Posted April 14, 201113 yr On his Flickr photostream, RoscoPC posted images of his Lego Technic racecar collection. Here are some of his finest creations: LEGO Lotus 43 BRM: LEGO Lotus 79: LEGO Brabham BT46B: LEGO Ferrari 312T: LEGO Tyrrell P34: LEGO Lotus 49B: LEGO Brabham BT46B 2010: LEGO McLaren MP4-4 Work in Progress (WIP) -- "The McLaren MP4/4 was a highly successful Formula 1 car that competed in the 1988 Formula One season. It was designed by Gordon Murray, who based the design on his lowline Brabham BT55 car of 1986, and American engineer Steve Nichols. It is one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built, winning all but one race in the 1988 season."
April 15, 201113 yr What are those wheels he uses for frontwheels for Lotus cars, the ones that are equal to the official lego formula wheels only narrower. Rims i'm guessing are the same as those on the 8297? Right, but the tyre i'm not sure about. Edited April 15, 201113 yr by Ultimario
April 15, 201113 yr What are those wheels he uses for frontwheels for Lotus cars, the ones that are equal to the official lego formula wheels only narrower. It's the ones from 8041, isn't it?

April 17, 201113 yr Those appear to be x1825 tires from 8146 Nitro Muscle on custom chromed 44772 rims. that is correct, a shame they only appeared in the nitro muscle, i had to buy 2 sets to get 4 of them. they are great for this stuff :)
April 18, 201113 yr I love them, especially the Tyrell P34 one. When I was a kid I built a paper model of it.
April 19, 201113 yr Lovely collection of racecars, i always love how those old racing cars look. I really like the lotus. Edited April 19, 201113 yr by P4trickvH
April 19, 201113 yr You can find an extensive interview with Luca Roscini en Hispabrick Magazine 007 Rusconi is his name (typical lombard one). He said me last year he was going to create a 1:6 scaled Formula 1 racer, let's hope he make it soon!
April 25, 201113 yr WOW , WOW WOW! that lotus looks so good, you can hardly seen any open studs and stuff, especially on the body, these models are uncanny, i'm astounded for words and these models are a giant metaphor to lego , i really dont know why pepole think or say bad things about it Edited April 25, 201113 yr by SNIPE
April 25, 201113 yr He is the ITlug Ambassador,my Ambassador and he love the F1,but the Historic Car,because now:hmpf_bad: is not the same,to much rules,and no more mechanical experiment. Now i call,and i want to see what he say!!

Glad to hear that you like them: I should find some time to present them here in details, but in the latest months it's really hard to find time also to build Btw, there is an old article on LDraw about my design process, here: http://www.ldraw.org/Article535.html I'm preparing an updated version includind the latest cars and additional details, but let's say the basis are always the same. The upcoming McLaren is almost ready: enjoy the turbine on the exhaust pipes, the rear suspension and the rear diffuser fron this image PS: and yes, the front rims are always 44772
April 26, 201113 yr Has this one a working gearbox ? Come membro di ItLUG sono un fallimento, vero? No way! In order to have a diffuser under the rear suspension arms I had to squeeze and shrink everything in that area...
May 4, 201113 yr Did you color the front rims of the Lotus 43 and Lotus 79 yourself? If yes, what kind of paint did you use?
