Tamiya McLaren Senna built in a special way

[Raul]

Hi all, this is my first post here. I started this hobby 1 year ago and it became my favorite hobby. I like creativity so I created some stop motion movie of the actual build, using some LEGO characters from LEGO Friends kit.

Enjoy!

Fun video, must have been a lot of work. You’re building kits of that quality after only 1 year? ?

[Raul]

Thanks a lot! Indeed, quite some patience is required :D. To do the movie I took a picture each 0.1 seconds so roughly 2000 pictures were taken (some of them were not used). 

I am an automotive engineer so I like cars therefore the dedication in learning in 1 year :)) also the youtube tutorials helped a lot! The only issue is the cost...from nothing I ended up having 100 paint bottles and a harder and steenbeck airbrush :))

Great video Raul! Looks like it would be more work to do than actually building the model! I wish I could get my Lego people to build some of my models!

Cool video! A buddy of mine and I did a 3 min stop motion video similar to this about 30 yrs ago. Lots of work for such a short video. Great looking build though!

Beautiful model and what a cool idea.

I think to make the movie it took me like 8 hours. The car itself took way more, especially because I've used Alclad paint and I was not familiar with it, and had to remove the paint and repaint like 3 times :))

Cool movie and nice build.  It's a great reminder that this is all about fun...

Nicely done!

Great to see people just having fun with the hobby instead of being super serious all the time.

Thanks guys, didn't expect so many kind words!

Regarding the fun, everybody gets fun in its own way.

For me doing the build itself is really fun cause I like cars and I am still learning to do stuff, but once you reach the perfection I guess you can find alternative ways to still have fun like making a video for example

Well, you know what they say... Tamiya kits practically build themselves, just never knew they do that with the help of those Lego guys... ?

Fantastic video, great model! Would love to see more of your creativity!

Fully agree. I am working now on a Fujimi BMW 635 CSI and you can see a huge difference with the Tamiya one. This reflects also in the price of the kits. Didn't expect this though, because when I hear Japan I always think of quality ?

Anyway, I found out there are lots of passionate people here, so will for sure share it once I finish!

Very nice!

[slusher]

Looks great!

[ChrisR]

VERY NICE!

[Funkychiken]

Amazing quality especially if you've only been doing this for 1 year! 

[Andrew McD]

Your lego crew did a terrific job as did the video producer!

[LL3 Model Worx]

Man, that was one of the funnest model related things I've seen in...probably ever!

Awsome video and model!
