Damn! I was searching for a year on it but could not find it. Back to CAD..

I got some paint on some parts as well as the body. The body need touch up and a roof sand down due to an accident and some spotting. Dash has gotten a two tone color with black vinyl top.

I went ahead and made a Fuzzbuster Elite II, if anyone is interested for the file just send me a PM

Ooo look at those flares now after a second lap of sanding and primer.

Great looking builds!

First primer.

Sweet build

Yes, stretched spruce actually. I hold them on with one hand and tac it with Tamiya thin glue quick setting and that works good. I did the same on the headrest many times but with some careful sanding it came out good! sure you can! I guess two priests in a Ferrari didn’t have extra tanks either!

My plan was to prime today… but I got carried away with interior work. Sets are upgraded as well as the dash have received a radio and heater controls and new vents.

Nice progress! Will be following!

Could this be an option? Available in different sizes. https://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p968_auxiliary-headlights-6mm--chrome-plated--set-of-8-.html

So i believe the MB body is ready to go to paint, or at least primer! I had to make the opening for the hood smaller after opening it, and it was not a straight forward ad two strips and done, but I needed to fill in one spot and remove in an other but I am happy with it. I have also went over all flares several times with both CA and fine putty and they feel and look smooth. Will se if it looks good after primer or if I have to battle on here are some pics of a body in white!

Got a F1 visit in the garage. Ralph Schumacher’s Jordan 197 from 1997 and Max Verstapen’s RB19. And man the RB19 is huge when comparing it to the old gen car.

Thanks! But i can’t take credit for the Red bull since that’s a Burago diecast 🙂

I went to my local toy store to pick up a gift to one of my kid’s friends and came a cross this Burago 1/24 RB19 and just had to gett it! And for the first time i realized how big they are. The 1997 Jordan look like a toy!

Thanks Carl!

Nice start! My 2 cents ors that it could be a bit lower but that’s just one mans opinion 🙂

Looks super sergey!

It’s an epic looking livery, so striking in many ways! Thanks! Jes I saw that and I have now ordered two sets, one for Ronny’s lotus 78 in 1:20 scale and one made for the BMW 635csi which have the similar proportions as this one. The 1:20 should be around 25% bigger but since a f1 is so small I thought that it might work with some at least. Worst case, which might be easier in the end, I know there is 0,5mm masking tape for curves that I could use.

I have always wanted to make a garage diorama, so much that me and a friend bought the fujimi kit back in early ‘00s. A while back I bought a backdrop from Scale production and now when working on my MB I wanted to take a photo in the backdrop but it felt strange to just put it on the ground so I started by making the lift and some other equipment. And now I have started I will continue😁 I even scarped a bike together from parts in my PB just to have some thing in the background.

I was watching a documentary when building to night about The Super Swede, Ronnie Pettersson, a great guy and a great driver that where faster than his teammate Andretti. But ended tragically in 1978. So in 1975 he would have been in his prime and been needing to blow of some steam! So I might, if I find a way to do the classic lotus and J&P black and gold paintjob and maybe go with some decals even though I know it won’t be subtle when beeing perused by Smokey. Shaping of the body is coming along but nothing to show yet really.

Super neat chevelle! I have had the same problem with lugnuts before i got a printer. after that it has never been an issue again I just print some!

Neat sectioning! and that tecunice seems good! What i have com to use latley is CA and bakingpowder/bikarbonat. That makes for a stong bond as well and wont usaly break of that easily.

Thats Great! Could you please ad the ad here in the tread, would be greatly arpriciated! What else would you ahe needed, a CB and A Fuzzbuster, Laser jamer? Binoculars?
