89AKurt Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Dann, that's coming along nicely!  You are using two putties, Milliput and Tamiya, I assume the first is for massive amounts, second for touch up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Bud!, you are right...Milliput for the big jobs, and Tamiya for little jobs like glazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Primer is on, and other than a few pits to fill in, its looking good. The next step will be opening stuff up, starting with the windscreen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capricorn71 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Next step, grille is ready; I also added loudspeaker mesh to the door panel as I would have wanted it. The original round cover does not appeal to me. To do: - door handle & lock - Naca duct front right - chassis frontend, engine compartement - center console - dashboard - taillights - thermoforming mould for all windows  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capricorn71 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Just wow!! AMAZING!  I started with the dashboard. When finished, the chassis will be next to complete.

I think it will be a one-off. I fear the 3D printed parts will be quite expensive. Nobody (except me ? ) would pay so much for a model car. To do a resine kit is to effortful. We will see...

Dann Tier Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hey, everyone!, FINALLY got my PE saws in, and i will be able to get back to this soon. Remember how i said i was gonna SB the engine, then not, and now i've had something happen that tells me how to proceed....A Very good friend of mine gave me a kit that has the perfect motor. Is it the same motor that came in the car? -No.....is it an AMG motor?.....you bet...do i always build the way that its "suppose" to be? -almost never....this will be NO exception. I will change the engine from a V12, to......something smaller, but more powerful, and updated than the original, which means that the rear frame, and suspension May have to be different too -we will see as i move along. Thanks for following along, and thank YOU, Trevor, for this kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
