Rich Chernosky Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Dann...nice to see you back at this project. Your suspension and accessories work is superb. You treat each piece as a seperate model and it is showing. Big scale models take a ton of work but are always very impressive. Whenever I do a show its the fist thing people comment on if i take one. You will find over the years that the suspension on your kit is very stout and will stand the test of time. Mine has so far.

Dann Tier Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Hey, everyone!, i'm back at this Beast!....continuing on with the front end bonnet work -got a bunch of bits made, and ready for paint!! -Photo 1&2; The black bit is whats suppose to be the heater blower unit....as you can see, it was wrong in EVERY single way, so i made my own. -Photo 3; This is the windshield washer fluid container i made -needs a cap later. -Photo 4; I decided to make the often overlooked A/C condenser unit. -Photo 5; This is all you get for a horn... -Photo 6; ...this is what you shoulda got... -Photo 7&8; These are the master cylinder bits you get in the kit...not bad, but i still needed to modify them for realism. -Photo 9-11; Here i made the climate control valve unit. -Photo 12-14; I decided to upgrade the battery, and make my own realistic side-mount clamps on standard posts. -Photo 15; Here is my brake line proportionating valve. There are several, but this will be the only visible/main one. -Photo 16; And lastly, i made the brake booster vacuum line plug.

Dann Tier Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Hey, everyone!, heres another little update; -Photo 2; To add more realism, i decided to mask, and paint things in a way that looks like the parts have fluids in them....the following photos are how i did it.... -Photo 3; Battery cells...brake fluid, and washer fluid... -Photo 6; I painted opaque white wherever the plastic is the thickest, then over-sprayed the entire bit until the desired transluscency was achieved. -Photo 7; I'm pretty stoked with how they turned out!....next two steps will be decals, then semi gloss clear coat -then i get to put them all into the bonnet compartment!!
