The ambulance is an elongated version of the red van I made earlier. It has a siren and a blue light on top of the roof and a step board underneath the rear door.

I am thinking about making it broader as well and make openable front and rear doors for it, but we'll have to see what I've got time for before the missus and I travel for a local festival tomorrow.

The convertible version was made by chopping the top off the sedan version and adding a window frame to the windscreen and a folded up leather convertible roof.

I have changed the colour to yellow, and as tan was the closest colour next to yellow that the arched plates on the rear fender came in, I have made a tan stripe along the side of the car to tie in the tan section on the fenders. The convertible version features a brown leather interior and a folded brown leather soft-top roof.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated, and I try to respond to all of your comments.

My modification of a dump truck from 60467 set (orange tow truck). The steering assembly is inspired by and based on stevendejong's 6 studs wide virtual pivot steering mechanism.

He made a gigachad move by publishing his work absolutely for free and in easily understandable form (pictures, .io files) so I felt like I should share my take on his work just to show my gratitude. I'd never put so much effort in polishing this build (and all that comes after it) if I hadn't seen his CITY-compatible steering mechanism.

So I've made it only 2 technic pins tall (instead of 3 pins) + moved the steering shaft from the center so it fits perfectly into european cab-over trucks. The huge engine isn't necessary for the steering to work and you could easily fit the mechanism into the truck without any changes to the cab.

Unfortunately this mechanism is NOT compatible with original mudguards so i have no other choice but to damage them. Do not try this at home.

I've remade my recent project in red so that it's possible to build from pieces you can buy from Bricklink. I have fine tuned a lot of the details and made it even more streamlined.

I've also added a small engine underneath the bonnet. I couldn't fit much inside the engine bay due to the way the bonnet is constructed, but it's at least a small nod to how a 30's car's engine looks.

I'm planning on uploading the car to Bricklink when I've finished the interior. The interior is still a work in progress, but the exterior is now completely finished. I have played around with a van version as well, that you can see in the last pictures.

I honestly think the van version looks better than the sedan version, but that's my opinion.

Feel free to suggest alterations. All feedback is highly appreciated, and I try to reply to all the comments. The engine is sadly as large as it gets, though, due to space limitations. I would love to make it more like the real thing, but I can't make it any larger due to the bonnet. I might be able to squeeze in some more details when I get the chance to test build it out of real LEGO pieces, but for now, the engine is as good as it gets...

I built these out of Lego parts with a minimum of stickers for Bugatti logo and vents. They're 8w speed champion sized and part of my timeline project..

Found some instructions i made for a creator like set of 5 old fashioned cars, that i made when i was younger. If you want the files just dm me.

Model 2 and 3 look the same but one has a spare tire on the back the other not, same with model 4 and 5.

A quick Bricklink Studio project after a long break. Hope you like it! The "Scratches" setting in the renderer was set way too high when I rendered the pictures, so sorry about the beat-up look.

I recently built a camaro, and I'm looking for a set I could change into another modern supercar. I'd like something with a lot of parts and parts versatility but I'm not sure what to go for. I'm also looking for something to make into a corvette c7! Any advice is appreciated 😁

this my first lego car from scratch and im realy happy with how it turned out

Orange mercedes is a cada set the rest is lego.

One of those huge, unmistakably '90s American cars that I really wanted to recreate in LEGO. I tried to capture the long, boxy proportions, distinctive front end and the massive presence of the original.

1600+ pieces, with working steering, opening doors, hood and trunk, plus a detailed engine and interior.

Hope you like it!

Version 2 of my heavily modded #11375 Icons Ferrari F2004 is out now.

I also built it myself for the very first time, this also means the instructions and stability of the model have been verified.

You can find the free instructions here: LEGO MOC-256015 F2004 Enhanced V2 by TheDeeGee | Rebrickable - Build with LEGO

Be aware that you need a LOT of additional pieces to make it look like this.

gotta wake up early tmrw but idgaf
