crazyjim Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 That looks cool. Will you leave the bottoms open or fill with styrene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ira, I really like how this is going so far. Have you thought about rounding off the rear edges of the side window opening to give it more of a Bugatti Atlantic feel? That might be pretty cool with this design. Can't wait to see where this goes next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 That looks cool. Will you leave the bottoms open or fill with styrene? Thanks Jim, I think I will probably fill in at least part of the fender bottoms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am concerned about clashing with the vertical sides of the rear window. Haven't quite figured it out yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 very cool but what amazes me is how fast you can put out these models even with so many mods, it seemes that you alway have a few progets going on at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
