DLuders Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 On his Flickr photoset, Latvian AFOL Rolic posted 19 pictures of his Lego SAAB 9-5 Wagon. He wrote, "This is custom made LEGO SAAB 9-5 Wagon model....I am a fan of SAABs. I drive one currently (9000 CS) and I wish my next car to be a SAAB too.. particulary this one - a 9-5 Wagon. I love the quality of Swedish cars, I love the look of this car and I really like that it is roomy, as I have a growing family.... "This model was very tricky to build. It's body is 23 studs wide, but the nose is 22-21 studs wide. It also has half-stud mudguards. So building in odd numbers gives you the whole new set of problems. Also that nose angling was a tricky thing to do, but that was necessary to achieve the proper look. Other challenge was steering! There are no LEGO parts in this steering arm that is originally meant for steering cars. All is done with help of axles, pins, Technic connectors and liftarms. But by using all this, the wheel doesn't hit the arch; however the gap between the wheel and arch isn't that big." The car has folding rear seats, various trunk compartments, and a detailed engine bay. Quote
dbostream Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Amazing, great details and I love the engine. Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Very good work, and something else then a Ferrari for a change Quote
Paul Boratko Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I would like to congratulate Rolic on the amazing work that he has done with this model... It really is spectacular! I also looked through the pictures that he has on his Flickr account and I must say, that is some outstanding work that he has done.... Edited May 29, 2011 by Paul Boratko Quote
Milan Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Really something special! There are only a few of the models like this one, and every one of them is a masterpiece. Great in every aspect, and I can just imagine how much effort gone into this. Well done! I remember El Caracho's BMW 635 CSi to be similar, but not so good as this one. Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 This is so much fun! This saab is not only a unique model, it has great looks and buildingtechniques! Quote
grohl Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful details and everything has its place and function. Quote
RohanBeckett Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 You look at a moc like this, and think 'how on earth do some(most!) of those parts hold together?!' There are sections of it that look very fragile.. I'm sure the creator has to be very careful, when handling it! Now... is it motorized? ;) RB Quote
Zerobricks Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Great model for displaying! You might just squeeze an PF motor in front! Quote
Konajra Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 What a great model. So recognizable. just a perfect MOC with very nice building technics. Quote
drakmin Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I like that you choose normal cars to build, not exotic supercars. Your Audi TT is also nice, even if it's not the most common car ;D Quote
