Nice work Barry.

Love that Barry. I would rather like a snowy version of that.

I might see if I can do that too, I'll buy another Quattro

I had the foresight to buy two at the time

Is that all your own work or did you find inspiration online? I can't see it on Rebrickable, just this very inferior one: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-135794 ... a/#details

There’s an assortment of unofficial rally car sets on ali express if you’re not against knock off stuff

If you make a snowy setup for the Quattro, this could go quite nicely on your sandy one

I wouldn't touch the knock-off stuff. The joy of Lego is how well it all works and fits together; even the best knock-offs don't have that quality.

A couple of my mates have tried the knockoff Lego and said it's actually pretty good. Said that once it's built and on the shelf, you'd never know and it's a quarter of the price.

For me, it's more the principle of it. I've got a long history with Lego with retro boxed stuff in the loft (although not bought any in a while) and it just feels wrong. Bit like having a MR2 355 - most people might not know...but I'd know.

I quite enjoyed the Chinese garden diorama and I've seen similar ideas yeah, so I can't claim it's all my own idea. This started with me building some sand plates up to give it a little context, then I made a base and went from there. Tempted to try and make a little "track side" one for the F1 cars. I'll need to buy some more bulk second hand stuff

Being inspired by something and using instructions are very different things - that is all yours I’d say Barry. Nice one.
