    Welcome back to the hobby, this model looks like a great return.

    Beautiful model, wel Done

    Older build the color is Butternut Yellow custom mixed from the factory formula and looks correct in person and matches the Exalta color chip but shows much too yellow in photos.

    Yes. All of the above at times, but mostly small pieces of wet sponge clamped on as a heat sink with small alligator clips it does not take too much of a temperature drop to solve the issue.

    Great start on this one.

    I love this one, such a complete model with every part so well done and cohesive to the theme. You are the man.

    Nice job on this one, the Vega Panel body does present some unique challenges. Well done!

    I can't take and credit for the texture, Revell got it right on this piece, their kit of Prudhomme's Wynn's Winder ( which was a Don Long Chassis) was not all that accurate in most places but there were parts that were close, unfortunately the chassis was not. Hence the building of an accurate chassis in brass to duplicate this car. The paint color took a few tries but having access to the car ( it's fifteen minutes from my house) certainly helped and not just with the paint. And thank you for the kind words Brad it means a lot! P.S. I have added an extra picture.

    Starting to go together, modified kit throttle pedal, steering gear housing ( has to be painted aluminum yet) and modified front spindles are the only parts used out of the kit (Wynn's Winder) that was supposed to be the basis of this project.

    Nicely done
  14. Ian McLaren
    Looking really good

    Now that the chassis is painted and curing I've been working on small parts. Fuel shut off handle, made up of five pieces, tube, rod, nuts, O rings (to be replaced with more nuts once installed) and the cable, oil filters machined aluminum and believe it or not 20 coats of paint to get the correct candy tangerine (original in period HP1s weren't Fram Orange) who knew, you can see the filters on top of the Mobil fuel filler along with the remote filter housing. The fuel pump and shutoff valve assy. ready to plumb. Now working on the throttle linkage (wish these guys had use a cable) The body panels should be White this week.

    Simply amazing! That's all I've got.
  18. Ian McLaren
    Good progress

    I hope you are going for a more conventional belt material, if you show up with a machined aluminum belt with the correct angles, I'm selling all of my modeling BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and taking up Parchese. LOL The scary thing is that I'm pretty sure you might actually be able to pull it off.

    Thank you Daniel, it's been a long haul to this point. The owner of the real car is pleased with where I'm at so that's a good thing and I have learned a ton of new skills doing this one in brass (first time ever) At least from here it's details paint and assembly.
  21. Ian McLaren
    Got the paint on the chassis today.
