Making dust!

Thanks for the info, Bob.

Air Trax is located in Finland. I am not aware that they did any work for RMCM. I doubt it. Work proceeds with black primer to locate low and high spots.

This neat little coupe was mastered by Tapani Rauramo of Air Trax. It was built on their Fiat 508 " Ballila" spyder. Bodywork now, this will be a quickie build, maybe 2 weeks.

My next project.

Completed!

Good YT video on the Norseman:

Nearing the completion.

Interior is happening.

I think the backs of the seats are an aluminum "pan"; here replicated with Rub'n Buff silver.

Fitting interior.

I've been wondering about this, also, but have not contacted anyone about it. I just did a search for 3D scanning services and found this: Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online | Freelancer . I did a search at this site for a freelancer to do a high quality scan of a model car body and produce a stl file; the information from this site indicated that it could be done for $15-25 per hour; which sounds very doable to me. I have used freelancer sites previously to design bodies for me; most recently to design my Chrysler Norseman model. Check it out it WIP - model cars.

Clearcoat!

Tasty!

I have decided the sage green interior color that I originally used did not mix well with the light turquoise exterior color, so I mixed a matching interior color; an image of which I posted yesterday. In the interior door panel, there is a concave panel that I think is made of aluminum with a burnished finish. In this posted image there appears to be a softer finish to that area than the surrounding upholstery. I think the back of the seats are made of the same material. I have used Rub'n Buff silver to replicate that look.

Fusion 360 is an excellent CAD program with a free hobbyist version. I have frequently recommended it to younger model builders because it is a professional software program for design work and has a CAM program for making toolpaths for CNC machining. With manufacturing returning to our nation, you will be in an excellent position for a great job with the knowledge gained from learning Fusion 360. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

For those of you wondering how to do this, as Quiet Eric did in the above post, it is necessary to have a STL file. The files you buy from Humster or sites that sell files used in rendering an image are not usable to make a print and it is necessary to modify them to a STL file type. This requires a CAD (computer aided design) program and knowledge about how to do that. The learning curve is fairly steep but worth it. I suggest the best place to gather that knowledge is to go to Facebook and look up Bill Geary's "Digitalsurgeon". He posts daily about his work and it is first class. He also has a YouTube channel: Plastiksurgeon - YouTube. So get off your rearends and make something wonderful.

Grille lookin' good.

More BMF.

BMF turned out very well.

BMF!

Beginning to look good.

Paint!
