ferrarijoe Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 i used some cigarette foil as heat shield. all pics i see the real car the shield on fire wall looks like a lose blanket so not trying to get it to con form perfectly. also got hybrid wiring started.
martinfan5 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Nice work on the heat shielding, what size wire did you use?
ferrarijoe Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 20 gauge jewelry wire painted model master international orange.
Bennyg Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 That looks awesome. Better than my wiring looks. Will be visiting the jewellery shop tomorrow. Cheers Ben
Sixgunner68 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Nice job using the foil for the heat shield. Looks like the real thing.
ferrarijoe Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) That looks awesome. Better than my wiring looks. Will be visiting the jewellery shop tomorrow. Cheers Ben i got jewelry wire at Hobby Lobby. Comes in pack of 3 rolls for around $4 includes silver gold and copper color. Bought to for a different project but just happened to be right size for this. Edited September 11, 2014 by ferrarijoe
peekay Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Looking great so far. One thing I didn't quite understand - you have a nine-year-old who will sweep a room ?!?!
ferrarijoe Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Yah she's been trying to be helpful since her baby sister was born a few weeks ago. So I can't be to mad. The body should come out of the stripper today. I tried to just spot sand it but went to deep and didn't want to try and re prime since the top coat was acrylic and tamiya primer is lacquer.

ferrarijoe Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 small update finally got body redone. the weather was crazy this weekend got to 34 degrees sat. then today in the 70s. Since I stripped the body I changed it to Tamiya ts-17 Gloss Aluminum.
Pierre_tec Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 look much better in silver/black combo, what u use to strip the paint?
Byron5150 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 very nice start, looking forward to see progress
ferrarijoe Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 been working on carbon fiber today. I can never get all the air bubbles out of carbon for some reason.
Kennyboy Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 VERY nice work on the carbon Joe! Keep at it....this is a beautiful build so far!
booboo60 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I have used a damp Qtip and hair dryer! MED HEAT ON LOW! keep it moving! Also BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH it with a pin! Then Q tip and hair dryer! Good luck! Looks great now,,
ferrarijoe Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Do you use hair dryer even when using micro sol and micro set? That's what I use didn't know if the heat would effect it.
ferrarijoe Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 carbon is done. still drying covered in micro sol.
sliferkiller Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 your carbon fibre work looks stunning! keep it up
