Right up my alley with this build, LOVE IT!!!!! You have done a fantastic job here

Corona Light put to good use Should be a stunner when done

Really cool, I am excited for you too you are dealing this in to perfection Just remember to keep safe and wear some eye protection. Stupid things happen really quickly, especially when one is excited about a new tool...don't ask me how I know

Just hang on to her man, the spare time will come again and then you will want it again or send it to me

Thanks for showing us. Always good to see a well built Pocher Classic....it gives the three I have boxed up in the stash hope

Cool stuff, Eric, really cool She appears to be in very capable hands for the repair Like the see a couple pics how she finishes off before you return her.

My vote is to go for it as well, looks like a reputable seller with multiple units and a great sale price BUT I understand a money crunch...try building a house in a housing boom gheese Life never makes our choices easy, does it. This kit might get your building mojo back online as well.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the messages We can find a lot of stuff, sometimes from weird or unexpected sources, that can be used for a car build. I am getting there with this one, trying not to bore everyone with small progress pics. Seat is cemented, dash and firewall as well. Made the rear brake lines and attached them to the axle. Was working on the throttle linkage tonight to add some realism to the engine bay. The body is not attatched just yet, still some time to fiddle with fit and get some details in. I did manage to get a CA glue thumbprint on the back boattail of the body...dead centre top too. It has been wet sanded and the gloss is drying. Few steps forward and then some more back

Oohhhhh, that's pUUURdy

She is coming along Briz

Never had my mitts on the stuff, but the theory is it makes the Corsa Red for Ferrari really pop. Similar base coat colour allows even, smooth coverage perhaps I wanna get some and try myself...looking forward to hear where it came from as well

This is a fun E Bay win.....you get a lot of parts and can make a really cool pit display with your current build extra tires engine etc

So double wrapped the wire and silver soldered both ends. Larger diameter looks better and the single diameter will be good for the safety wire I have some of the computer wires as well...they are a bit too thin and floppy for this application (i.e. they droop) but useful elsewhere

Your silence was deafening!!! Every time I looked at the wires, I heard your voice in the back of my head...."those should be braided" well, because, really, they SHOULD be braided Used a simple winding technique with of two wires, they seem to hold together well as long as not overwound and kinked...then it breaks. I could silver solder I suppose at the ends. I will get some pics up soon, just a bit busy and currently fighting with wheel hub fitments Edit: now I look at that great reference photo you posted and see the gauge difference with the brake line and the safety wire..so I am glad I did the braided the cords and will use the single strand as safety wire

I broke down the brake lines and rethreaded them so they are braided...just intertwined two lengths It looks better, could just hear the unbearable silence over those skinny wires I have saved myself from Skip-harrasment

I always like looking in on your builds...waiting for the curveball on this one. OOB is not your typical style

Thank you sir I make no claim on the originality of that idea. Our own Skip Jordan suggested to me a year or so ago watch parts as dashboard accents, switches etc. You can find them on E Bay very inexpensive http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5g-VINTAGE-WATCH-Parts-Bits-HO-Model-Train-Slag-TINY-Sprinkle-Steampunk-Confetti-/201508597032?hash=item2eead92d28:g:RQoAAOSwpRRWoXy4

Stringing brake cables for the front wheels Watch parts for the mechanism Scrap wire for the cable....sorry Skip it isn't braided Putting it all together

Stunning, absolutely stunning Another great build for you

Nice clean build, especially at that scale Master-ful work!!

Love it, great job!!!

Thanks Bruce, good hearing from you

The plastic linkages are really weak and prone to breakage. I want to be able to solder or screw them where I can One of the plastic front wheel assemblies did a little creak/crack as I tightened it and I am awaiting a disaster there So to make a long answer short...Why: to torture myself, practice scratch building and make it stronger

Loving the nod to the Gulf livery...a favorite colour scheme very cool
