Category: Commissioned models

Hi,

Here is my latest commissioned model, the Ferrari Testarossa.

This car has been a childhood memory for me. I remember seeing it for the first time and I was blown away by it. It is really special that I have had the chance to make one in LEGO. As usual I have tried to add as many authentic features as possible:

– Independent suspension on all wheels
– Steering with Ackerman geometry and working steeringwheel
– pop-up headlights with a
– 5+R manual gearbox
– Flat V12 fake engine
– openable hood, doors, trunk
– adjsutable seats
– detailed engine bay & interior (with working glovebox 😛 )

If you like what you see and want to commission a model yourself, please pop over and apply for your own commission.

Hi,

Here is my next exclusive commissioned model:

It is the Aston Martin DB9 Volante. The model is packed with features:

– Independent suspension on all wheels
– Steering with Ackerman geometry and caster angle
– A 5+R manual gearbox
– A V12 fake engine
– Adjustable seats
– Openable doors, hood and bonnet
– And a convertible roof

The roof mechanism is not automated like on my Ferrari 458 Spider, but it does fold itself in exactly the same way as the real car.

The doors use a special 4-link mechanism to make the door completely flush with the bodywork when the door is closed. I have made a small video in which I showcase the various functions.

Hi,

Here is my next commissioned model, the Ferrari 458 Spider:

It is a 1:10 scale replica with the following working functions:

• Steering with Ackerman geometry
• Independent suspension on all wheels
• A fake V8 engine
• A 4 speed sequential gearbox
• Openable doors, hood and trunk
• Convertible roof

It is a right hand drive model. I really enjoyed designing and building this model. The convertible roof was a particular difficult challenge, especially in combination with the gearbox and the engine that all had to fit in the space behind the seats.

I also made a small video to showcase the different functions. It can be found here.

Leg godt,

Hi,

It is time to present my next commissioned model. It is a 1:10 replica of the Mercedes-AMG GT R.

This time I also made a short video showcasing its functions.

This model features the following functions:

• independent suspension on all wheels
• steering with HoG and working steering wheel
• V8 fake engine
• working lights (with custom lighting bricks)
• opening doors and hood
• adjustable seats
• adjustable spoiler
• detailed interior and engine bay
• a 4D+N+R gearbox
• an active aerodynamic spoiler in the front which opens when 4th gear is engaged
• four wheel steering with speed (read gear) dependent behaviour:
  – in 1st gear the wheels steer against each other
  – in 2nd gear only the front wheels steer
  – in 3rd gear the rear wheels steer a bit with the front wheels
  – in 4th gear the rear wheels steer with the front wheels

This model was a real challenge in terms of packing all this functionality into it. It has over 2200 parts, despite being a 1:10 model. The mistress is of similar scale, but has only 1600 parts, whereas the 1:8 DB11 has ‘only’ 2700 parts. Still, I am very pleased with the end result. Especially the gear dependent four wheel steering setup works like a charm.

This is the first model that has custom stickers (not shown since my client wants to build the model himself so I didn’t apply them) and custom lighting. Here are some shots with the lights on:

The model was commissioned with an exclusivity clause, so there will be no instructions.
