When we see work of that order, we're wondering whether we should just be watching instead of building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurfalien Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hi, Well I have this kit and am watching, taking notes. I will definitely apply what Professor Dann has taught us, that is when I get around to building this kit I would not be surprised if some one from Aoshima was taking note of this rather lovely build.

Lol......i'm not a professor, just someone who LOVES to create art!! I'm glad you have the kit, and that I can help.....I could feel everyones frustration, and I knew I could help. I am actually going to send MANY photos to Aoshima to show them how it shoulda been done, and i'm even contemplating sending photos to Heracio himself. If he only knew how this kit was designed, I think he would be shocked...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Well, I had one of those days that while sanding those tiny cowl, and door catches, I broke them. Its all good though, because the new ones look even better!!….here they are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Got a bunch more done tonight, all I have left to do before I paint the body, is to etch both sides of the gas-fill door, assemble the kit provided factory hinges, and make the brackets for the micro-magnets on the rear cowl!!!

It's simple...he has that machine from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". He shrinks himself to 1/48th scale, makes the now HUGE parts, and returns to normal to post the progress.

Dann Tier Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hey, everyone!, Great news; I finally have the last bits done that allows me to start actually painting the body parts!! Here I have the front, and rear cowl hinges together.....I had to create the shock-ends with styrene rod, and I added styrene "rings" to the rear splash guards, so that the micro magnets I glued to the ends of plastic rods, can adjust up, and down to get the right gapping with the rear bumper. Just glue still when you get that proper gapping! My next move is painting the body!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
