After a hiatus, in which ExoM (http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/8380) purchased majority shares, Speedtech is back with a bang, in the form of it's first Formula 1 car...
About this creation
The Speedtech SRD F1-10 is a new thing coming from Speedtech. The name, SRD F1-10, stands for Speedtech Racing Development Formula 1 2010.

Front view. Not much to be said here...

Side view. When viewed like this from a distance, I swear it looks real... Or is it just that I'm becoming delusional?

Rear, showing the diffuser and rear wing.

Aerodynamically smooth underside

A close up of the underside, showing how I mounted the diffuser.

Top view.

The driver

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! Someone severed the driver's head! Only joking. I couldn't find a way to fit a mini figure whilst keeping structural rigidity...

Front 3/4 view

Close up showing the "fence" used to keep air flowing smoothly over the side pods.

The front wing.

The roll hoop, and severed head, er, I mean driver...
The black piece is the camera.

Rear wing

How I mounted the rear wing. The way I mounted the rear diffuser helped a lot.

The front brakes.

How the rear wheels were mounted

The front suspension. The credit for this, and indeed, the inspiration for this car, goes to Dan Nelson

Front 3/4

Rear 3/4

The magical SNOT (Studs Not On Top) in the side pods

The front wing, which is made up of 18 parts on its own.

A minifig angry at his friend's decapitation, um, er, I mean a minifig comparison

Driver's view

The driver speeding off to a new race.

I like it, but I'd like some nicer pictures of it. A piece of blank paper or a clean sheet makes a nice backdrop, and you can persaude someone else to take the pictures if you are unsure of your own skills.
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately this car has been dismantled, but I will attempt a studio of sorts for my next MOC - It'll be rather big.

Thanks for the credit!
I like the way you've attached the fences at the edges of the sidepods. Very clever. Look forward to seeing what you do for next season, or maybe a 'B' version of this later during this season.
The attachment of the fences is easily the most fiddly part of the model... Also, you're right, I'm already thinking about a 'B' version. I'm struggling to find a way to attach a shark fin, as it'll definitely feature on the F1-10-B. |
