OV9

I had got the pieces together for a generic French 80s hot hatchback so built it this weekend. It was designed by Nico71 - sadly he’s been prevented by licensing issues from selling the instructions but I contacted him and he sold me a logo-free version; hence generic rather than Peugeot. Damn you Stellantis!





His design is really nice. You can tell it’s not a Lego official set because some parts are held on with a single stud for example, but that makes it a bit more interesting. His instructions are brilliant - I’d buy his designs again.

Not a bad effort at all no, and Technic is very hard to balance between getting the silhouette right and faking with stickers. I'd want to work on the front area perhaps, but still cool.

It’s a bad angle for the photo, and possibly a bit of me not angling stuff quite right.

Here is the original with stickers: https://www.nico71.fr/product/peugeot-205-gti/

That'll get him some time in penne-tentiary.

The Imperial fleet commander told his wife the latest Star Destroyers were made of tagliatelle. She didn’t believe him until she saw him fly pasta….
