Belugawrx Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Interesting .. that's a nasty looking bit .. never seen one like that before. Yep it will tear stuff UP! IIRC it came in an offshore set from Canadian tire along with the ball reamer, and the spiral cylinder bit,.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jose They were one of those things you think you can make , and halfway thru you look down at the tiny pieces in your hands and say ... "WTH am I doing"!.....Those are 6 pieces of plastic and solder, scraped, thinned, warmed, rolled, reamed, glued,drilled,sanded,.... Now for the fun bit of running all the lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Ferrari 250 GTO The plastic hinges have been replaced with "standard" brass ones. I really like how well the hood fits on this. I decided to try some ferrules to replace the thick kit intake pipes after some suggestions on a thread here. I was able to order some in the exact size of the largest and smallest diameters of the kit ones but they will have to be shortened. I'm debating how I will do this as they are very thin, but they look more realistic than the kit ones. I think I'll have to flatten the bell which seems to have been done on the 1:1 according to photos online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Great work everyone. I am going to pick up my other Smart tomorrow and get back on it. I think I may be able to use both bodies ,one a sleeper and one that isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. The trick is, to make it unnoticeable. First update- KINDLE_CAMERA_1423120654000.jpg The doors are cut open an the engine is a Ferrari Enzo V-10 Per the rules on Page 1, we need to see a pic of the unstarted kit or whatever pile-o-parts you're using.

ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Well the engine wouldn't fit so, instead of finding another that would work I made it rear engined! Edited February 14, 2015 by ProStreetOnTheStrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well my trip got postponed for two weeks so I got my build back out. I finished the scratch building for the Pacer rear suspension. Panhard bar. Traction bars And the shock absorber mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Sorry to hear that man. That really sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoyKuztoms Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It does, but what can you do. I'll just have to start over. So as of this point I'm going to remove myself from the community build till I can get things figured out. Heck I have a model car show coming up, maybe I'll pick something up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 My project is in stall mode at the moment. I scored a '69 Jeepster buildup and couldn't wait to start on it. Everything's ready for primer. It'll just be painting and detailing when I get back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoyKuztoms Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It was, found out my neighbor fell asleep with a lit cigarette on his couch and it caused the apartment complex to go up in flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This is one of those times, Michael, when modeling is a very small matter. I'm sure you lost things more precious. My GF lost everything but family and animals in a house fire so I understand your loss. However, if modeling helps bring some normalcy back, then all the better.
