The GT-4886 v3.1 - a photo on Flickriver

The GT-4886 v3.1

            Update! My BRZ has been revised to be scaled at ~1:17, previously ~1:18. What actually changed? Well, the car has been lengthened by 1 stud and I added the new section in between the door and the rear fender. Doing so, was pretty simple to do, so that was nice.

Another change I made was the roof! While lengthening the car, the roof had to be lengthened by 1 stud as well. Since I was going to revise the roof, I decided to smoothen the roof with tiles to match the roof of my other cars. The perfectionism in me wanted my cars to be consistent in their build styles. I think it turned out nice, but part of me misses the studs. The roof on the actual BRZ does have an inset in the middle to give room for drivers to wear a helmets, so my previous roof is more accurate. But what do you prefer, the old or the new?

Let's talk further about scaling. The reason for this change was because I realized my Rx7 had the same wheelbase as my BRZ. In real life, that is not the case. The BRZ is actually longer! That led me down a rabbit hole and I used Fitment Industries to look at people's wheel setups. I then learned that this tire diameter is very well suited for 18 inch wheel setups on the BRZ. And thus, I came to the conclusion that my builds should be in ~1:17 scale. There are a lot of factors to consider, but moving forward, I will be prioritizing the wheelbase for my cars.

Version: v3.1
Scale: ~1:17
