Made this little car last night. I challenged myself by building it five studs wide, which was a much greater pain than anticipated.

Impressive detail for such a small scale!
Thank you! I spent ages on getting the front done. I used sideways cheese slopes for the headlights like so:
This along with the wheel mounts is an illegal technique (not quite fitted completely).
What do you mean by illegal? How can a technique be illegal?
"Illegal" in the sens that pieces are connected in ways not intended by the designers. An eqample here is the blac brick in th, middle of the engine with studs on either side. The black 1x2 plates with cheese slopes are not completely connected to it, so I would classify it as an illegal technique, since it would not be used in a lego set. Too fragile.
Here is a little infographic with examples I found:
Thank you!
5 studs wide is always challenging. I’m attempting to do some Jimny’s that are Speed Champion scale. This has provided me a lot of inspiration.
This is so cool 10/10
