Cinderella's Royal Roadster

[Laura Beinbrech]

I'm not entirely sure if this belongs here or in the Town section, but here goes:

I knew from the moment that I first saw the carriage set, I just HAD to make something cool with those fancy golden wheels. What came to my mind after a few days of thinking on it was a Rolls-Royce/Dusenberg-styled Royal Roadster:

A modern Princess needs a car, and one that can get her where she's going in STYLE!

Those Brickforge printed shields sure came in handy, didn't they? ;)

(Note: I couldn't find the license plate tile I could have SWORE I had, so I decided to use one of the money tiles, since it looks kinda like some of the classic car license plates I've seen in different places)

Interior view showing the instrument panel. I couldn't fit in a floor shifter, so I'm just going to say that the gearshift lever is on the steering column, like most old-school cars. ;)

Another interior shot, taken from the front to show the plush, pink interior. :D

Pic of Laura, my Friends sig fig & Cinderella standing beside the car. I think the color scheme worked out pretty well, especially considering how poorly things were going early on in the build process...

Finally, the first annual Friends Road Rally. Our contestants this year are Laura & Cinderella in her Royal Roadster, Jane & Stephanie in Stephanie's Cool Convertible and finally, Olivia in her glorified ATV, er, I mean Dune Buggy. :D

Hope you guys like the build.

Very nice! It looks just like Cinderella's carriage updated. But don't you think Cindy is showing off a little with a $100 bill for a license plate?

That is neat!

Thanks guys! It was a bit of a challenge, considering how few parts I had in the light blue colors....

But don't you think Cindy is showing off a little with a $100 bill for a license plate?

I like to think of it as the ULTIMATE vanity plate.

Uh, the theme is a licensed one, its just that you're sticking to the theme, or you're just using the materials for an original project. To me yours might be similar with Oky's Racing Cars even though they didn't actually appear in the stories.

It's a pretty decent adaption and perhaps a good modern British royalty car (feels like the Queen from Cars).

Well, the Rolls Royce & Bentleys used by the Royal Family were where I got some of my inspiration from.
