The Creative Explorer Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Ok, ÃNother project :wink: ( like I didn't had enough yet... ) This will be build quite slow and is more a between project when other projects are stalled for some reason. The idea is to build a Porsche 911 (euro specs) and cutaway the body. As base, I use the Fujimi Enthusiast No. 5 kit, as this is the best base one can have. This is how I received the body and glass ( the cracks were known, and that's why it was also an ideal base for this project ) A dryfit of all the bodyparts together And made some lines where I will cut the body in halves The front window was split in a way I didn't liked, so I masked of the preferred line and started to saw It resulted in this raw frontscreen And smoothed with different grid sanding sticks And the start of the engine, painted already in the main colours
Tonioseven Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 This should provide some interesting pictures as it progresses!
The Creative Explorer Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 I hope so Got no idea in what I am into now, but looks interesting....for now..... Already time for the first update! My hands couldn't resist of cutting up the body. See for yourself! :-P
LVZ2881 Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 looks like and interesting project idea, cant wait to see more pics.
dub Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Quite an undertaking! I am going to watch this build's progress for sure. Do you have a reference? Did Stuttgart build one for display? I've seen plenty of cutaway engines.... A whole car is way too cool!
The Creative Explorer Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 Thanks guys for the support. No, no reference and no idea what I'm doing either. hahaha. I did figured, that I have to bring a lot more detail in wiring, and engine detail. It will cause many headaches, but fun to do I hope.
The Creative Explorer Posted December 22, 2007 Author Posted December 22, 2007 I cut off the pullys from the molded v-belt and pullys The new V-belt And rejoind on the motor again, looks a lot better than the original belt, dontcha think? The exhaust system And all the parts for the engine, put together and now waits further detailing.
atenzapower Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Hallo mine good friend,i spoke to you over the msn,about this one,and i still have no ideas for it,but it will be.
Hollywood Jim Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Great work.!!!!! It will be a great model.
The Creative Explorer Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 Ok, seems that my last update didn't got pulled through, so another update now. Making ignition wiring One halve done With the other halve too. And working on the driversseat. It needs more details as it is fully exposed. Needs some work more.
LVZ2881 Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 what material did you use for the v belt???
The Creative Explorer Posted December 24, 2007 Author Posted December 24, 2007 I used 3M SchotchCal Film, but you can use ordinary maskingtape, altough the 3M stuff has a realistic appearance.
The Creative Explorer Posted December 24, 2007 Author Posted December 24, 2007 This will be the last update of this year. First I am going to do the Christmas thing and the day after I head for Austria. So I will be back in 2008 Not a huge update, but the engine is done.
simonr Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) Oh man, how much we can pull out from this Fujimi enthusuast kits! You're doing a wonderfull job on this one. Can't wait to see more. I'll be here in the first row. Simón P. Rivera Torres Edited December 25, 2007 by simonr
The Creative Explorer Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks, but I need to say that I am a bit dissapointed by the level of detail in this kit. A small update:
atenzapower Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 thats amezing what you did there,but i know your a good builder,keep up the great work.
The Creative Explorer Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks Mike, appreciated! Unfortunately you can see that the Tamiya is quite basic in in-depth detail, something you can find in the Enthusiasts. Small update; I am kind off stuck now, since the chassis and interior is pretty much done, and I have to wait until I can spray the body.
mikelo Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Great idea for a project. I have also seen those ads for Tamiya. Great job so far. The red really adds to the effect.
Raul_Perez Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 No comments? Erik, Try putting/updating the date in the description section of the post each time you add pictures. That way we'll know when to look again. This is a really cool project and it looks like you're doing a great job!! I'm sure that it's a lot of fun!! Keep up the posts!!
Jared Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 this build it SOOOO cool. i have always liked the whole "cut away car" idea, but i never really had the guts to try it. looks like you have an eye for it!! keep it up!
The Creative Explorer Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 Almost done, but a update for now.
crispy Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Nice work Steef! I have always found those type of builds interesting. Reminds me of some of the ads that car companies did. Chris
Raul_Perez Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 That is looking really cool, Erik!! It reminds me of the Bond movie where the helicopter cuts up the car with some sort of rotary saw hanging below it!
