ok.. i think i speak on behalf of everyone when i say: ur good

A stunning creation! You've made a slightly bland car beautiful, I really like this. The back lights are dead on and the front is also great. A truly fantastic creation!

Great work!!! Have you got a video of your creation? ;)

Very Impressive !!>....well done

Impressive!

ravishingly beautiful!

You've been asking how did I do the door hinging. I uploaded a picture on my flicker account and added detailed comments and notes to it, so it should be clear from this point on. Please feel free to use this concept. Please find the picture here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_rolic/7254606140/in/photostream

awesome, never often see a volvo on this page it is a really great car 5/5

Comeone comeone people! I know if's V - 50, but make it 100 stars :)

This is gorgeous. The level of detail is astonishing; very classy.

Awesome. The Tailights are identical. So does the rest of the car =) How many pieces did you use in this creation?

Very good made and looking like the real one.

This is one of the most detailed cars on MOCpages I think! Love your style, and love the car! Also like your solution of the Volvo logo ;)

Great detail, and great curves!

All I can say is WOW! That is an extaordinary build, exceptional detail and functionality, you sir are a true LEGO Master!

...and now there's 50. I know what you mean though, a car this good deserves hundreds. If it was a Ferrari it would have them - but you and I don't play to the gallery do we ?

Only 49 "smilies". Hmm.. comeone people, I know you can do better than this :) Thanks by the way to those heroes who already managed to do that - I like to read some nice comments and later show the list of praises and critiques to my colleagues.

Aamazingly Awesome Car! All of your models are simply superb...

Again an amazing creation. It is so clear that it's a Volvo V50, that I hadn't have a look at the title of the creation above the page. The back is the best part, espacially the rear lights are a exact copy of the ones of the real V50. This is a hard car to build with Lego because of the roundings, details, but you've done an amazing job.

so full of win! i think this is your best creation! but what's with the cover picture? it doesnt nearly do justice to the volvo! and could you post more lower-angle shots of the car? hehe

Excellent! It's really great to see ordinary cars like this being built! Great job!

Wow!!!

Great job, one of the best Volvos who ive never seen in Lego

I'll try to put a schematic picture someday here, but for each "one door hinge" there are "three hinging points". This allows the door to come our at first and then hinged as needed. Something similar to how the Coeningsegg doors open. Ah.. it's hard to explain. I'll put a pic better... some day.... when I'll have time for this.

My roof shaping (the slight angling) is based on these hinges http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4276

Hi Thank you all for the great input. First of all.. yes - I thought about putting these grilled bricks but then I wouldn't be able to place the "T" shaped logo thing in there, because the grill part ir 8 studs wide, not nine. And I hate to put a sticker on a not plat surface. So... it's one or the other way and I liked this one better since the real Volvo also has quite flat front surface.

Wow! You've put in so much details! Very realistic, but still great playability. 5/5 :-)

I am not a great fan of Volvo but there… Superb realization and excellent details. 5/5 for this work.

I agree on the grill, it could be improved. But nonetheless this is an outstandingly beautifully crafted car!

Hey hey, look at this. I have to say you could do something about the front grill with the distinctive Volvo diagonal line as an insignia but it's forgiven. It definitely looks like Volvo and it also has a lot of cool features even in this scale. Bravo!

WoW

I liked it a lot, great detail and great size as well. What i'm trying to learn is how you make the roof, it's so confusing because I tried so many methods and it doesn't come out good at all. What i'm trying to do is build a great and strong looking roof for a concept car I'm currently making, can you (or someone else) give any tips how to make it, it's so confusing and cool at the same time. It would be great.

Fantastic all the way around! The long wait was well worth it, you are a genius with cars like this. I still don't know how you made all the hinges, but they seem to work just great. Also, I love the half-stud wide fenders sticking out, and that you managed to make the door curve around them without gaps - amazing! So many other great things to point out, I will just say I like the little "T" piece in front for the Volvo logo, very simple but effective. Great to have you back, my friend!

Great car! Perfect!

wow stunning model very detailed. lots of thought gone in to that well done .can you tell me what lego bricks you used for the doors to open .I am stuck on my model truck as i am not satisfied with mine

Stunning, the first pic certainly didn't grab my attention, but really glad I clicked now. Fantastic level of detail, and brilliantly shaped. Well done!

On top of the ranking, without any doubt!

Utterly brilliant. It's the little things like the parcel shelf, roof rails etc the elevate beyond even the top ranks of LEGO cars. The shape and detailing is of course perfect too. A superb, wonderful, incredible build. And a testing one judging by the intricacies of the window surrounds... 10/10 and congrats on the blogging : )

Absolutely fantastic work. You captured the design of the Volvo perfectly. The details and the functionality are awesome. :)

Nice lines. Captures the original quite well.

amazing, the shape and details are perfect. How were able to make the back doors open without needing the front door to open? 5/5

This car is amazing! How did fit in all those details? It's perfect!

The best Volvo I´ve seen so far :)

An ordinary car done with extraordinary brilliance! Great job on the doors and other functions, along with nice detailing and a clean look

You've been blogged. http://thelegocarblog.wordpress.com/ Congrats! It richly deserves it :-)

Fantastic! The rear is my favorite! -LB Jr.

Oh my... this is something that i cant rate... Stunningly stunning job!

Holy sh...it's an absolutely awesome MOC!The rear and the side view is simply perfect,and all the details is excellent -as usualy. I lift my hat to you Rolands!

wow!!! great creation!!! fantastic!!!!! 5 points. I like volvo cars

great attention to detail, the shape is spot on too, well done.

Wow, excellent shaping and great details. Your model really looks like the original! Nice use of the T-piece for the Volvo logo. Great job! :-))

fantastic! very sleek design!

Wow, your creation is remarkable, I like it very much! My input: the front grid - being just flat - lacks details compared to the rest of the car. I would personally try to insert 2x1 black grids instead. About your photography: not sure you made it on purpose, but all the pictures have a blueish color cast. You can very easily fix during photo retouch. In addition shooting pictures by rotating your MOC around creates just "informative" pictures. Try to experiment taking pictures holding for example your camera at an angle, and then from a very low angle and so on. Such a great MOC deserves a special treatment! Need more help? Just look at Nathanaël Kuipers's 5867 alternates pictures to get inspired! That being said... great MOC, I think you as builder can easily be in the top 10 on MOCpages. Congratulations! MZ

It's nice to see you back with such a wonderful creation! I like that you go for the more ordinary cars, which are actually harder to build, because the details have to be exactly right. Of course this is no problem for you with this fantastic model that is instantly recognizable! On top of that everything opens in a remarkable way. Well done!

Stunning. One of the very best cars of any kind on the 'pages. We can always rely on you to do an ordinary car extraordinarily well.

OK. I'll be at home at 7 pm :)

Absolutely fantastic. I will come back after work for a closer look.
