I wanted to build a sand green car. I like this soft colour. I'm not 100% happy with the result but I used nearly all the parts I have in this colour. I think this green would be great for a car from the 40s but this car has the front of a car from the end of the 50s and the back of a car from the beginnig of the 50s I find. I will probably change it later. If you now an existing car close to this, please let me know. I just realized there are some common points with the 5-wide Muscle car made by Dohoon Kim. He must have influenced me.

Wow. Yet again I'm simply shocked by your work. Please put instructions on how to build it. My little brother would love a lego car like this to go along with his other lego Cars 2 cars. Keep up the awesome work! :)

Quoting Tris B I love your unusual coloured cars, this and the tan one stand out a mile, or kilometre if of European disposition

Thanks Tris, I like to build in unusual colours but it's not easy because some parts are hard to find or even don't exist. Luckily, you don't need to many parts for a 5-wide.

this looks really cool! :-) but i would rather prefer the front tiles to be more tidyed up if you know what i mean.. two of them are pointing downwards ;-) but other than that great car! :-)

You're right about the color on this one. It fits very well with the period you are portraying. The car itself is very nice. The period issue you mention is not noticeable to me. I think this is perfect, but I know how hard we AFOL's are on ourselves. Regards, Eric.

Quoting Firas Abu-Jaber I would like to see a larger scale from you and I think that you'd do great at them, keep on the great work.

Thanks for the comment Firas. Building bigger cars and motorcycles is in the pipe. I would like to build a Lancia Stratos and 1/15 scale cars for example. But, I am still gathering parts and I also need time for that. The big advantage of small cars is that I can have a nice collection of them without having big quantities of parts of one colour.

Beautifully done mate, what amazes me more than the design itself the way your 5 wides look from the thumbs; they look way bigger which is very good, although I love your 5's I would like to see a larger scale from you and I think that you'd do great at them, keep on the great work.
