[MOC] WIP Eunos Roadster/Mazda MX-5/Miata

[PsychoWard666]

Hello, here is some photos of my new model, Eunos Roadster 1989 known in Europe as Mazda MX-5 or Mazda Miata in USA.

I need some bricks in right colors and I need finish exhaust (I have done in Stud.io), than I will create Building instructions and I will upload to Rebrickable.

Model has openable doors, hoods, pop-up headlights. On photos has VVT engine with ITB, but I also have genuine engine 1.6 or 1.8.

That's mightily impressive! Amazing how you translated the smooth, rounded shape into Lego.

The level of detail in this model is astonishing! Very, very well done!

It is also interesting to see you have modeled the drivetrain rather than the exhaust. It is often the other way around.

Bonus points for all the half-stud offsetting and for modeling the triangles of the rear suspension.

Tenderlok: Thank you so much! 

Lasse D: Thank you, I also modeled exhaust, but I didn´t have bricks for build it. Now is model done 

Model is now available on Rebrickable for 10$

Model is possible build in red, blue, white, light grey and black

Thats a pretty good rendition of it, the bonnet line and lights are great and love the interior.

Do you have any pictures of the mouth ? a very difficult area to capture

I think your rear lights are a little off, the definition of them against the red is lost and they look a little small height wise

I've got a modified version of @BrickMonkeyMOCs mx-5 as I've got a yellow car

But otherwise a great MOC

Another one great example, that round forms are really possible recreate in lego.

I think you need to form the top of the windscreen tube a little, maybe with a wire inside the tube, small criticism I know, but love what you have done so far, will keep an eye on this one to see how it ends out

Very nice model!
