KimT Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 When LEGO released the first wave of Ferrari sets I hoped for other teams as well. Since this hasn't (and will never *n* ) happened, I devided to MOD the Ferrari into other team versions. As of now I've more or less finished the Renault version and is currently working on Honda, Super Aguri, Toro Rosso, RBR and Williams versions - perhaps I can get to do last years as well (Jaguar and some yellow coloured team I can't remember right now :-$ ) This is a few pics of the Renault (without stickers): SIDE VIEW LINED UP WITH THE FERRARI The main problem is that the large wedge brick is only available in yellow, black, brown, white and red (obviously) Enjoy and prosper KimT NB More pics can be found in my MOC folder on brickshelf when public, just follow links below Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Its Great Kim !!! I thought of doing something like that (starting with Renault of course hehe) but I never did it *wacko* I really like your Renault !! It looks really great !!! *y* *y* Continue other versions ;-) Drive On !! *yoda* Quote
SuvieD Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 When you get them all finished I think these will make a nice display. Have you considered making some extra modifications to the design. Maybe a slightly different front end or some flatter side areas? I like the blue and yellow but I look forward to a blue and white or a black one. *sweet* Quote

Also the aerodynamic top behind the driver's head is under reconstruction at this time. As for colours I'd love to do the silver arrow in black and silver or just in the promoted orange version that they changed before race 1 this year *wub* KimT Quote
KimT Posted May 23, 2006 Author Posted May 23, 2006 In the rear of the starting grid we find (as usual) Team Super Aguri driving an older model of the F1 racer. Bulkier, heavier and with a V10 restricted engine we meet the ever happy Frank. Notice the difference between the newer models and this one Now where is his partner Takumo "Kamikaze" Sato? KimT Quote
AdmMatthew Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 That Renault Car is great! I've also been working on some F1 Cars.... and the only one that's even remotely presentable is my BMW-Sauber Car (I got a BMW for my first car, so I made a BMW first) I'm really wondering how LEGO plans to continue marketing just Ferrari F1 Cars... it's getting rather old. anyway, here's a deep link: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mattcorp...MW-Sauber/1.jpg And here's the gallery when public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=184992 If anyone would like the stickers they can be found here: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mattcorp...-bmw-decals.jpg Quote
natelite Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 if the part doesnt have the color you need, consider painting over it. best done over white bricks. ;-) it's just like tamika modeling! :-D Quote
bricked one Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 The color scheme is much better than TLG's F1 Quote
