Pico Posted July 18, 2019 Author Posted July 18, 2019 Plug, made from epoxy putty, for vacuum forming the rear window. I squish it into the opening, then carve and sand it to shape.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I didn't know this car existed until you started this project. I think it's the most beautiful of all the road-going Ferraris. Always inspiring to watch a master working, someone who has the old-school sculptural skills as well as CAD and 3D printing capability. Fine, fine, fine.

Pico Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 Fits well but needs some refining around the edges.
Pico Posted July 26, 2019 Author Posted July 26, 2019 Time to make the bumpers. I'm using what is called high density urethane. It's not high density unless you compare it to styrofoam. I have since gotten some renshape which is twice as dense and will be better suited, but a bit harder to work.

Pico Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 A light coat of gray primer to sand and refine the body.
Gramps46 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Looks really good so far. Please keep us posted.

I used what is called high density urethane. But it is high density only in relation to styrofoam, it is actually not very dense. The reason that I'm using it is I was never able to find any reasonably priced Renshape on ebay; until recently. I'm now using the Renshape on another project and it's much superior. Don't use this urethane, I've found finger nails will mar the surface.
Gramps46 Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks for the update Pico. It is really looking good.
Eric Macleod Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 This is quite an impressive peice of work. Oh...to have the skills you have!
