Bugatti 16.4 Veyron V1.1/V1.2 (4-Wide)

A new colour scheme and some new details for my 4-wide Bugatti 16.4 Veyron.

V1.1: A little update for the Veyron. You can see the previous version here.

Side view: I’ve finally had an idea how to get the bigger rims on the Veyron.

Rear right view: Round tiles for the tail lights and a chrome silver tile for the exhaust.

Bird’s eye view: The front grill is now chrome silver instead of metallic silver. The whole front had to be rebuilt for the new wheels with the other set of wheel holders.

The blue/silver (blue/grey) one does still exist.

Family meeting: I haven’t got a 2nd set of the chrome wheels, yet. I think the grey ones look cool, too.

The rear end has been updated on the blue/grey one, too.

Bonus photo: Another bird’s eye view

So this is V1.1 of my 4-wide LEGO Bugatti 16.4 Veyron. I hope you like it :-))

Update October 1, 2012:
Darker windows for the black/blue model: A mix of trans-black and black parts instead of the dark grey ones.

Update May 12, 2014:
V1.2 of the 4-wide Lego Bugatti Veyron – A new front and a new windshield, thanks to the new 1×2 “half bow” parts.

Nothing new on the rear end, but still cool.

Bonus picture: The “secret” of the front end

1992 Movie Batmobile (4-Wide)

My 4-wide version of the Batmobile as seen in the 1992 Tim Burton Movie “Batman Returns” including some extra functions…

As I had to wait for some parts to arrive, I had some time for a little redesign of my new 4-wide Batmobile after posting my preview. I’ve changed the shape of the roof section and the rear bat wings to get closer to the original.

Left side view: I love these new black 45 deg wedges with the cutout…

Rear right view: Afterburner on!

Front view: That’s a big air intake for that turbine.

And now the quiz question for the Tim Burton Batman movie fans: What’s the main difference between the 1989 and the 1992 Batmobile?

Let’s go! …

… 1 …

… 2 …

… 3 …

… Tadaa! – The Batmissile!

Front view: Better get away!

Rear view: Just like the cops in the movie saw it ;-))

Whoosh!

A little turn to the left …

… and a little turn to the right.

Nice side effect: The 4 wheel steering works really well …

… and the “parking mode”, too ;-))

The transformation of the axles: Batmobile mode …

… and Batmissile mode.

Detail view of the axles. The rigid tubes are like custom made 3mm bars :-))

And the “money shot”…

So this is my 4-wide LEGO Burton Batmobile including a 2-wide Batmissile. I hope you like it :-))

Update October 1, 2012:
New “bat wings” on the rear end of the Batmobile.

And there is the Batmissile.

A 4-wide version of the classic BMW 2002 turbo, the first German production model with a Turbo charger (even before the Porsche 911 got one)

I hadn’t thought about building a 4-wide “02” until I saw Starscream Soundwave’s 4-wide model. I have to say I was heavily inspired when I saw his BMW 2002 and the ideas started coming up. So please take a look at his model first (and leave a comment if you like it). That’s where I started with this model.

Left side view: I thought that the classic LEGO Town mudguards would look cool on this model so I added those. Then I changed the lower part of the side panels from wedges to arches. I think they look smoother this way. I’ve added some spoked rims for the classic sporty look.

Rear right view: No big changes here. I mainly changed the license plate section between the tail lights (Hmm, maybe I should use trans-red tiles instead of plates for those). I also made the window section in 3-wide instead of 4-wide.

Fast and Furious, vintage German style of the 70s: A 914 and a 2002 waiting for the green light :-))
I had to make the front bumper thicker to hide the lower half of the chrome grill for the BMW “kidney”. So now it’s a 2002 turbo front bumper ;-)). I also added a black roof for the “sporty look” and embedded it into the window line using the 45 deg wedges with the cutout. I remember quite a lot of customized cars with a black roof back in the 70s.

So this is my 4-wide LEGO BMW 2002 turbo. I hope you like it :-))

Update August 10, 2012: Some extra pictures
Rear left view: It really looks better with tiles for the tail lights.

On special request: The “underwear”. It almost looks like a modern aerodynamics kit :-)) You can also see the hidden part of the grill.

Bonus pictures: The original 2002 version (1971-1973)
Smooth front end without bumper and spoiler.

Rear end with round tail lights.

Update October 1, 2012:
A new colour scheme for the BMW 2002 turbo: The windows are black, now, roof and a part of front and back are orange. I think it looks a lot better with the black windows…
