An Italian Classic
Together with Gabriele Zannotti aka zanna I've been working on a scale model of a FIAT 500 for almost two years now. I've actually already uploaded several other 3D-views of our car here but this shows the most recent variant.
The model
As it stands right now the model is made of 1216 pieces and has plenty of details and features to offer.
The boot which is located at the front can be opened revealing the fuel tank, the braking fluid cannister, a toolbox and a spare tyre. The bonnet in the back is decorated with several custom decals depicting the various cooling vents as well as the license plate and additional details. It can be opened which allows you to see the detailed 500cc straight twin engine. Furthermore, the doors can be opened and the front seats tilted forward allowing you to access the rear seat bench. On sunny days you can also swap out the closed sun-roof for the opened variant.
Check out the version built out of real bricks on Gabriele's flickr page!
On the occasion of hitting 7.5k supports over on LEGO Ideas we've also put together a short animation dipicting our model's jouney up to now. Check it out in the MB Forum!
It's really nice to see the evolution of the model since 2016. Beside the chassis, which would certainly have a stronger structure, your already MOC feels like an official set, thanks to the use of clever techniques and some of the newest parts available.
Thank you very much @Scrubs! It wouldn't have been possible without Mecabricks.
Thanks @Jeff. We put lots of time into improving the model and we're glad it's beening noticed. The chassis is actually really quite stable now. Comparable to the Creator Expert Mini Cooper.
Congratulations for reaching 10,000 supporters. Very much deserved and I honestly think your project stands a great chance of being selected for production. Good luck!
Like Renderbricks, I'm very happy for you two. You did such a great job to promote this project with new thematic models and videos that's you really deserve it. I really hope you'll pass next step and see the official model on shelves.
