This time the gates were open to the courtyard at the, now closed, Velvet Cactus restaurant from the last shot. Inside, I found this colorful bit of garden bling.
This cool car is at the Klairmont Kollection Automotive Museum in Chicago.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
The hood of this car was up. I'm not exactly sure what this is called...looks like the front of the hood, just for show purposes I guess. This was inside Berger Chevrolet during the 28th Street Metro Cruise last year. So much chrome...sure don't make cars like this anymore.

... with the upside-down hood or roof part is designed by a genius. We just have to take away the double curved slope and get a well-rounded, well-framed vent/grille that is typical of quite a few classic sports cars. No sticker required. The 1x2 rounded plate comes in handy, too. We really get a lot of fantastic new parts with the 2018 SC line.
Frontend works for me like this. As a bumper I've found a dark gray rigid hose in 5 L which seems to be an official length.
There were some complaints about the wheel size on Facebook - to me it looks quite correct, the small wheels being a typical element of a classic Mini. I just checked the size of the rims: Diameter is 8 mm, which would mean 280 mm on the protoype in 1:35 scale. According to Wikipedia the classic Mini has 10 inch rims, which would mean 254 mm. That's an excellent match on a Lego car in minifig scale in my opinion.
Less bulky frontend with bumper, thinner, more elegant rockers, more fluent backend (see detail pic).
Regarding the rockers: In fact I re-installed the row of cheese slopes of the model but omitted one layer above them to get a more typical ground clearance (which was reduced considerably due to the smaller wheels).
This thing keeps me going ... When I saw LEGO_MOCkingJ's WIP, see www.flickr.com/photos/132949993@N06/33209480191, there was the idea how to get a better frontend in spite of the scanner lighting. However, instead of a curved slope I used a hinge plus 2x2 tile. I think it does look better plus the scanner is even narrower now (halfplate, more or less).
Hopefully that's it for now ... ;-)
Inversed binoculars for the headlights (just to try out), car has a roof now.
Due to some play within the structure you may lower the backend of the roof for one plate, as you can see. This causes some stress at the rear section but hopefully this can be solved since it improves the silhouette a lot ...
The Vauxhall is coming together now. First pass on the front end done. Still some spots to tidy up, but to my eye it is very close to the reference material. Most important my client is very happy with it :D

Mardi Gras 2016 - New Orleans
For anyone who doesn't understand the nature of the Mardi Gras beast- these are shots of the cleanup crews in action. A remarkable thing to see, too! Lots of people hang around just to watch the incredible job they do!
It's not just the crowds that generate trash- consider the fact that each float is tossing tons of stuff! Plastic cups, trinkets, beads, stuffed animals, frisbees, but there are also the bags that the throws come in and everything in between that goes over the side of a float!
It is just how it is, so while it may seem awful, take a second look- the clean-up crews rake and sweep and gather trash, frontend loaders pick up the trash and load it onto dump trucks to be hauled away, and then the sweepers come along and EVERYTHING is cleaner than most city streets on a normal day!
And this happens at the end of EVERY parade day; when the last parade of the route rolls, the cleanup crews follow closely behind, and when you hear the horns blaring after the last float has passed, you had better grab you stuff and get it off the curb because you have to be BACK and out of the way!
The haze you can see in some of these shots is dust from the crew raking up trash furiously, and sometimes, the haze is about humidity as the cleanup equipment sprays the streets down with water for cleaning! :)
