I'm back at work now, so progress is going to slow down. It's been less than 2 months, so no complaints.

Yes, that's 1/6 and he did the entire noodle shop too. People here are insane.
 
I've seen that one on YT, very impressive, especially when it's all lit up.



As far as i can tell it has no moving parts, such as wheels or doors. The White Dragon noodle bar is really good. I'm pretty sure he built this Deckard sedan as well.

I also want to build the red sedan, as well as a Metrokab and some of the street furniture, such as parking meters and street lights.
 
Making the rear suspension. This is similar to how it was made for the Bond Lotus.

The main difference is that the entire assembly is mounted on rails and retracts when in flight mode.

Looking Great!
I'm curious..These are quite big when you complete them. Where/How do you display them or what do you do with them?
 
They have to be stored for now, like some of the larger pieces in my collection. I have a plan to display them properly later on.
 
The rear suspension complete.

The motor i'm using is an electric window motor. It was cheap and has more than enough torque for my needs. A square section beam passes through the central gear. Attached to the beam is an off centre cam.

The motor is fitted behind the suspension assembly.

As the motor spins, the cam pushes the suspension assembly up or down and holds it in place. Universal joints are inserted into the square beam.

A drive shaft is connected to the joints, to transfer power to the folding wheel mechanism at the front. The shaft will be hidden within the centre console.

Made the mechanism for the front wheels.

The driveshaft is connected to the rear wheels.

Progress so far. My Deckard shipped from KGHobby a few days ago, so hope to get him soon. I had completed the wheel covers and had hoped to show it on it's own wheels for the first time, but once all the other panels were attached, it stopped working properly. There may be something jamming it somewhere.
