Optimax X Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Well after seeing this set in my shop at home magazine that dropped onto my mat one morning, and my mum dissmissing me from getting it because of the price and size of the set (she is very picky like that) So, after getting inspiration from the picture, my knowlage of racing, and some good pictures from internet, i made my own! As you would have seen, in my previous garage, i used my massive grey base plate, but after starting on my ferrari garage on the giant base plat, i realised i had not got enough bricks. So i changed my plan to 2 traditional green base plates and joined them together in the middle. Also, i did it in the true ferrari colours, red and white, which lego (shame on you!) didn't do. Oh, and before you say anything, the cars are hotwheels not matchbox. I had the comment "use proper lego cars instead of matchbox" I have made a fleet of tiny F1 cars (which you can see in my gallery, and i have made more since then) but none of them resemble ferrari, so i didn't bother with that. Okay, without futher ado, here is the gallery: clicky! I tried to make a HQ on top on the garage, but i did not look right, so i did not bother. Please comment, i would like to improve it and add futher things, but i can't if people don't give me suggestions. Quote
Brainbox Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Also, i did it in the true ferrari colours, red and white, which lego (shame on you!) didn't do. Why, what did Lego do? Anyway, I quite like the simplicity of it all. Not too overcomplicated. Might I suggest though that you rebuild it in scale with the cars. You don't have to of course, but the figs look really big next to the cars. Quote
zeki Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I agree with Brainbox. Cars look kinda small. You should improve the scale of all of it and it will look great. If you can't afford Lego cars maybe buy some larger scaled F1 cars (you can get them in all Team's colors.) Quote
