Thanks Larry. I think Herge was a car fan, all the cars in his books were always appropriate, somehow.

HI! Just finished reading some more Tintin, i realized that this car was the "bad guy's" car in one of the books! :D Oh and it was extremely accurate :)

Hi. Building instructions for this don't exist.

beautiful model can and will you send me the building instructions mooi model zou je mij eventueel de bouwtekening willen mailen. greetz groeten mark

Exceptional! Great techniques!!

Very clever build - love the Citroen badge on the grille!

Wow!!! This is great to see you building in a different style, very SNOTy of you ;) I haven't taken the time to read all the comments yet, so if i repeat something, i'm sorry. There are dozens of wonderful technic functions in this car at this scale, which makes it better, i still haven't figured out technic yet :D

Love the scale !!!! The way you made those curves.....fantastic work !!!!

I have gone back to a non-Lego project I had been working on before the Legos. I'm producing a video game. It was getting burned out on it that led me here, and I think that will have to happen again. I have plenty of MOC ideas, but am too hot to trot for the game to take the time now. We'll see what happens after another 6 months of frying my brain with writing code and such. Still a pleasure to check out your stuff Nick. Gives me my Lego outlet while preserving most of my time. Till your next MOC!

Super car/

You're taking us back in the 50's movies... What a challenge and what a great work! I love the way you endled the citroen symbol on the front: very clever!! And still, you insert so many details inside. Impressive!!

Thanks Tom. Always nice to hear from you - have you recovered from your Mocathlon-induced burnout ?

Lovely job Nick. Masterful angling and curving.

Yes, all the time - I find it very difficult to take them apart!

Superb shaping and styling! Interesting to see that your other Citroen's are intact too, do you ever steal parts off of them?

Thanks Senator C. I only hope the gearchange doesn't feel like stirring mustard...

Well, now that's a pretty car. The curves are amazing!

Oh, I love how you got the emblem on the nose and the mudguards are very nice too, terrific ;)

Err...are you sick or what? No studs? 5/5 PS sorry for the late comment. :) ~LB Jr.

Wow! It's a very good car. The bodywork is perfect, but the best thing is the brand! Well done!

beautifull car, i love the olds citroen.

Awesome! It's so realistic! Excellent work

Haha, it looks so much bigger from the thumbnail! All of the functional features are VERY impressive, but the Citroen emblem on the grille just completes it for me. And while I think everybody likes the "huge" cars you've built before, I think I'd also like to see some more in this scale.

Amazing job on this one! You're style of building manages to shine through the tiles, and to marvelous affect. I really like how all the functions haven't compromised the looks of the exterior, and the interior shines as a beacon to mustard spoons everywhere! =)

Fantastic work. I love the way you made the citroen logo on the grill.

People with great style, obviously. Thanks Ben

No Studs!? Haha, great work, Nick! This is a stunningly clever design, and the subtleties of the shapes are captured quite nicely. I really had trouble telling the scale on this one, It seemed so much bigger, I still have a hard time believing it's as small as it is! Excellent details, and bravo with the working functions!

Oh, I had to look once more to realize that you used classic steering plates with bricks. I'm glad you are OK :-)) By the way, I bought the new orange trike yesterday, it has quite a lot Technic parts for €20,-. I'm still not getting warm with the studless Technic parts, but I have to admit, it has some advantages. Well, I'm a Trekkie AND a Star Wars fan, why not combine classic and studless Technic one day ;-))

I'm with Shifu, black and gorgeous mate.

Quite a lot of the yellow 2CV is in the Ecurie Ecosse transporter. Blame Ape Fight ;-)

Black beauty!

Very impressive! The angles are masterful, and the SNOT is fantastic. Truly brilliant work!

Wait a minute, ALL your Citroens? That doesn't bode well for your yellow 2CV =P

Wonderful! I'm missing the studs only a little bit - but the curved shape is great!

very beautiful. My parents got married in one of those. 5/5

Nice one, Nick!

excellent model, nice collection you have too.

Beautiful!

Well Nick, to be honest, this your best Citroen, next to the 'Cloverleaf'. I restrain to ask you to create a 2CV and a DS in the same style. :-). And I add it to my comment again: one of the references in this scale on the pages. I first thought to much sirup, but it has to be said.

looks great, very nice shaping and features. 5/5

ravishingly beautiful!

Thanks Joost. A departure from my studtastic norm, for sure, but something I've wanted to do for a while. Glad you like it! :-)

Ok, just a little less sirup in an edited comment: I especially like it's spot-on proportions,the combo of technic and 'normal' parts, how you achieved the door hinges, and also great work with the front suspension and steering. However it is not 'your style', you made a brilliant studless build. Thank you very much for sharing!

Another mythic car in a very original style! Some nice solutions, but especially I like the front grill with the logo.

Thanks and btw English make absolute beauty cars too!

Splendid! Keep up the great work, Nick!

MASTERFUL! :)

Fabulous! This is great! There was one of these abandoned in an underground parking lot of an apartment in Senegal. Never took photos of it because I was small when I was living at that place and I never thought old cars were interesting. Your Citroen collection is coming out great. I can see that you are making a collection of classic ones but I want you to try one of the modern ones. ;) It would be great%

Wow! Very good model. Some great techniques were used.... you definitely have a thing for citroens! :)

Studless Technic ? Heaven forfend, no. The roof does look like technic but it's done with bricks. Thanks, Nils.

You did an excellent beauty Nick , with a lot of great solutions!

Wow, Nick, this one is awesome. But studless Technic - Are you OK, Nick, no fever or anything? ;-)) The result is great, nevertheless! I recognized it at the first glance, this classic movie gangster car. The details are very cool, especially the creative use of the small antennas :-) Your Technic funtions are top (as always), I love the rear suspension! Great job! :-))

It was a compromise between detail and proportion and detail won. Thanks for the comment, I don't disagree...

Strangely, no. I'm British but the French do make the best cars.

Wow, this is outstanding my friend!

Thanks Ape. Although it's worth mentioning that I did without a show engine or opening bonnet to include them. It's just what I prefer to do.

Haha! Yeah, I'm all bunged up now, but not for long ;-)

Thanks Joe. I'm very well indeed. I think a greater percentage of these were black than Model T Fords!

10/ 10 :)

The shape is definitely exact and so are the sides. Lovely work. Now I know your style is oldschool, brickish and stuff but that front looks very messy for my taste. It could be a bit cleaner, but that's just me. Either way lovely work!

Are you french?! I've the feeling you are, because you do splendid french cars many times! This one is one of my favorite french car from the 30's an excellent "Frenchy" Hot Rod base! (The Hot Rod custom culture come to france some years later than in USA... ; ) ) and it wasn't "extreme" customisation rather than american ones... So, after this hisory page, Your Traction is very good! great details (Really like the front grill and the technic used for the Citroën logo!) 100/5 : )

Absolument incroyable! Je suis tombé amoureux! - A fantastic build, I will take some time to explore all the details and functions. The silhouette is a masterpiece. Outstanding!

I didn't recognise this as your creation, there are so few studs! It's awesome, the grill, doors and roof shaping especially. One of the nicest medium scale cars I've ever seen. AND you've got working functions in there too (see people, you can put steering and whatnot into any MOC). 10/10 : )

This was well worth taking time-out on the 'D' for! It's beautiful! I think I only counted 31 studs lol, what's happened Nick? Is your nose a bit conjested? I love the way you did the Citroen badge and those doors are exceedingly clever. We're going to need a very large table at this show, I hope you're going to bring these!

It’s wonderful. I love how you have created the curves and the door opening mechanism (via the B strut). The technical functions are excellent (as ever) especially the HOG and in-car steering which at this scale must have been very difficult. My favourite colour too :). Hope you are well

Thats just brilliant!What a beauty!!No words!Keep up the great work!

Brilliant!!! I love how you made the shape, it looks really good! The doors are just amezing. the steering is awesome. I love how you did the logo on front of the car!! 5/5 :-)
