Title: 917 -011
Post by: kiwichappers on April 18, 2015, 09:13:53 PM

Now then Gents and Gentesses,

Progress after a couple of hours on this build during the week. The light tan with silver and white dry brushing on the rear of the chassis is a first attempt at rendering raw fibreglass. I am not totally happy with the look and have a test piece using WEM clear doped linen as the base which looks better but still not quite the answer.

Happy plasticking
Francis

Hi Francis,
Welcome to the throng. Great to see your work on here and even better to see one of your car builds which always are a delight to behold.
Great work, matey.

Thanks guys. Sorry kiteman not much more for while as I have been sentenced to Archidona for a week or so. There will some serious work on my return as restorative therapy for modelling withdrawal.

Now then Gents, progress at last on this one after it has languished for some time. Finally tracking down suspension details has triggered reopening its box and progressing.

This weekend I have sorted the front suspension and made some progress on the cockpit, rear suspension and transmission.
