BMW 2002 ti touring (1/6)
This Car comes with a short story.
Last week I saw someone's MOC of a BMW 2002 which reminded me, that it's a car on my vague list of things I want to build. So I searched Flickr for MOCs and real cars and half-heartedly started a 5-wide BMW.
On Saturday my wife and I went on a bicycle tour and in the middle of nowhere (okay, german nowhere, which means the next town is a whole 5km away) we came across a BMW 2002 ti touring.
The owner asked me not to upload any images of his car to the internet, but I had a really nice prototype for my MOC.
I used a new technique for the mudguards. My first 5-wide cars had a 1-plate (8LDU) gap between the wheels and the mudguards, because I used a 2x3 plate between the wheel suspension and the bricky part of the mudguards. With the 2x3 plate on top, the car looks way better!
This car is another example of the good things you can do with a fretsaw. I've cut 2 window panes to fit with the windshields. Cut and grinded some bits to close the gap at the front mudguards (yes, there are better technics for that, but I'd lose the horizontal blinker). And last not least I cut a damaged 1x4 wheelbase in half to have a bearing for the steering wheel.
Now the car is finished. I mean really finished! I won't touch it again. Today.
