Thanks Steve. There were so many bricks / layers / groups, I thought the PC was going to give up.

Thanks Steve. It was fun and brought back memories of the many happy hours I had with lego.

Thanks for the title. My second in fact. I lost my first when I had to register again

Many thanks Steve, this was definitely one of those challenges where I got half way through and thought what am I doing!
Also, apart from the circles it is a lot easier to draw in isometric for real, rather than in photoshop. Now there is a first!

Thanks very much, Steve. You know how it is when you just have to try something. And then with the Lego tenons still needing scaling and many other adjustments to lighting still to do... I took the only option. Over the cliff! But I did enjoy it.

A very interesting approach from Luis, who has drawn all his Lego blocks from scratch (as Luis tends to do). Excellent attention to the highlit edges and sloping sides: a really novel method. Luis, can I ask: did you build the car out of real Lego first? The final version in the second entry is outstanding!

Thanks for your comments Steve. Since I don't have legos anymore, I did not have a model in front of me. I had to go to the sofrware option that lets you build models out of lego. One of the models was this race car. It was not completely finished so I had to build it and added some stuff to it. What was great about this program that it lets you print out the instructions on building this model. It showed all the parts. Now it was time to re- create all the parts in photoshop which was a big job in doing.

getting the symmetry right on all the sides must have been a logistical nightmare!

I wanted to build a sphere, but isometric doesn't do underneaths very well. So cowpat it is. A lot of the symmetry was done by duplicating the front and turning it into the side.
