crazyrichard Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) i got the idea to louvre the trunk , some revel kits have 2 versions .. this one did not have that .. i had some left over sides of hoods from revel kits with louvres ... it would have been easy to work them into the trunk but then i would end up with what revell makes .. i wanted something more rough and .... the sides of the hood , started flat and the other one is already bend a tiny bit , i kept bending them untoll i got them in the shape of the trunk i made a small visor on the front so i can ,et the wood frame i am going to make sit against that used parts of the roof of my real woody build now the horizontal seem will be gone , i want to make it one piece and add rivits on the sides so it looks like put on panels , bit rough also want to make sunken taillights in the lower part and maybe in the middle a fuel filler neck / gasscap sticking out so still rough but you get the idea Edited January 31, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 thnx !! well this udate really shows the idea i had in mind with this rear end first flattened the bondo then the exiting part , this can easely go wrong , i first messured 3 times and drilled with a much smaller drill and then made 2 big holes lol ... they seem very big right ? but thats because i took 2 bezels from lego out of my sons box (my old lego) and cut it to become light houses , rewd lenses can be placed behing or on this all together the proportions look good , i will bondo slighly aroiund the edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) thnx all much apriciated and whow tukkerdax is here he must post his diorama's , this guy has awsome skills and jist sratch work is amazing ! the color of this rod is going to be bronze metallic i added a round piece of styrene and drilled trhough the body , so later i can make a detailled scratch steering rod the it was time for primer still a bit wet on the pics , the edge of the trunk panels need work still but its fairly smooth already overall Edited February 1, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 started on the roof frame > made a plug that fit perfect , first made out of cartboard and then from styrene then made a outeredge from that , the inside line on this pic is still rough , not done out of loose srips of wood i covered the styrene plug edge and trimmed it so it looked like one piece while building it looked alright but then ... hmmm looks to massive and big , with the right wood weathering it can become less bulky but still rounded the edges a bit then i got the idea to turn it upside down and get the styrene edge on top .. what i can do now is make a nother edge like this that runs onto the body edge and work that on the body and make it one piece . then that obviously would get painted with the body then i can slide the wood panel in there on to the edge after paiting the inside would look like this then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) There are two aspects of this build which appeal to me tremendously. One is the precision of the plastic fabrication. Examples at this level are such a pleasure to see and remind me what is achievable with sufficient practice and skill. I will almost regret it when you actually paint this project! The other is the stance and proportion of the overall car. It really is exceptionally successful. Thanx for sharing!

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Looks great. As Bernard said, fine craftsmanship, good stance and proportions, imaginative, innovative work on the decklid and other aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) whow thnx guys well tbh props to this forum because since i came here it really inspired me and made me think about adding more details.. and i really am > still learning , but seeing stuff here made me just more exited and wanting to push the envelope so again props to this awsome forum i just tried the plans i had for a outer edge but quicly saw it wasnt that nice ... so i wanted to try and make something of this frame if it failed make a new one .. first tried to make something that resembles a pen and hole connection (dont know how you call that) drilled small holes and put a wood meet stick with the pint in (glued) and flattened it the whole frame is still rough and needs a lot of sanding , also will ad a black wash so that go's in the wood grain and then sand it again so the top is lighter and that way there will be some depth in the wood instead of one pain color drileld some holes in teh center as a line just to make the thing look more interesting , imo it really makes it lighter visually also the frame is slightly sunken that also creates depth in comparison to fluch with the outer edge now i got a new idea and i want to try and make some rails on the side and make a rolled up canvas roof , like real canvas rolled to the back , maybe some straps on it .. but tonight i have a birthday to go to and tomorrow we are celebrating my wife;s birth day so no painting for me this weekend Edited February 2, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very nice. What I like about your work is that you spend a lot of time thinking and planning, trying to make things look right in your minds eye. That's the definition of an artist! It's fun to watch your process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
