Rishab N Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Really looking forward to building this car. It'll look good next to my Vampire GT. The parts don't look too hard to get. Any that we should watch out for? Edited August 30, 2014 by Rishab N Quote
Paul Boratko Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 I can confirm that it is really fun to build this new supercar! When I look at the video it might be an improvement to motorize the door mechanisms... And Paul, congratulations with the acknowledgement of being a Top Designer by Rebrickable ;-) http://rebrickable.com/designers It is possible, but I prefer the manual mechanism.. Eric built his model and said that he couldn't stop playing with the doors... Someone recently built a Vamp GT and motorized the whole thing including the doors... Quote
Balrog Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I ordered everything needed yesterday. But again ... flex axle availability is ridiculous Oh well ... I already have an idea for that Quote

Balrog Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Do share those white flex axles are a tough find There are some available on Bricklink, but prices are ridiculous. Quote
jantjeuh Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Well, they're rare and highly wanted. You don't have a copy of 8461? Shame on you Edited August 31, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote
Balrog Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Well, they're rare and highly wanted. You don't have a copy of 8461? Shame on you I tried to get one last year, but then got 8458 and 8466 and therefore abandonded the thought of getting it. Quote
Meatman Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Just got the instructions, and scanned through the pages, they look great. Lot of cool new ideas. The steering arms for the doors is especially brilliant. Can't wait to start building this, most likely will do it in red due to the flex axles being out of my price range. Video looked great on the pool table! Nice masse' shot at the end. Is that your wife in it? Quote

I don't play pool as much as I used to and was a little rusty.. It actually took me 3 or 4 attempts to make that last curved shot.... Since we were fllming on a pool table, it only seemed fitting to pocket some balls with the models on the table... Yes, that is my wife... She has straightened her naturally curly hair since the last time you seen her, but it is the same woman and the operator of Panda's Technic Palace.... My man Gábor Révai has some new Titanium chromed wheels in stock if anyone is looking to enhance any of their vehicles... They are the same color as the ones on the white Phantasm TT on the first page of this thread... Edited September 1, 2014 by Paul Boratko Quote

2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Well done again, what else could we expect!!! :-) Quote
nerdsforprez Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks for sharing Paul. Always love your stuff. Built me a Vampire GT last year..... will probably build this one some time as well. Quote
barman Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Great looking supercar. I already saw it in the video for testing the SmartBrick. Very nice lines and shape. The white color works very good with this model to give it that extra ' concept' look. The door mechanism is a nice extra function and the movement is very interesting. Quote
Meatman Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Yes, that is my wife... She has straightened her naturally curly hair since the last time you seen her, but it is the same woman and the operator of Panda's Technic Palace.... Ah ok. I thought maybe you got a new girlfriend. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 Ah ok. I thought maybe you got a new girlfriend. I have to admit, for the first month I felt like I had a new wife... Quote
Meatman Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I finished up the entire chassis last night. Going to start on the body components tonight, but I am still waiting on 2 orders from bricklink. You really did a spectacular job with this. The suspension and steering are perfectly executed and work very smooth. Can't say for sure just yet, but so far I think this may have your Vampire GT beat in terms of build quality. Quote

MrTekneex Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 After one and half month just for the waiting of all parts needed, I've finally finished this beauty! The building experience is very intensive and not annoying, the technical solutions are superlative (like the differentials and the opening doors), the construction is very sturdy and...It's soooo fascinating to display on a shelf!!!(in future will be a showcase ) Thanks Paul for creating this masterpiece! Keep it up! Quote
Meatman Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I have completed my red version of this fantastic model and my only gripe is one that I also have with many other builder's MOCs as well as official Lego models and that is that the mirrors even though they use friction pins can become misaligned too easy. As seen in your picture. Quote
Rishab N Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Just bought the instructions I went over them in painstakingly detail to see the complexity of the model. Now I just have to wait till the holidays to build it Quote
Paul Boratko Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 I have completed my red version of this fantastic model and my only gripe is one that I also have with many other builder's MOCs as well as official Lego models and that is that the mirrors even though they use friction pins can become misaligned too easy. As seen in your picture. My original mirrors were fixed, but I wanted something smoother and cooler looking.. It does suck that they can pivot, but I'll take that along with the nicer look... Quote
Paul Boratko Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Good news coming for anyone that wants to build this model in white... A very rare white part is not so rare anymore... Edited November 14, 2014 by Paul Boratko Quote
PhyBuilder Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 White softaxles under the front "hood" of 42039. Quote
