Fiat Panda (2)
I normally design my models using pictures and a quick sketch or two before I start putting bricks together. However, I'm mostly far away from my collection at the moment and decided to design this one using a computer, before building the model in actual bricks last weekend.
I did a fair bit of fine-tuning in the process relative to the original design. The real Panda has a distinctive curve in the top of the side windows. Even though my CAD model was more-or-less the proper height, it didn't look right. I increased the height of the roof on the brick-built model to emphasise the curve.
