I like how you made a prototype in different colors. It would a cool idea to display this with your complete build as to show off the design process!

[@svensbricks]

That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t think it’s still around

[@ThrowToTheWolves]

That is such a cute 911. Really love the outcome of the smaller but larger than original scale. That rear window salutation was genius by the way.

[@svensbricks]

Thanks so much! I was dead chuffed with that window, not gonna lie 😀

[@lj5030]

I’ve started converting my older cars after watching these videos and so far I have done the C7 corvette, 2016 ford lm gt and the 68 mustang, it’s been a fun challenge and now I want to convert all of my 6 wide collection haha keep up the great work!

[@svensbricks]

That is awesome! I’d love to see photos, send me some on Instagram if you want. Thanks for the comment!

[@tavernellomocs]

Saw this on RB, nice job I also did in the past my own 7 and 8 stud modification of this set and I am sure that 7 studs are the best choice!

[@svensbricks]

Thanks for the comment 😃 what’s RB? If you mean Racing Brick please link because I haven’t seen that!

[@tavernellomocs]

@@svensbricks rebrickable sorry...😅😅

[@svensbricks]

@@tavernellomocs aha! Then I get you, thanks 😊

[@red464]

amazing transformation! it really dose better in 7 stud format

[@svensbricks]

Thank you kindly 😃

[@balazs_modelworks]

That is as perfect as this kit can be. Great work Sven, I must say that I really enjoy seeing your progress from video to video. The 7 stud conversion was clever and inspiring, keep it up!

[@svensbricks]

Thanks mate!

[@johnvaassen7725]

Great job, 7 wide is a good idea for some cars.

[@svensbricks]

Thanks 👍

[@hunterschwartz256]

I have the green Porsche 911 that came in a 2 pack with the 911 RSR racecar. And I am curious if the instructions will work on the green Porsche as well

[@ridgelineenjoyer1517]

It’s the exact same build so it should be good

[@hunterschwartz256]

@@ridgelineenjoyer1517 thanks, sounds like I've got a bricklink order in my future for green parts for the car

[@svensbricks]

Yep it’s the same

[@joaquinperry9516]

This is really cool I love the Porsche 911 but could mod the 2020 Nismo Gt-r to me more accurate, I feel like it is to tall for the actual car in real life

[@speedybrick]

Great job, 7 wide is a good fit. Big fan of the new 8 wide sets but agree that some cars would be better as 7 wide or even 6 wide for say a mini. Trick is to have enough space for the interior, two seats etc, so 5 wide.

[@svensbricks]

Thanks a lot for the comment!!

[@speedybrick]

@@svensbricks your welcome. Did you manage to catch my 8 wide MOC version?

[@svensbricks]

@@speedybrick hey! I did after you wrote this, yours looks a lot better than my 8 stud wide attempt, great job!

[@speedybrick]

@@svensbricks thanks, most appreciated

[@vudo5194]

Amazing convertion! Looks even more accurate than the 8 stud version

[@svensbricks]

Many thanks for the kind words!

[@rhino202]

I really like it. Was never a fan of the smaller models, and think the 8 stud look so much better. Can't wait for them to remake the 911 or maybe just make a Carrera GT .

[@svensbricks]

Thanks for the comment! I’ve also hoped for a long time that they’d make a Carrera GT, just about my favourite car

[@rhino202]

@@svensbricks maybe Creator will some day🤞

[@e8ghtmileshigh1]

7 wide really is ideal. At the rate we are getting new parts this task should become easier.

[@wagonfixin]

I’m trying to design this in a 7 wide but similar to the ferrari racecar they did that is 8 wide in the front and 9 in the rear i’m trying to do 7 in the front and 8 in the rear to capture the shape of the 911

[@svensbricks]

I’d love to see that when you’re done!!!

[@escudoGL]

Great build Sven. Just checking the last 3 pages of moc, are those the extra parts that i needed for the conversion? Thanks

[@svensbricks]

Hi and thanks for the comment! Those are all the parts including the ones from the original set. Almost all of the grey parts are interchangeable with other colours.

[@jackdahlgren2001]

This build is great. Before you make the final model you could add some wide body fenders that go out to 8 wide like on some real cars. And if you do redesign the Ferrari f40 you could use the older 4wide gray one I used it for mine and I works just as good

[@svensbricks]

Thanks for the comment! Do you have photos anywhere of your build?

[@jackdahlgren2001]

@@svensbricks I do but I haven’t posted any

[@svensbricks]

@@jackdahlgren2001 let me know if you do, would love to see them :)

Wish I had the pieces to do these conversions. You’re doing gods work lol

[@svensbricks]

I’ll get some instructions and part list up over the next couple of weeks 👍🏻

[@chunkozumee]

Make 7 or 8 studs for Laferrari pls

[@svensbricks]

Yep, have my eye on that one, it’ll happen!

@@svensbrickscan you make 7 or 8 studs on Ferrari xx k?

[@arvidekerby9561]

Can you do the audi r8 lms?

[@svensbricks]

I’ll definitely get around to it sooner or later! It’s very reliant on stickers though, so may customise it a fair bit

@@svensbricksmaybe make it a street car?

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

the 911's front and rear bumpers are supposed to be exposed and stick further out than your new interpretation , so your model doesn't look correct , and the rear slope of your 911 is also slightly looks a bit off . I never liked those top plates for the 911's top of the wheel arches , they don't make the 911 look good or sleek above the top of wheel arch lines , neither that triangle slope 2x1 at the rear of the front wing near to window line . I myself changed my speed champions 911 slightly , and got rid of flat plates above the wheel arches , and used the standard arches with no plates above the top of the wheel arch lines . Instead of a triangle at the rear of the front wing which doesn't look right , I myself put small side mirrors on my 911 . On the rear front bottom of the top of rear arch I used the small 1x1 flat round triangle there on both sides . On the sides of the rear roof slope behind the drivers seat position , i used a 1x1 black brick with the hole in the center , and behind that i left the little tiny gaps as was possible when laying down that rear slopes on the sides . That 1x1 black brick on the sides of the sloping roof simulates a real 911 targa turbo's black side strengthened pillars that are on a real 911 targa turbo , and some of the little tiny gap of a hole on the sides behind that black pillar with the hole that I could achieve get simulate some sort of small side window . I left the bumpers as the original , and on the rear bumper I added the triangle brick in white one brick hole in on the rear bumper . The widest part of the triangle brick sticks out at the top with the slope going inwards at the bottom of the rear bumper . As with the original real 911 turbo , the rear bumper has the two big rubber crash protectors on the rear bumper . So the miner changes i have made to the original size speed champions 911 , the slight changes I have made to mine , make it look better than it originally did . The original 911 turbo though needs those stuck out bumpers as is on the real 911 turbo , and targa turbo .

The hood/bonnet is one stud too long. 😢

[@juansaladzar]

You could have made it a cabriolet brah 🤔

[@svensbricks]

I could have!

@@svensbricks you could always make another one like that in a different color even good work chap 👍
