Drago Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Hello friends. I would like to start another building in this forum saying that I really appreciate this space. I hope I can count on you guys and get help from everyone and be able to change a lot of information. Well, the kit is from AMD. Estou com muitas referências e o manual da BT44 1:12 da Tamiya do lado. Estou seguindo ambos os manuais. Isto porque quero fazer um modelo bem detalhado e na verdade quero fazer com o castelo e o bico soltos. Então, o manual da Tamiya vai ajudar bastante nisto. I have a lot of pictures and also have the manual from Tamiya´s BT44 1:12. I'm following both manuals (1:20 & 1:12). This is because I want to make a highly detailed model with some removable parts. So, both manuals will help a lot. Start of the work on the body (sanding and putty) After discovered the measures, I cut the new parts that will consist the new nose (2mm sheet)
Drago Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 Cut off the original nose A little puty to get the correct shape
Joseph Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Drago, Very interesting subject! The Brabham BT44 was one of Gordon Murray's designs, correct? Fabulous looking car! Nice photos of your project and good description of what your doing. I'll be watching for more updates. Great job so far! Cheers! Joseph

Wagoneer81 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Drago, I am impressed! I've worked with resin before and modifying it can be difficult. You are an artist! I'll be watching this build closely!
CrewDawg15 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 WOW!!!!! Now that's a lot of work. I see you love modding kits as much as I do. Keep up the great work!
