Hi @ll,
I build a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air as my entry for the 1st International System
Creativity Contest at 1000steine.de
http://www.1000steine.de/themen/bauwettbewerb/070/070e.htm
Ever since I was a child I wanted to build a cool shark fin car from the
fifties. Now I've finally done it.
A lot of red bricks from several 2556 sets and shop@home bulk orders
went into this project. One of the hardest things was to attach the
windshield, but despite several problems in the beginning, I didn't give up
because I definitely liked my idea of a "real" windschield.
Of course such a car wouldn't be complete without a pair of "fuzzy dice" :-)
Well .. not quite so fuzzy in this case ... more sort of a "bricky dice" ...
More pictures will follow after the contest has ended.
Kind regards,
Andreas aka "El Caracho"
