is instantly recognisable as an old GTHO, great work

Nice 4 wides 'Allensmith', but Falcons are very wide body cars, so 5 or 6 wide would have been better, but still I too like the blue and white - Allan Moffat driving it and yellow - red combo - Dick Johnson........yeah, I've watched V8 Supercars in the past.

I have decided to go with 4 wide cars and 6 wide trucks/buses to standardise my layout. It also makes them match LEGO's cars and trucks. All my 6 wide cars and 6 wide pick ups have been destroyed.

They look very good, I would also like to see them in 6 wide.

It will hurt your standardization in scaling, but they may look even better!

MOC update. Falcon GL now a pace car with orange lightbar. Stickers from 8121 Tiny Turbos Track Marshal

[prateek]

Nice! The TT pace car stickers work great here

[Redcross]

I agree if you are working with minifig and lego standard city 4 wide for cars are the way to go. great use of the stickers is there a raceway in the pipeline.

[Helmantel]

Nice work! Especially from the side, they look good and well proportioned.

If they were 5-wide, the proportions from the front and top would be better, but I realize that making 5 wide cars is easier said than done.....
