jniffen Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Heck, if I remember even the Lego's Mustang isn't cheap. How long did it take to build it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the cheapest thing, no. It was 1,471 pieces. I did it over the course of a few days a bit here and there - I viewed it as a quarantine activity when i didn't have anything else to do instead of sitting and doing it all at once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351cid Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Seriously...my brain picked up that the 67 was off a little bit...but didn't immediately pick up on it. Both cars are awesome. I've had this silly thought of trying to pick up a 69 fastback and mimmick my 13 with it. Alas; too many projects ahead of that for the number of years I have left.

SoonerLS Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That's a very well-staged picture. If it hadn't been for the swells in the pavement giving away the scale, it would've gotten me. Well done, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was, the pavement wasn't exactly flat, and the real car sat higher than the model from the angle I had to take it at. So i had to put something under the model to make it higher (so the wheels would sit evenly with the real thing), but then I needed some sort of "pavement" to hide it. Guess I could've just photoshopped it in instead, but didn't feel like it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 That’s pretty cool. I had the same idea as you. Figured some legos would pass the time. I was torn between the mustang, DB5, and the Charger. Ended up getting the charger since it was $50 cheaper, but I might snag the mustang too if this goes on for a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I almost got the Aston a while back, but decided not to. Obviously the Mustang won because I have one. I've been looking into the Lego Technic Defender as well. The Bugatti one they have is neat too with how much stuff it does (working W12, spoiler etc.), but I also don't think the body looks that great on it, whereas the boxy Defender works better with the legos. Haven't gotten any more yet, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
