hmmm nice !!

cool !

thnx ! i hope to instal the brakelines and gasline tomorrow and yes that stuff works great !! .. zo easy and the effect is pretty realisic .. best thing is you can really stick it on any shape and cut it with a knife along lines ..

looking gooood !

hated the top of the dash and the vents i painted silver , so did a partially cloth piece on there , made a paper template and cut the cloth tape pre painted it .. and stuck it on ...

thnx guys and yes partially coming together ... i now can start detail painting and final assembly on the chassis , interiour etc ! thnx !!! dryfit picture from today with daylight gued in the dash and the gauge pod under the dash then it was dark outside , yuup its 20:30 atm over here so the rest of the pics are not that great cant see it all with all the black and artificial light ... but i assembled part of the interiour , put in the cage , steering wheel , seats and center console ... then glued the powerboostvale on the firewall loose dryfit with the engine , i ill put that in tomorrow and get it on its wheels and tyres ...and add the brkelines and fuelline because it was all dark i made some parts chrme like the little electric boxes and window wipermotor , i figured its gasser so some chromed parts would not be that weird also added the master brake cilinder

well i turned that ship around (yeeeyy) sanded some wrinkles down again and sprayed a second coat .. that did it its perfect now ! one spot on the middle of the tank had a chip from sanding a deep spot .. instead of filling that i drilled a hole and made a steel tank plug in there ...(bolt from a toy fingerboard) from a normal distance and as whole , the bars on the axle are chrome again by scraping the paint of , again i need to get some nice tubing to put there instead of those thin thins later then removed the paint of the brass tank straps , bit of a gamble but i love it the schocks have bolts , its actualy a needle pin head i sanded them bare again beats painting .. very loose dryfit with the rollcage , not inside the holes , dont want to scratch the chrome with the seats and center console some parts on the underside will get clear coat to make them shine , some parts chrome ...so there will be variaty ... i hated the outcome this morning but now i'm happy again with the way its turning out

thnx stephen !!

its halfway dry so here are some pics ... first the part that went fine , cloth interiour and the top of the dash came out fine with the seats and center console > rollcage is chrome and with the alu dooorpanels and white edge steering wheel those parts will really pop on the black then the part that went wrong , underside , you see some wrinkeling in places .. on the gasstank i already went over with a damp cuetip to get most wrinkles off and to make sanding later esyer , so i will have to put in some work ... hmmzz i hoped i could start painting stuff tomorrow , like all the smalld etails that need some chrome or silver ..ohh well

dryfit with body and flipfront .. apolstered the interiour wih cloth tape (medical tape) just like on the seats and center console ... on tis picture its all done exept the driver side floor bad news i i just sprayed it all matt back and while the interiour , front chassis+axle all went well and are fine the whole underside had some wrinkling in the paint .. so i will have to sand some stuff later .. dont know what happened

i didnt do a lot this week , just finetuned the small stuff like makin sure it connects on final assembly .. first gave all the calipers a round hollow bar that sticks out and pinted it in the sme gold .. this will house the flexible brakeline from the hard line to the caliper ..did the rear calipers the same used the rubbery flexible mantle from earphone wire going to use that for waterhoses .. glued rods in the connections where the hose slides on , it will thicken there like a hose does irl on the connection point , on final assembly i will add hose clamps ! primed the bottom and base interiour ... and man it really came to life all in primer !! also not a lot of work its all nice and clean stuff like the copper tank straps really still show looks way better then the molded tank straps again stuff that now looks great i made copper straps , brackets around the front axle those looked weird and rough , now in primer i love them stuff like the wires i added on the firewall also came out great ...

stunning ! especially the intake with clear over carbon !!!

stunning !! love it !!! looks sooo good !! are you going to aply a few coats or clear red on those taillights ?? would really make them come to life

yes it can be a paint to get this one together , ounce your pass the point the body needs strectching to clear the interiour it will sit perfect .. its like people said you really need to keep the sides stretched apart going past the interiour panels and yes it can def helf to first slide it in from the rer wheel wells and then guide it ..just never let the body sides rest on the interiour panels without streching them open , the force then will cause the interiour to come apart ...

nice work !!!

my hero !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pfffttt top notch !!! whow !

yeeezzz thats just stunning .. just when i stepped up my game in details ...you do this ....now i have a nother step up to go for loving it !!!

man thats soo cool !!!

whow looks great !!

omg dude !! whow awsome engine details !! love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thnx and yes they dryed clear ...los a bit of the tickness so did a nother run that also dryed cristal clear and the shine is perfect ! i glued it on the dash will post pics later on

made tank straps from copper , looks way better then the molded ones , let them stick over the edge a bit so after paint it will create depth the rods from axle to brace .. still have not found material what has the right thickness it quickly look to massive .. i will have to waight for when i will go to the modelstore and buy some alu or brass tubing thats the right thickness , then cut a section out of the needle pins and slide that in there also need to make nice shocks to replace the ugly styrene things that i put on .. that was working when i was making the set up and ride hight .. now it needs to look more detailed .. i made a 3 pod housing early on in the build , just put ome gauges in there and as a test i put in clear velpon glue ..if i'm correct it will stay clear .. i know it gets real hard when dry .... so i hope it stays clear , beats building up layers with clear varnish .. and yes i know you can buy stuff to make glass or lenses or .. but i'm more of the low budget solutions and like to try new methods

awsome !!! love this !

looks great !
