Mattilacken Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Incredible scratch building skills you have, not the first time you demonstrate that! That drivetrain will be great!

Dann Tier Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) -Photo 1; There were two reasons for gluing a large strip of super thin styrene to the under side of the roof, and doors...1;It provides extra strength to all the glue joints, and is perfect for creating a lip for windows to attach to. I didnt cut open the windows until after the strips were glued in. -Photo 2; nice lips for windows that ARE stronger than expected. -Photo 3; I cut open area for door handles. -Photo 4; These vents were suprisingly easy to make. -Photo 5; Time to cut open the hood. -Photo 6&7; I needed to thin the NACA duct here for a more realistic look. -Photo 8; I needed to add another belly plate that will help locate the rockers, as well as give them a stronger glue point. -Photo 9&10; In order to create a realistic door sill lip/door stop, i needed to add another strip of styrene to the tops of the sills. -Photo 11; To help locate the rockers, i started the splash guards. -Photo 12; To give a wee bit more room for the exhaust, i needed to cut open this area. -Photo 13; They still need to be cleaned up, but here are the rockers. -Photo 15; They fit like magic! -Photo 16; Ready for the last few bits...then paint!!!

Dann Tier Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I'm on a roll!!, after i clean up these new bits, i can scribe the seams, and cut open the doors, and rear cowl -then paint!! -Photo 1; Time to make stencils for the NACA ducts. -Photo 2; Starting to put the vents in after curving them inward. -Photo 3; All these bits will be trimmed after the glue has dried. -Photo 4; I added the backing to the door handles. -Photo 5&6; Bonnet vent all in. -Photo 7&8; This is the windscreen wiper cover that is molded into the bonnet. -Photo 9&10; Since i dont do replica stock, heres where i'm changing things up...the AMG V8 NO turbo, will be replaced with this AMG V10 twin turbo.

Would love to see you tackle one of these (like you don’t have enough on your bench ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 A great update here...i scribbed all the panel lines, and made the parascope. As of now, its all cleaned, and ready for primer tomorrow! -Note; I still wasnt happy with the wiper cover, so i redid it again -now i'm happy with it.
