i made valves by the side.. they don't look like real ones but i'll just let it be that way (took too much time on calipers)

No wait. That is a pic of a real engine that you photo shopped onto your bench.

Just kidding ........ It appears we may need to get advice from you.

This looks great so far and i have yet to see one of these built up in detail on the forum

thanks guys for your kind comments and sorry for the late update. been busy dealing with life :(

it's been a while but not much progress so far.. because figuring out the solution for the door problem took me so long..

here's the 1/12 enzo's most disappointing problem...

enzo87_zps79ee1412.jpg

it is tamiya's engineering problem.. the upper part of the door is too thin to make the right shape

i tried kind of everything i could.. reassembling.. regluing..

this thing had to be done so i can move to the monocoque.. it was pain in the ass!

but i've figured it out.. :D

enzo89_zpsc71e5d89.jpg

holding doors with metal rod, i could finally make it look normal..

i was too happy and tired to take photos of the work... i took doors and panels away now to work on the monocoque..

i'll explain it later with detailed photos..

Chris, Joseph.. i took some pictures for you..

enzo90_zps98248179.jpg

these are metal pipes and pin for wishbone joint i made..

modelup is the hobby shop in korea they have lots of useful stuff... you'd better check it out - www.modelup.co.kr

enzo92_zps29bf507c.jpg

enzo93_zpse792ce4f.jpg

this is the front wishbone and i had to bore up the hole a little.. but it's not a big deal

i hope you guys are satisfied.. :D

Thank you for your suggestion joe. That's exactly what I did. I put some magnets at the bottom part of the door. But the top is too thin to put them on so I fixed the top with metal rod...

looking for the place to put magnets is a little bit tricky. I'll explain how I did it with pictures later

just small update.

enzo101_zpse5660900.jpg

the biggest part of the kit, filling up some seam lines and some modification..

i am thinking of full-carbon monocoque but i'm not sure i'm capable of it

enzo102_zps8e98560c.jpg

enzo103_zpsd6bbbfea.jpg

holder from hobbydesign's p/e set - 7 pieces of part on each holder

enzo105_zps04a21dd2.jpg

there's strange hole on each side for door fix but i filled it up with magnet and covered with glue

that small magnet does not have enough force for holding door so i will add bigger magnets later

enzo106_zps52ded2d8.jpg

enzo107_zps754a2145.jpg

after priming, i found some flaws and marked 'em for correction

it is time consuming and boring work but i think those small works make the model with better quality later..

enzo108_zps3d6b7192.jpg

brake booster.. cut the part out for painting

enzo109_zps5162955c.jpg

enzo110_zpseb444302.jpg

painted with gold+silver and put metal pipe

enzo111_zps1458d55a.jpg
