Thhanks, Chad!, I try to just use styrene from Evergreen, or Plastruck as much as possible when I scratchbuild. the screws are photo-etch.   By the way; hows your Pagani going?

What do you mean, Pat??….and thank you, I was hoping this build would help, and inspire people to build this kit with confidence...

When we see work of that order, we're wondering whether we should just be watching instead of building.

It's going great! It's 98% done I will have her finish in a day or so with updated pictures.

Hi,

Well I have this kit and am watching, taking notes.

I will definitely apply what Professor Dann has taught us, that is when I get around to building this kit  

I would not be surprised if some one from Aoshima was taking note of this rather lovely build.

Lol......i'm not a professor, just someone who LOVES to create art!!  I'm glad you have the kit, and that I can help.....I could feel everyones frustration, and I knew I could help.  I am actually going to send MANY photos to Aoshima to show them how it shoulda been done, and i'm even contemplating sending photos to Heracio himself. If he only knew how this kit was designed, I think he would be shocked......

[Dann Tier]

Well, I had one of those days that while sanding those tiny cowl, and door catches, I broke them. Its all good though, because the new ones look even better!!….here they are....

[Dann Tier]

Got a bunch more done tonight,  all I have left to do before I paint the body, is to etch both sides of the gas-fill door, assemble the kit provided factory hinges, and make the brackets for the micro-magnets on the rear cowl!!!

[Funkychiken]

I'm still amazed at those door catches, I can't understand how you made them out of plastistruct...

 

Good progress!

Thanks, Atin!, let me know if you want me to post step-by-step photos of how I made my door catches, and I will

[Funkychiken]

That's fine Dann, I'm just mind blown at how small they are! Thanks...

It's simple...he has that machine from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". He shrinks himself to 1/48th scale, makes the now HUGE parts, and returns to normal to post the progress.

LMAO...….you got me!!

Hey, everyone!, Great news; I finally have the last bits done that allows me to start actually painting the body parts!!  Here I have the front, and rear cowl hinges together.....I had to create the shock-ends with styrene rod, and I added styrene "rings" to the rear splash guards, so that the micro magnets I glued to the ends of plastic rods, can adjust up, and down to get the right gapping with the rear bumper. Just glue still when you get that proper gapping!   My next move is painting the body!!!
