MOC - The vehicles of my town.

Thanks for the comments guys! My brother has been tinkering with that Smart car since I got it for him for Christmas. I introduced him to this site and he's already picked up a few ideas for it and modded it further, I'll snap a pic later.

Luke, I'm really glad you like the Stallion. Normally I'm endlessly tinkering with cars, but these and the Interceptor I feel I pretty much got right the first time. Like you said, I think it could easily be an official car, but the mini-muscle car look makes it stand out. It's basically the same size as the Smart, the over hangs are a little longer because it's built like the Interceptor. I always viewed it as a sort of modular automotive construction and I can't imagine why TLG didn't use more of it.

The Python is my halo car, my baby haha. Those white wheels I got from the City Garage really top it off. I may do a roadster version of it, maybe in a white and blue color combo. I did a classic Python, it's in the background of some of those pictures, I don't know why I didn't snap one of it. That one is like a targa top though.

The Seagrave I've redone too, I'll take a new picture of that.

The torso is from that same Spiderman set, 4850. That has to have been one of my favorite sets ever because of those two cars. I recently rebuilt the tan car from it as well. That one has a printed 2x1 tile with a Pontiac grille. I believe Uncle Ben drove a Grand Am in that movie, so that was a nice touch. I agree about the torso too, the dark blue looks really good.

Here's a look at the construction of the Python.

The Python coupe and new Python roadster

The first generation of Bolt Python

The updated Seagrave

and I updated this as well

Here is the tan car from 4850

This is a small sports car I made to match it's driver

The Octan COEs

A small, green British convertible

This was a taxi polybag we picked up at the New York City Toys R Us. My brother and I modded them to fit a minifig

At my little brother's request, his MOD of the Smart car

And finally the Bolt Stinger, featuring a "custom" chassis. Some may call it cheating or blasphemy but I have a bunch of these chassis and this one was damaged already, so I hacked 2 studs off the length as you will see

Here you'll see the modification to the chassis, I wanted to create another size of the chassis without that front overhang, like the 10-long one of the Python/Interceptor and the 7-long one of the Smart/Stallion.

and here I wanted to illustrate what I call modular automotive construction.

Thank you LT, I prefer the look of these to what TLG is producing these days.

Could a moderator please index these?
