Ooh can’t wait to see the Reliant on full. Looks great so far. May have to break out the Legos again.

I sympathize with the frog right now.

Waiting anxiously for coilovers to arrive...

Not the car I would have expected, given the title:

Incidentally, I’d assume all those heavily rounded ‘90s cars are pretty tricky to do well in Lego.

I think it’s now the cutest car in my collection, largely due to the large headlights. My options were 1x1 or 2x2 headlights, and neither are quite the right size, but 2x2 looked cuter, so I went with those :P

Yeah, 90's cars are a challenge. I think one of the best approaches is actually to use fewer rounded parts, and just use lots of plates and half-stud offsets to get the shape. Because at that point, even if none of it is actually very round, the gazillion right angles will sort of blur together and the car will look round anyways.

The fact that you can never get it exactly right is half the fun. Those challenging decisions always just make you more satisfied with the final product.
