   Hi All,

This is my newest MOC...

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/erbush/racecars/formula1racer1/overallview.jpg

When I make a new car, although ugly, I like to race it against others that I have made. Luckily for me, my driveway has a wonderful slope that levels out after about 20 to 25 ft. (I have not measured it) and it makes a great racetrack. I let the cars go at the top and usually which ever car has the best axles goes the fastest, but this weekend I had some extra time on my hands and I wanted to set a new record for myself. This record was not a timed record. I wanted to build a racecar that not only went fast but looked good. I have looked for a good color scheme for a racecar for a while and when I was building a yellow and red car I decided to change the bottom to white. I think it looks better this way.

I don’t know when the folder will be available on Brickshelf so here are the deep links...

Thanks Erik Bush

That’s very impressive erik! Now all you need to do is make it in these colours :) :

Oh, and if you could make it the same scale as yours, that would be awesome (I try and I try, but I cannot seem to do it... :( )

But, all personal advertising aside, it’s a very swish job! you have captured the style of an f1 racer very well!

Keep up the good work!

cheers, Matt
