Ever since winning a pen at Brickswest two years ago, I’ve wanted to use the
round segments in a MOC. Last semester, I finally got around to Brasso-ing off
the letters. I also found a bunch of pictures of BMWs, the perfect car for a
bunch of round headlights. This past week, I finally had enough free time to
sit down and build. Here’s the result:
The car is a 1995-1997 BMW E34 series M5. The fenders are 14 studs wide, while
most of the rest of the body is 13 studs. The scale is approximately 1:18 in
length and height. A little bit of extra width helps the car look powerful. I
used a bunch of offsets to get the front to taper a bit.
Below are links for the wheel construction and the 0.7 stud offset used along
the sides at the bottom to round it off a bit.
Please let me know what you think! Comments, criticisms, questions, flames, etc
encouraged,
--Bram

| (...) As usual your car skills at once confuse and stun me. Really nice work. And thank you for the very thorough explanation of the 0.7 stud offset. I still have absolutely no idea how you did that. (URL) j o n (URL) zemi.net> (URL) moonbase> (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| Hi Nice work! I really like that car! And that's not just because I like BMWs in general :-) It's amazing how you managed to build quite a lot of little details at such a small scale (fuel cap!, dashboard, etc.). I especially like the lower fenders (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)
