Alfalfa Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys. This is my up-to-date Project. The famous Pocher Bugatti Coupe' de Ville. I start this built in the middle of January, and of course the build is now a littlebit advanced.....I show you the pics from the work i done without many words. If you have any questions, i answer that of corse. Here we go: Edited February 18, 2015 by Alfalfa
Alfalfa Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Further with part 2. The Engine is nearly ready. Some Pipes and lines Comes on place if the engine is placed in the Chassis....I polished the engine pattern from Hand with my Little, but nice, Proxxon Multi tool. MANY WORK, but it looks very great to me. Edited February 18, 2015 by Alfalfa
sjordan2 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Spectacular, of course. Pocher builders get totally involved in the mechanical aspects of the kits. All well and good, and totally awe-inspiring. Most of the rest of us are interested in what the model will look like at the finish -- the body, the interior, etc. What color scheme do you have in mind?
Alfalfa Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Thanx. The Problem is: I start this build in a german Forum. There i write many to all what i have done. All Cables, the spark plugs, etc. was transkit parts and not from the Pocher kit. I will try from this Point in real-time to write. I work a Little bit on the Chassis. Also the Tyres are redy for Fixing. They got some plottered Decals for the blue Ornament rings. The interior gets real fine Lether in beige. Now any more fast-track: Edited February 18, 2015 by Alfalfa
Alfalfa Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 So. Now ist up-to-date. Thats the stand of this challenge.....
Alfalfa Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 my personal fav Color scheme is very classic. blue and black,Interieur with beige leather, burl Wood Panels.....an some many other "BlingBling" And yes, the Pochers are very nice and .....BIG! But some mechanical thinks, like functioning brake drums, are not feasible. There aro so many Diversion on the Chassis. if i like to tip the pedal for a break, maybe it brokes. I dont like to test it.....If i would it functioning i musst it built in metal, like bronze. thats to many wall up. The finish car stands in a Vitrine like the Aventador one. No touching, no playing, only looking..... Thanx for your interesst. Alex
Relic_Models Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Looks awesome. Will be following for sure.
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Awesome build, thanks for coming here and sharing That is a very rare and expensive kit to have, you are very fortunate. Not many Pocher Bugatti kits out there; I am a big Bugatti fan, especially the Type 35 open race cars I have two Pocher Alfa Romeo's to build K71 and K73, just have not started them yet Have a look at the "Big Boys forum" on here it is in the Other Models section when you scroll little farther down on the forum list http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showforum=5
Cato Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Beautiful work Alex. Is that burl wood what we call 'contact paper' - on the instrument panel? It's an adhesive backed printed paper.
10thumbs Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Hi Alex, what a cool car. Good looking model too. The instrument panel looks fantastic. Michael
Belugawrx Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Hey Alex I just wanted to let you know, that alot of us enjoy watching Pocher builds from start to finish,... the detail that can be brought down to 1:12,..1:16,...1:20,...1:25/24,... so much to see at this scale. That yellow/black insulated wire you are using for spark,..where did you harvest that? Looking great Cheers
Alfalfa Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Good morning everybody. Thanx for the positive Feedback! This wooden Foil is self adhesive, yes. Its from a german manufacturer and it calls DC-Fix. The only, it is a Little thick. But with a hairdryer is work with it no Problem. If the Dashboard is ready with the foil, i will put 3-5 templates glossy clear for a homogene Surface and a real looking shine. The same i will do with the door Panels. I hope it Looks on the end so, how i imagine it. The yellow/black wire is a gift from a good friend of mine. He is so like Yoda, and im the Young Skywalker.....this wire is here in Germany very hard to become. The manufacturer who made this is no more available. And sorry, im not see that there is a extra site for the "BIG BOYS"...... Maybe a Admin can this move to the right place, please??? Alex Edited February 19, 2015 by Alfalfa
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Nice work. Love the look of the actual car and like the black with blue panel. Looking forward to seeing more.
Cato Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 That yellow/black insulated wire you are using for spark,..where did you harvest that? Same as mine; from here:http://model-motorcars.myshopify.com/collections/rolls-royce/products/ignition-wire-z038
Alfalfa Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Here we go. The Dashboard gets the burl wooden finish. Glossy clear is over all. What do you think about? Edited February 19, 2015 by Alfalfa
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Very nice job on the dash. Looks pretty glossy now. If you do clear it I would do a test to make sure the gloss doesn't react with the wood.
Alfalfa Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Yes of corse. Thanx for this Point. The foil and the gloss, the gloss is from good old Tamyia, had no trouble together. I polish it a little bit and ready. Usually im also test it before i work with this componends.
Bennyg Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Very nice. I only have a 1/16 truck but this is the best place to get tips like your dashboard. Ben
thinkbig Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Welcome to the board Alex, as I said:" You can run, and you can hide, but I'll get you." Pretty good job, so far. By the way...MMC's spark plug wire isn't cloth coated. Just Vinyl. But the source of the yellow and black cloth-coated wire has dried out. I am still biting my nails, having overhanded all of my wire for free to buddies.. Maybe there is a willing soul to know about a new dealer. Cheers Michael Waldorf
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Alex, is this a new kit, partially assembled or have you taken an old completed car apart?? Are there other transkit companies in Europe we North Americans might not know about? I am full of questions It is such a beautiful car, you are doing very well so far
Alfalfa Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Good morning other side of world. The Buggati i have was like a virgin. Only the engin was built and some parts from the Dashboard. Thats it. Nothing more. Im a lucky guy than usualy the Bugatti is very,very expensive (In german ebay for 2500,- Euro!!! CRAZY WORLD!), but i got him very cheap for best conditions ;-) The only Company i know is in Germany Tremonia who made own transkits. And they have only the cylinder-covers and a mesh for the grill as eatched parts. Modell Motor Cars is known. Michel j. Habich......well i see we are like Stalkers ;-) Nice to see you here my friend! Edited February 20, 2015 by Alfalfa
Alfalfa Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Good news for me: My real lether has arrived. Nice, nice. lovley thin shape. Now i can begin the "Pull Over" from the Seats....I build my modells not in alphabetical order. I build what bring for me some pleasure. I will try to answer any question you have. No Problem. But im by my self no Profi. Got many things to learn. Regards from Bavaria, Alex Edited February 20, 2015 by Alfalfa
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Loving the leatherAlex, that is another of my hobbies I have been drooling over these cars...all worth a fortune http://www.sportscardigest.com/kuwait-concours-delegance-2015-report-and-photos/?awt_l=EB0Rc&awt_m=Ifs8zBYDHes.C0
