Rx7 ReColored
And the last day of my "ReColor" series is my Rx7 of course! Featured in yellow and white. Fun fact, these are 2 colors that I was heavily considering before I ended up choosing red.
So why did I choose red? Well, I initially really wanted to build the car in white with red seats. This is one of my favorite combinations that I think works for any cars. I am definitely going to do this for one of my future cars! However, I had to abandon the idea of using white because of the fender arch piece. It has not been in produced in white for years, so you can only buy them used or for new with a really high price. I just couldn't justify that. Alternatively, third party companies do make them in white, but I just didn't feel like using them.
Yellow also looks amazing here, but again this is actually bright light orange, which the fender arch piece is not available in. I could use the regular yellow, but after seeing @3dsupercarbricks's Rx7 in red, which this build is inspired by, I just chose red since it looks amazing!
Overall, I love these 2 colors for my Rx7! I still have the idea of creating different versions of this car, so maybe then I will build it in these colors.
Before we end this off, I want to talk about other colors. Sand blue is a fairly new color that I really like. I have the Lego Bad Batch Shuttle, which is in that color and it just looks so satisfying. I had the idea of building a car in that color, but there are limited pieces at this time. Hopefully Lego makes more pieces available in that color. And let's talk about black. I'm usually not a huge fan of black cars because they blend in with the car's grills and black accents, which is a stealthy look. However, after seeing @tjhunt's Streethunter Supra debut in black, I fell in love with it. Although I prefer the contrasty look, I think I will have to build a car in black in the future!
Version: v1.0
Scale: ~1:17
