NEW ALTERNATE PLANNED
@knb112, yours is up next alongside the rebuilds I’m doing. If you’d like, I can post an idea of which cars are coming no matter what for you to choose from.
ANY LUG member can request one of these alternate cars. Just ask.

NEW CAR COMPLETED
This is the alternate #18 car, earmarked for @randomdan. This is another case, like all alternate cars before this, where the alternate fits among the regular field in terms of quality. No drop off here!

I need to see this Burgh build in person. Microscale fascinates me.

Maybe we should talk about my cracy Space container system. I think you could help make these MOCs of mine both look better and be more varied in shape and content.

12/2/2021:
Built two paddock stall facades, 20 studs wide to match a pit lane stall, and only 2 studs deep with an overhanging 4 stud shelf well above the cars. In this way I can plug these on, still have a 3 stud space between the stall and the necessary pit wall.
They’re sturdy enough that I can pull them right off the baseplate and plug them…[Read more]

TRACK CONSTRUCTION
This is a general idea for minimum paddock stall width, even though each pit box must be 20 studs long for the car to fit.
This is also the format for the Winner’s Circle sign I want to be able to plug on and remove.
I’m also thinking about these patterned parts as the corners of one half of the pedestrian bridge,…[Read more]

CITY CAR CONSTRUCTION
* Rebuilt two taxis. Two figs now fit in each car, but without seats and jammed directly against each other. I need to rebuild them again to make them at least two studs longer: one in back to accommodate the passenger and driver more comfortably, and one or two up front to make this vehicle balanced front and…[Read more]

CAR / TEAM CONSTRUCTION
I got the #46 posted on Flickr, and got to take a look at the pit crew organization more closely.
It turns out that 8 figs with matching printed torsos that match the car is what I need, as these teams are the only ones I want to place in the paddock. Here’s what 8 figs I need:

CAR CONSTRUCTION
I’m going through mu MOCs one more time, taking new pictures after I edit gas caps, cockpit height, and minifig heads. It turns out that very few of the cars I built had drivers or faces to go with them, so I can select from the 40 or so minifig heads that I bought.
I’ve also started putting the version 2 car photos…[Read more]

Yeah, this has turned into a blog. I’ve found it useful over time to keep this thread updated not just as a motivator for myself to keep going, but to go through and keep track of my creative thoughts and process.

Hey, that was quick. Congratulations! I would have liked to see a closer view of those ‘figs though. I’m short on those for bigger scenes. I have a ton of beach themed people, but I need more normal weather Town/City figs. That slipped right through the cracks for me. Ehh. Missed opportunity.
By the way, welcome to the club, Ken! What project is…[Read more]
