Dave B Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Whilst building my Interserie 917 my mate turned up with a Bizzarrini 5300GT. It's a filament print, which I prefer while he sorts out his resin printer. The following week he turned up with some resin printed wheels. Just as well because I won't build a model unless I can get the wheels right, tks Phil Anyway with a little work and a dig in my box of resin bits and pieces I have finished the wheels/tyres. The body will take a little longer!! It will be built as the class winning Le Mans '65 car. Tks for looking.

vr1000 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Exciting build, Dave! I have this exact 1:1 car in our garage; let me know if you need pics or dimensions... Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Ok, rightly or wrongly I have inscribed the panel lines, opened a few more vents and generally started tidying the body up but there is a lot more to do. I have also started the interior which I received last night. It came with a standard late model dashboard but I am now able to correct to reflect the car I'm building. Tks a lot Tom. So, no pressure then, I'll just get on with it. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Got the body close to where I want it, modified the dashboard to reflect the car I'm building and have been working on the moulds for the glass I'll need to vacform.

Bainford Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Bizzarini! Too cool. Anxious to see this one come together. Good looking body. Such a radical profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, it came with a flat printed chassis that I may be able to use otherwise it will be aluminium printers plate that I tend to use on all my kerbsides.

Dave B Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 I've finally got the body about where I want it and thought I had finished the interior when I noticed the rear parcel shelf should be flat. Remade that and have decided to leave it separate to enable fitting the brake ducts under the rear window. Have vacformed the glass and should be ready to assemble shortly.

Pierre Rivard Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I did not think you could have done so good with the body looking at what it was at the start. You've put immense work into it and it really turned out great. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Agreed. That body shell looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave B Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Just been trial fitting the interior, rear shelf and newly vacformed rear window. All looks good so I'll be epoxying the rear shelf in and working on the brake ducting and fuel pipe. Tks for your comments. Dave B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave B Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) Ok, I'm a happy little vegemite, I've just finished what I always thought would be the hardest part of this build. Still lots to do but it's downhill from here. Thanks for your encouragement guys. Dave B Edited July 30, 2023 by Dave B typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Wonderful looking model Dave. May I suggest to add panel line to accentuate the door & hood openings and perhaps a wash on the wheels to add a bit of depth effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
