The 2017 F1 grid, with added bricks
- Building the 2017 cars has been massive fun, and I think that even in Lego form they look much better than last year.- The longer wheelbase of the cars allowed me to add more details, especially in the barge-board area.- Because there was more space to work on, I'm very pleased with how the shapes of the cars turned out, with more accurate and diverse sidepod packaging than last year.- And of course the much talked-about return of the shark-fins allowed me one more point of differentiation between the cars!
Note the small T wing on the Ferrari!- Because of all of this, each and every car is much more recognizable than last year, even when it means slapping a grey wall on the back of the Force India!- The Williams looks instantly meaner with the lower rear wing, and arrow shaped front wing!- I'm still not convinced by McLaren's new livery, but I suppose it will grow on me. I love orange, after all.- I don't think I did the Toro Rosso any justice here. Lego just doesn't have the right blue to make that livery pop like it should. Still, shape-wise, I'm quite happy with it.- Another benefit of the bigger cars: they now all have an engine hidden inside! Although the one in the Red Bull is less detailed because of a more agressive sidepod shape.- I just love the shark fins. I don't know why some people hate them.- Sauber's new livery is quite flashy, but I think it works well here!- And just because I like to dream a bit too, I took the liberty to add the Manor to the party. I miss that lively color scheme!- As with last time, I will post instructions and parts list for each car tomorrow or the day after. So stay tuned if you want to build your own 2017 monster! The 2017 cars look so awesome, it was only natural that I tried to render them using LEGO bricks!
