My previous build and survey of the Speed Champions series happened to coincide with the team shifting the model design scale from 6 to 8-studs wide. This chapter takes a look at the first three four* seasons of these new larger-scale sets. *Updated with the 2023 models!

Lego model of my Hypercar concept sketches built as a canvas for adapting livery designs onto a physical three-dimensional form.

Chapter 2: The 994. Created as a continuation of #NEWGROUPCBLAST Dusted off Cinema4d after a year-and-a-half (two?) hiatus for the next new prototype in my alt-history Group C/GTP story-arc. Teams, liveries and back-stories in progress...

I've acquired a few of the Speed Champions sets over the last several years, mostly they've been sitting around in their boxes waiting for some time to build them. The latest wave of Lego's increasingly-excellent sets triggered a mass build which became a study in the evolution of this line's experience design.

Part 6 of #NEWGROUPCBLAST. Rock this way.

Prototype car design for a series of livery studies. The work appeared in #NEWGROUPCBLAST, an Instagram thread spun up by Oct8n in October 2018 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Group C/GTP sports-prototype era and in anticipation of the the new 2020 prototype regulations.

A celebration of Ferrari's 70th anniversary. This modern, 488-powered take on a GT1-esque semi-prototype follows in the steps of the F40 and F50 with a lightweight minimal design focussed on track days, speed clubs and pro race series. The F88's form is a mix-tape homage to great Ferraris; 312PB, 330P3/4, 288GTO, F40 LM/GTE, 333sp, 488 GTB, LaFerrari, and the 512S Berlinetta Speciale and Modulo concepts.

A concept sketch exercise done as a test file for some Adobe Photoshop 2d rendering workflows.

The minimal body concept was partially created as a quick test for the Cricut Explore, the newest tool in my design and prototyping studio.

Working on an idea for long 'tusks' on the nose of the rXA, I realized I might be able do away with the entire standard Traxxas front bumper and mounting assembly and replace it with a bracket and beam setup (similar to the latest LMP wing mount).
