crazyrichard Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 went on with the float , drilled the hole bigger and glued in a aircraft wheel ... then made the base of the pump with brass and aluminium tubing made a copper baseplate for the pump that could be welded on somewhere and then made tiny copper straps brass in the float center made holes for electric wiring and tiny brass wire glued in now because after paint i cant get them glued without making a mess where the witing gos into the float that needs to be cleaned up all together ery rough to get an idea ... also shows the size better then on the close ups , it seemd bog and rougher on pics above these show it how it looks irl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogfish_7 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Do you disassemble, paint and then reassemble? Or go back in and detail paint each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Your attention to detail is amazing! Your patience must be unbelievable!thnx .. and well tbh in the past i also lcked the patience to really go on andd on with all details .. every build and after a while when you get that detail virus and seee other people here .. you get the drive to stick with it and keep adding .. this is my most detailed model ever ..and i'm really enjoying this build !Do you disassemble, paint and then reassemble? Or go back in and detail paint each?well some parts are already glued together , like the base chassis with axle and stuff ... then the flip front is separate and the body itself is separate ...on this build its actually a giant puzzle , i have never taken so much time pre-fabricating parts and make it so the way it mounts is so i have hidden spots where i can glue it on ...the whole interiour is pre-painted and fits in a certain way ..to really awnser your question most small details are all loose and will be put on after painting the chassis.. so the fuel pump is loose ns also not even the spot it will sit on eventually .. i like it on the tank but mybe not that realistic .. could be like the plate is welded on the tank ...that said my previous builds where almost all together and i painted all the details afterwards . i must say that worked great as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 so i found a good location for the fuell pump ... i could put it on the other side of the black brace .. going to decide that on te final assembly then made brackets for a brakeline , went with a single line and split it in the back , using brass smooth wire then needed to puzzle with the brackets on the axle it was impossible to run a cool over the axcle line with brackets or clips .. so i made a splitter in front of the axle on the underfloor bit big but that will be painted with the whole floor in black so it wont stick out .. fun thing is how i'm running the brakeline .. same location as the tiny molded line from revell very rough set up just so i know that it will fit i'm putting the brakeline in the middle of the caliper bit like this > fits the best and clears everything nicely visible with the wheel on , now thi is rough on final assembly there witth be fittings and bushes added , just need to know everything fits together before painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) made tank straps from copper , looks way better then the molded ones , let them stick over the edge a bit so after paint it will create depth the rods from axle to brace .. still have not found material what has the right thickness it quickly look to massive .. i will have to waight for when i will go to the modelstore and buy some alu or brass tubing thats the right thickness , then cut a section out of the needle pins and slide that in there also need to make nice shocks to replace the ugly styrene things that i put on .. that was working when i was making the set up and ride hight .. now it needs to look more detailed .. i made a 3 pod housing early on in the build , just put ome gauges in there and as a test i put in clear velpon glue ..if i'm correct it will stay clear .. i know it gets real hard when dry .... so i hope it stays clear , beats building up layers with clear varnish .. and yes i know you can buy stuff to make glass or lenses or .. but i'm more of the low budget solutions and like to try new methods Edited March 6, 2016 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Those lenses look GREAT! I hope they dry clear, like you say, they look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 i didnt do a lot this week , just finetuned the small stuff like makin sure it connects on final assembly .. first gave all the calipers a round hollow bar that sticks out and pinted it in the sme gold .. this will house the flexible brakeline from the hard line to the caliper ..did the rear calipers the same used the rubbery flexible mantle from earphone wire going to use that for waterhoses .. glued rods in the connections where the hose slides on , it will thicken there like a hose does irl on the connection point , on final assembly i will add hose clamps ! primed the bottom and base interiour ... and man it really came to life all in primer !! also not a lot of work its all nice and clean stuff like the copper tank straps really still show looks way better then the molded tank straps again stuff that now looks great i made copper straps , brackets around the front axle those looked weird and rough , now in primer i love them stuff like the wires i added on the firewall also came out great ...

crazyrichard Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 its halfway dry so here are some pics ... first the part that went fine , cloth interiour and the top of the dash came out fine with the seats and center console > rollcage is chrome and with the alu dooorpanels and white edge steering wheel those parts will really pop on the black then the part that went wrong , underside , you see some wrinkeling in places .. on the gasstank i already went over with a damp cuetip to get most wrinkles off and to make sanding later esyer , so i will have to put in some work ... hmmzz i hoped i could start painting stuff tomorrow , like all the smalld etails that need some chrome or silver ..ohh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 well i turned that ship around (yeeeyy) sanded some wrinkles down again and sprayed a second coat .. that did it its perfect now ! one spot on the middle of the tank had a chip from sanding a deep spot .. instead of filling that i drilled a hole and made a steel tank plug in there ...(bolt from a toy fingerboard) from a normal distance and as whole , the bars on the axle are chrome again by scraping the paint of , again i need to get some nice tubing to put there instead of those thin thins later then removed the paint of the brass tank straps , bit of a gamble but i love it the schocks have bolts , its actualy a needle pin head i sanded them bare again beats painting .. very loose dryfit with the rollcage , not inside the holes , dont want to scratch the chrome with the seats and center console some parts on the underside will get clear coat to make them shine , some parts chrome ...so there will be variaty ... i hated the outcome this morning but now i'm happy again with the way its turning out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmodelmaker Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Everything looks great. Love the way you did the brake lines and gas tank. And I'm stealing your idea of cloth tape for interior areas. I'm also using it for the inside hood liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) thnx !i hope to instal the brakelines and gasline tomorrowand yes that stuff works great !! .. zo easy and the effect is pretty realisic .. best thing is you can really stick it on any shape and cut it with a knife along lines ..

Nytrozilla Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nice stuff there sir. Paper tape is like BMF for the interior. And the roof. And under the hood. And in the trunk. And for wrapping parachutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
