John Teresi Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Richard.........."Holly Mollie".........nice job on lining up all the holes........looks GREAT!!!!!!!
exesivefire Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Holes look much better after you went in from the back Cool build
crazyrichard Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) thnx guys and well to be dead hounest almost every hole i drilled right away with this size drill bit and the lining up was just done by eye , didnt messure or mark them on the rear the only thing i did was draw a straight line and teh spacing was done by eye , the tunnel was just random ... its like i said a few posts back , if i would have messured and marked everything and pre punched it it could have been even tighter .. but oon parts like a front axle that would be a must , on the body i quite like the slightly rougher look now and the fact it looks more like old fashion hand work instead of going more to the robotic / waterjet look also with the paint and the shading i hope to achieve on the holes i think (hope) it will work out this rod has brought me on great new idea's , in the future i could use this technique with smaller drill bits on parts like brackets or axles , just a tiny bit but it could add a lot to like tha undercarridge of a model but most important of it all i'm having a ton of fun with this build Edited February 14, 2013 by crazyrichard
crazyrichard Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) thnx this update will show it all more as whole i think and now the details and all braces are added it comes alive more closed the inside of the cab at the end of the tunnel with a sheet of styrene so its now closed inside , that actually stays on the chassis when teh cab comes of same go's for the seats fixed the rear axle in place and use the top of the fuel tank that usually go's on top of the chassis on the bottom , that closed the gap between chassis and body and makes it all smooth. just shaved the fuelk filler cap of then added the trans mount and braces for the axle found a cool steering wheel in my partsbox and drilled some holes in the spokes (no i'm not going to count all the holes on this project hahaha) still loose in place drilled a new hole in the steering colom brace so the whole assembly can sit more horizontal , looks more racy i guessed very very rough dryfit of the ride hight / stance , its dead on its low but still looks drivable to me (?) dryfit with the grille , fixed front axle and axle braces Edited February 14, 2013 by crazyrichard
Albie D Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Just when you think everything has been done to the venerable 32, you keep innovating new styles... You should plunk a Big Block in this beast. The rat gets the "swiss" cheese!
crazyrichard Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 hey thnx , well yes that kind of the thing i'm still in doubt about , the engine .. the original revell engine is too tiny so thats not going in .. then i do have some lager blocks in the partsbox and one drag racing engine .. those would need to be build up from scratch all just blocks .. i do have a awsome flathead and that one fits like a glove , i only have to make some mounts for it so it will stay on the right hight.. also i have some real brass stacks that would look cool on some scratch build carbs dryfit > drilled the spark plug holes open but like you said a big block could be awsome too , still leaning towards this flathead , i just love them and it fits the theme with a big block you def. would not need the weightsave from the holes lol you would have enough power to run it with a massive body right ? so the flathead being less powerfull would fit with all the speedholes weightsave wise and therefore ....
blazefox Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 a 2 or three carb set up on that motor woud give u close to 200 hp r so
crazyrichard Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 good enough first i need to get the bare metal going > after spraying it always looks tight , wrubbing it with a cloth will make it come alive and going more towards bare metal , after that a mild sandpaper will really make it ....... the preshading of the panellines worked awsome from now on i will do it like this , they actually look real dark without becoming all black , also this way i really got it more even and tight then doing it afterwards
crazyrichard Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) this stuff dyes so fast i could already do a dryfit the panellines where silver again after drying so i went through them with a steel pin and the dark line was back Edited February 16, 2013 by crazyrichard
crazyrichard Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 and then it became a die-cast nah but i think its so close to a bare metal die-cast car .. need more detail with some blak also did some minour imperfection on purpose to give it that bare metal rough look
kennb Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 coming together very nicely,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just keeps me thinking of a ham and swiss sammy
crazyrichard Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 went over the body with black acrylic paint on a cloth and washed it on and then rubbed of untill i was happy. then with a tiny pensil i went along the edges with matt black enamel paint and rubbed it of with a cloth leaving some fine lines along the bdylines for added depth floor inside is matt black , the tunnel now really pops also did the chassis that was a crime to sand with all the small parts on it next step some black en chrome detailing on the chassis
Tom Kren Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 HOLY BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH that looks cool!!!
crazyrichard Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 HOLY BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH that looks cool!!! thnx well it came out even better then i hoped , this was the second time i did this and i must say this one looks best
exesivefire Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Love the paint technique I think I'll have to try that myself.
walt francis Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 This Baby is really coming together with every change .....OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!
crazyrichard Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 thnx !! first sanded the tyres and painted the deeper part of the rim spokes black before > after > steering wheel / colom chrome (sorry for the blurry pic) and then painted the edge matt black engine in bright red , just the base needs some washes and some details need to be painted plack etc etc thought it would pop with all the grey and bare metal
crazyrichard Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) well its on its wheels , i needed to make some custom backsides to glue them on the front and rear axle changed the engine from red to matte green , the red was to bright red for all the black and greys .. but ater dryfitting .. hmm maybe i will build a big block out of all the left over parts i have i also have a drag racing engine , just the bare block did the grille a bit rougher , on this pic the grille house really shows the bare metal effect the stance test fit of the steering wheel Edited February 19, 2013 by crazyrichard
crazyrichard Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) thnx started a custom bigblock v8 out of several parts used a old incomplete blown v8 but going to build it up without a blower the exhaust manifolds are from the revell kit , but mounted upside down to the new engine so they run free , i will modify those and make pipes on them the valve covers mounted lowered the big square in the middle where a blower should mount and placed a left over intake manifold cut of a revell gerbox and made it so that is one piece with the driveshaft and can slide in separate from the engine like this (tranny is upside down) Edited February 19, 2013 by crazyrichard
Sixgunner68 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Very Cool!! Love the finish on the body! I think the contrast between the early body style and the late style wheels is a nice touch! Keep up the good work!
crazyrichard Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Very Cool!! Love the finish on the body!
