It must be one of the biggest ones they do.

Minirotty

Yeah the biggest Lego Technic car they do mate, well same scale as the F1 I have.

Minirotty

Tow truck completed too, was a single wheel base on rear but didn't look right so I made it twin rear wheel base and widened the dolly.


Towing a broken down Merc lol

Minirotty

The Porsche isn't even out in stores yet, when it is or you can pre-order its Ł250.


Well guess what the Chinese have done yeah man they've copied it for Ł55 pmsl


Just ordered one to see what the difference is lol

rooos

the chromed wheels look very cool, i love 'em. well done!

the new excavator project is a very good one, but that bucket wheel excavator is really badass...
minirotty, do you think you'll have it one day?

Minirotty

I may buy the big wheel excovator just for the build of it the use it for parts.

Minirotty

Fake Porsche arrived, it's 99.9% same as Lego one and cost me Ł55 pmsl


Started building it, so shared in on a Lego Tecgnic page I use, me and other interested were threatened with a ban

So I started a fake Lego page LOL

Mad!

Minirotty

I also finished the little Volvo digger...








Also modified the tow truck, I extended the chassis, added another twin rear axle and a few other bits... Owe and I chromed some parts myself again like the exhaust and side steps and added some Lego chains.

Looking good Kev, love the detail on the porsche!

rooos

the whole web has the proof:
sir giovanni alexander lego bought a brand new boat, with the money you gave him and they threatened you with a ban, for givin' info on a specific forum...
a ban..!?
maybe they're just really, really scared about that copy, but it sounds like very disrespectful for such customer as you are for 'em.
kinda makes me wonder what's in people's skull...

Minirotty

The Chinese don't give a feck thats why lol

Yes mate.

Thanks mate

Fuck um mate, I wrote Lego an email once, telling them my story, their reply went along the lines of "arh thatsbl nice, have you been to our online Lego store?" pmsl

So I hold no customer loyalty to um haha heres the progress in the Lepin Porsche

Real one and Lepin one...

Minirotty

Tonights progress...

Minirotty

COSSIEGAZ

So I've given up and told myself I'd have no where to put it

Minirotty

Fake one was on the right!

Heres a lonk to buy um lads ( Dojj ) lol


Look what I found on AliExpress
http://s.aliexpress.com/euMNvqme


Also here my latest build... All the chrome is my own touch and loads more chrome to come...
















The roof folds away to the rear and doors all open by motors...

clairendave

Just sent you a pm Kev.

Minirotty

Yeah man! Started modding already as well bored today and my legs killing me!!!


Added what will be a working supercharger in the way it will power the engine.

Changed the engine bay side panels to smaller ones and added the red pipping.
















Then it had a crash so more modding to be added haha

Minirotty

Chrome mods done!

dojj

iTrader: (3)

so you've got an actual electric supercharger then

Minirotty

Yeah man haha right rigged it up to crank and drives te wheels too lol

Gona make it r/c when I get round to it.

RichieST

iTrader: (2)

Loving that Kev. Is it another one from the wish app?

Minirotty

Not this one Richie bud, this is a Lego 8070 model and it's also the B model modified a bit by me, didn't like the look of the A model.

The Porsche was last one I had thats non Lego, but defo buy some more soon.

Also use Aliexpress and search Lepin or Decool mate.

jason_nike

Thinking of getting the porsche now.
Liking the models
