Dann Tier Posted August 18, 2020 Author Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Hey, everyone! here is a bit of an update... -Photo 1; This the the part that most people get wrong when trying to build replica stock. This bit needs to be blended into the door -it is not a separate part on the real car. -Photo 2; As you can see from the previous photo as well, i decided to separate the rockers from the body because my scribbing was a total mess, and it was gonna look worse if i kept trying to clean it up. It'll be better this way. I needed to add a strip if styrene for the upper glue, point, and i will add one to the bottom inside edges as well for a really strong/definite contact all-round. -Photo 3; It cant hurt to attach the headlamp base plates at this point....they will get painted easier this way. -Photo 4; The underside of the louvers was the WORST filling nightmare i've ever encountered, but who wanted to have it open?....me. -Photo 5; Cutting open the molded in grill on this kit has ALWAYS been nerve wrecking, but i got it without breaking it. next step for it will be stripping the chrome, then attaching the PE mesh before painting. Note: I will now be able to FINALLY paint the body, and get this build going again! Time for washing, and primering! Edited August 18, 2020 by Dann Tier
beeRS Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Nice work Dann. You are quite correct about the door vents. I’m intrigued to see how you do the little vanes inside. I just picked up Hasegawa’s latest version of the Miura - it comes with photo etched parts. The door vents are much better in that kit with each vane as a separate photo etched part. looking forward to seeing this one in paint.
Spottedlaurel Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Looks like you're going about it in a very thoughtful way, I look forward to seeing it progress.
randyc Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I loved building this kit straight outta the box. Can't wait to see yours completed.

I think I may have some space in the cabinet. I'll check......?

Dann Tier Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 I'm picking up steam again with my projects, so this bugger is back on top again as well....just finished the primer, and i will sand and kolor these bits next.

Twokidsnosleep Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Looking good, nice and smooth grey primer? Summer has less modelling time, but been priming mountain bike frames for my son in a similar prime. Not used a spray can in ages. Edited September 18, 2023 by Twokidsnosleep 1
Dann Tier Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 (edited) Hello everyone. Now that all the body parts are painted, i can add the badging and scripts before i start the clearcoat process. In the last photo, i made a MASSIVE goofup....the ignition isnt on the steering columns on this car. They are to the left of the shift gate. I will either modify, or redo this one.

Bainford Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Nice work, Dan. That's looking fantastic. Can't wait to see it in clear. Looking forward to building one myself, I'm getting some tips from your project. I've got two winging their way over from Japan right now.
