cati Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Dear all, While awaiting Messrs DeAgostini to finish with deliveries of my porsche and absorbing all of Roy's Porsche building tips on their forum I thought i would give this a go.. It is made by Xing Bao, a chinese company that makes Lego copies. This design is by an italian gent who goes by the handle of RoscoePC..... followers of Daisy, Bo and Luke will get it. When not obsessed by Dodge Bothering he is an exceptional designer of large scale Lego Formula 1 cars.... You name it he has a lego version of the most icon cars of the past twenty years.. for lego they are pretty details with the occasional liberty taken in the name of blockiness My nearest and dearest sorted out delivery of this Ferrari and the Dan Gurney - Eagle Weslake for my recent birthday. The cars are huge and both came for a very reasonable 110 pounds delivered to my door from china. So on with some build pics The start. the rear suspension and engine sump with the seperentine exhausts Typical lego crank, but an atypical flat 12 boxer config The flat twelve cylinder complete The gear box and open diff attached Front end coming together The fruit of an evenings labour front and rear joined with the floor pan starting to come together Edited August 11, 2018 by cati 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoly Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 looks good, but i would be careful to make sure you don't post this on any Lego forums. it's not worth the hassle you will get from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cati Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 So all nearly finished - second one I have built first was the Gurney Eagle Weslake v12 .. here they are side by side with an iPhone 6 for scale.. the Ferrari is going to get proper decals rather than the rubbish supplied 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
