1992 Otari 346 “BlackOut”
10 fixtures in total and I used some advanced trim on the wheels, hopes that is ok. The stripes is a part of this body.

No way this was made using 10-25 fixtures - I think you used 50 to 100, and made the most of them throughout the build process.

I can point out several places where you could drop fixtures to get into a lower category
categories range up to 100 fixtures…
though that car certainly looks more complex than that

Here’s a 10-fixture starting point for a more detailed build. I was originally planning a 25-fixture version, but decided to reduce the fixture count to 10 when I found that option to also be workable.
I chose the larger of the two Starion body sets (2.64m wheelbase) for this draft build - its shape not only lent itself well to the bottom-breather nose I wanted, but also gelled with my fixture choices (incorporating unitary head- and taillights, i.e. both were made with a single fixture each).
huh i forgot that this existed for a hot minute so i should probably write some reviews

a cute lil truck! very efficient and tasteful use of fixtures (even though it technically has 11). I could see this easily being the start to a very good build were it further fleshed out.

a cute lil truck! pt2. very effective use of the body to make it appear more detailed than it is, however inherent to this body is the massive wheel wells, which look disproportionate to the rest of the car. this is not helped by the car having a very tall ride height.

Epic! I have actually fleshed these two out further (Richard got a full do-over and Benji was already a built out car, I just took bits off) and they are fully integrated into the Takisa brand! They helped me figure out Takisa’s “Friend name” 80s trend
is this still open for submissions?
i mean i never closed it so yeah sure
still need to write out reviews for other cars tho
ok, i should have something out in a 1hr or so
The never ending project car
So you decided that the tired old Japanese coupe sitting in your driveway needed some excitement in its life huh? Several months later and you striped the car down to its bare shell, welded in a rollcage and crammed an American bigblock V8 in the enginebay. Now the once running car sits there while you cry cause you've spent 4 times the value of the car and it still dosent run ... welcome to the Project Car ...
And yes this includes an interior at exactly 10 fixtures.

I refuse to believe the exterior has 10 fixtures.
i could have went for 9 fixtures total but i needed to have that strut bar!
what kinda magic are you pulling off here
is half the car a single fixture?
The exterior including underchassis = 9
The interior = 1
The total = 10
I’ll revive this thread with a 25-fixture build I cooked up recently - the GEC G2S Turbo 2.0.
It’s a reimagining of my CSR121 entry, but with an even more minimalist design to fit the constraints of this challenge - and it could serve as the starting point for a more detailed version.
