    Tim, I also think you should be checking into flights to Salt Lake for your project. My passport is ready and if you and Francis were going to be there I will certainly show up as well to see both of these models.

    Very clean and well done model, closer to the original design esthetic and the paint scheme really works. Nicely DONE.
  8. Ian McLaren
    Great project, and building and designing everything for it puts you firmly in the shoes of the original builder and increases your knowledge of these cars and gives you an appreciation of the effort involved. Well done!

    Great color, nice paint, excellent subject matter you are off to a strong start

    I've been curious about this kit, I love Tamiya the basic kit is so well engineered and molded that you can work on additions knowing the foundation is solid and square. I will be following this one with interest.
  11. Ian McLaren
    Then I humbly suggest you get on that, This is an important model
  12. Ian McLaren
    I have to agree, this model needs to be there.

    Ron thank you for the kind words, I was genuinely impressed with your FD100 project,and will also be following your progress.
  14. Ian McLaren

    Very cool, well done.

    Looks good, love the subject matter, hard to go wrong with a black CJ Torino.

    I've never seen one of these kits but it certainly looks like an interesting project. I really like the mods your doing, impressive work. I'll be keeping an eye on this one

    I just found this thread, your are doing amazing work here Ron. Very precise and cleanly built, and I'm looking forward to seeing additional post on this project. Also picking up some great tips from you, well done!

    Thanks Tim. Having access to all these photos of the real car is a double edge sword. It's awesome for research but it also dictates a level of fidelity that can be challenging. I'm not complaining, just saying.
  21. Ian McLaren
    Thank you Bruce this one has been a challenge at times.
  22. Ian McLaren
    Thank you Jim for the kind words, it's been a long project but the end is in sight

    Yes I just added the windscreen to it and now have to square up the front top edge as per the original. I may have to redo it as I don't think I have enough rake on the front face. Squareing the upper edge is going to help but it may not be enough.

    Thank you Francis The oil filters are mounted upside down right in front of the engine in this car and in full view, they had to be correct. As for the cowl I just used Mercury Adhesives medium Cyanoacrylate, but I rough up the mating surfaces with 180 grit to give it extra tooth for mechanical adhesion. If I would have had access to structural body adhesive I would have used that. It's just too expensive when you can no longer and borrow some from one of the techs in the back shop. No hammering at all on this, just spooned all of the curved transitions. Actually I'll take that back, the bead on the leading edge was formed with a tiny hammer.

    Finishing off the cowl for the Royal Canadian, all aluminum hand formed now with the windscreen attached. The wind screen will feature an engine turned effect once painting is completed.
