Delorean DMC-12 (2015 Jan) adapted version

This MOC was created in a different place than usual. Instead of my playing room this model was literaly built on my own bed. My strategy to build lego cars is to start of with its base, and start building ´up` until you only have to add the big covering plates on the roof and front or some last details. As I did it in a big scale I had enough space to do functioning doors and an opening at the back.
Now, a problem with the car is that in my range of bricks, I didn´t find the correct sized wheels for it so since then it was maintained in the same state until eventually it was destroyed.
Creativity is certainly essential but internet also helped me with this vehicle-lots of learnt techniques were used here.

POLICE 4x4 (2016)

front view

 When I am in the mood of playing around with my lego I normaly build minifigure sized vehicles to use in a game. It is just a police suv because the only piece I had was this one (in the picture) with a sticker saying police but this model could be a Land Rover Discovery, a Land Rover Sport or probably a Volvo XC90. Inside the space is for one minifigure though it has a kind of storage place where you can fit a suit case or a weapon. Unfortunately I couldn´t find a totally transparent front window so I had to put a blue one.
In these pictures the driver is actually a Star Wars Naboo starfighter pilot but I thought it would look cool with this particular figure.

Even having these nice suv effects this MOC uses  most of the same structure and techniques or maybe it simply has other details such as the engine-easy but very impactful to the design.


Down in the last picture you can see the base of the car. This is different to the normal structure but also very simple and efficient.

AUDI supercar (September 2013)

Two months before I built "My MUM´s car" (a creation that you will find further in my blog) I built this modern AUDI. Looking at the techniques used in this model makes me think it was my dad who did it for example, the front lights were built horizontaly, a feature that I probably didn´t use at the time. But surprisingly it was me, the creator.
 A major advantage of this MOC is that it is minifigure size (kind of) and has opening doors and other functioning parts.
The front clearly looks like an AUDI though I doubt other bits didn´t look as good.

DOORS:
You can also spot that the doors are very simple, and fortunately look well with the model. Perhaps because the rest of the car is simple too.
Summing things up, I think that the simplicity and quality that was achieved in this model is in my "MOC top 3".

My MUM´s car (December 2013)

In 2013, the passion for lego gave me the inspiration to  do a birthday present to my mum made out of lego!
I think that finally I did add wheels on, though in this particular photo (the 2nd picture) it doesn´t. I believe that in those ages, I was very focused on getting the interior of the car right. But for the age I had ( 8) I´d say I did a good job on the outside too.

                                                               

On the first photo you can see the version of my ´lego mum´ and the car with wheels.

On the first picture I´ve also added a couple of extras. I guess it was suposed to be an AUDI of some kind.

Modern supercar Aston Martin (November 2015)

 FRONT VIEW

To create this sports car, I used a variety of different techniques. Though what was really very helpful was that I used the base and other ideas that also appear in the creator speedster. I don´t have the set but I went on internet to check the instructins out. As the title says, this is an Aston Martin. Even though the headlights aren´t the same I just decided to do a different version than normal Aston Martins. The same with the exhaust tubes, I made it seem faster with six!

BACK VIEW  

One of the issues is that minifigures don´t fit in terms of  hight. For this reason this car would be in the theme of design more than to play with. But I believe the car has many benefits too.

holiday version JEEP willys (colaboration of my dad)

 My dad has also done a "war" version but I decided to create a modern jeep style. For that reason I added a type of fence piece and a skateboard in the back. The front is simple and really looks like a jeep willys. Sadly we didn´t have the correct wheels and we used thicker ones.

lego sports car (October 2015)

The car is about 19 cm long and 8 cm wide. It has a v8 engine and it took me 1 or 2 hours to build. For sports cars a good trick to do the front window is to actually adjust ( in this case a 3by1 flat) the brick like real sports cars. In the seats you could even try to add patterns with 1by1 tiles.
