Time to switch this one up a bit too!, like my other builds, i want to finish and paint ALL of the interiors that i'm working on now....at the same time. -It looks a mess, but i will fix it all up. I got the seats from the parts bin, the foot peddles from a Fujimi Countach kit, and the steering wheel is from a Testors Lamborghini Sihlouette kit. I will first sand, and clean up all the patrs as individuals, then attach, and SB a new tranny tunnel....let the hacking-up begin!!

This build is starting to pick up momentum! -Photo 1; Filler kept sanding out....even CA glue wasnt filling them. When i get stubborn seams that need to be filled in, i will super glue VERY thin styrene over the spot...add more glue all around it, then sand it smooth after its dry -works a treat! -Photo 2; In order to move along on the interior work, i needed to add a shifter base. Next will be adding vents to the dash top, re-scribing the door card seams, and making the rear seat look like its NOT part of the parcel tray. -Photo 3&4; As you can see, the headers are still gonna work GREAT!!...just need to curve them a tiny bit to touch the heads.

Hey, everyone!, i'm feeling like working on the easiest bit now -the interior, lol -Photo 1; This is a bit missed by most people...the interior padding goes all the way to the A-pillar. After removing the upright, i have a section of padding from a second kit that i will splice in. -Photo 2; The bench in the real car is actually raised up a bit, so i will be fixing that issue. -Photo 3; I will do my usual work to make the seats look more "cushiony". The arrows point to the areas that need to be scribed. Since i have a bunch of spare seats, i will be separating the backs from them, and adding the more realistic details....i'm really looking forward to that bit!.

Hey, everyone!....my mesh idea was a success! -Photo 1; After attaching mesh that was the closest i could find to match the vents, i proceeded to attach square styrene rod to the perimeter of it. I was lucky to have the pre-made size that matched the trim around the other vents. You can also see my starting points for gluing them on. Once these points of contact were dry, i moved along with the same technique. -Photo 2; Here i added the vertical bits...once fully dry, i sniped off the ends, and used CA glue to fill all the joints. -Photo 3; I think it looks more Miura than just painting the area....again, once dry, i will sand the joints to blend them all in.

Thanks alot too, Bud!!...we can all inspire each other!......you've given me some great ideas as well!!

Hey, everyone!, ALL the bits to this kit will be painted today after i figure out something about the black space between the rear vents. I know its suppose to be reminiscant of the Miuras rear mesh, but why not take it a step further, and make it mesh also?!! The "real deal" photos show the look i will be going for...a lighter tan interior though. Most of these interiors are done crazy, but i'm not keen on that...i like simplicity the best. -Photo 1; In my mind, if i was gonna copy the original Miura, i wouldnt just have black paint connecting the rear vents, i would have MESH!...so i will! -Photo 2; To more closely resemble the original, i will also NOT be adding gold to the front fascia. -Photo 3&4; This is how i want my interior to look, but with a lighter beige. -Photo 5&6; Its always a better idea to make vent stencils BEFORE you paint the body....the less you need to handle it, the less chance of messing something up!

I woulda had a bunch of this in paint by now, if it werent for the fact that the new bottle of CA glue i used on it wasnt expired, so i had to redo, and fill stuff again...then i found more details to add, lol.....after ANOTHER session of final sanding, i WILL have paint on the body, and most of the rest of the parts -by midnight. Heres what i've added; -Photo 1; I decided to attach the tie rod, since it would be easier, and safer to paint, since the plastic is a brittle, clear type. I will add further details to it after its been painted. -Photo 2; The real car has a U-joint shaft between the two differentials, so i needed to carefully snip this one out, and add a better one. I aso decided to add the new spindles to the ends of the axle. -Photo 3; ...fits Perf!! I also decided to upgrade the other two driveshafts -they werent good. -Photo 4; I needed to filler the contact pins... -Photo 5; its looking good! -Photo 6; Still needed a bit of putty. -Photo 7; I felt like i needed to add these two angled frame pieces, and after the putty is dry, i will sand, and paint it. -Photo 8; After braking the front framework, i decided it too needed upper frame supports. I felt stupid for not thinking i would need them anyway, but i caught it in time. -Photo 9; Square rod is my cleaver way at alligning, and tying down my re-routed exhaust pipes. -Photo 10; The frame has had a VERY slight twist to it from the begining, and i have carefully, and subtly adjusted it along the way. This is one of three solid/sure contact/glue points that will totally finish eliminating the twist. The interior tub contact will be made first, then this rear one, and finally followed up by the fronts. -Photo 11&12; Something i like to do, is to measure out, and drill little divits wherever i need to locate a part before the the glues dry, and so i dont have to keep moving the bit into proper placement.
