360 Cs Blu Notte

That is insane.

This, what you are doing, makes me wonder if there is any sense for me to be a "modeller" any more

I'll do that later.

But seriously, I've been planning to do the 360 Modena, but now it's just senseless - Gio is the master.

[gionc]

seriously guys I'm so much "bloody mess oriented" to be a master: like when I make love with my old lady (J/K LOL hoping her can't see that) I dream about some cool girl (ROOOOFL) I do the fuc###g modena and dream about my lancias, fioranoz, fixxxxxx, lot of hirozzzzz, yaaa dammn 360 I want finish you so quick!!

[NOSFERATTU]

Really masterwork.
Congrats.

[360spider]

Killer!

Guys..... LOL Glad you liked


Updates: I started the job on the second engine (the one to show alone sideways the car)

Latest PE board, now I guess I have all I need BTW 45' after the "print" command I obtained that: I have to honestly admit that I start to be pleased with my PE skills (ok there's something not completely etched but depend of a plate coating's fault, and I have 4-5 times the piece I need..), this time I found a method to keep the plate unoxided and clean, and... ... ok let me show than I'll start the quiz show:





Ok, quiz: what's the part on the right etched plate? No prize anyhow

I done something on the spare engine: gearbox levers (no F1 for this one, and it would be a regular (no CS) engine, with some details (less) -notice that I cutted the oil tanks and drilled axes holes, they would be detailed with the PE just etched). Ok soon with some jobs.



Little Tip: the braided line (that I have to reshape with the correct angle) isn't an aftermarket part (despite I own kilometers of those dammn) I done by myself...

All ready for differential cover :



Ok, ciao, thanks you all for the kind support.

You really have mastered p/e etching now

Super work Maestro

My guess is it is some sort of display stand to go with the completed engine.

Let us know about the braided line. I tried it in my Enzo and it looks ok, but what I can see of yours is very nice.

Great job so far Gio.

Wow, the P/E is amazing. What's the method to keep it unoxided?

[gionc]

HI Drazman: are you the same Draz from the PL forum? to keep clean I just quickly washed only a couple seconds (brushing under current water) quickly dried and so washed on solved to clear the UV laquer, other times I washed for more time on water so where you have engraved areas it come oxided, or tried to wash immediately on solvent that react with acid doing some crystalizations.

Mike: just rolling a file on a piece of solder material lesson learned from a super-cool master like R40.

The last zoo's cab, after Mr. croc & Mrs cickkengio, let me to introduce Mr. Spidergio









Engine isn't still seat correctly since I need some stirrup in back supports: I have already etched those, I need just to mount.





I guess I'll paint it red, flat base w/out clearcoat. I'm wondering about legs, I'll try something in the lathe... I don't like so much this solution. I gues I have to think better at the problem.

[drazman]

Thanks Gio. Yes, I'm the same one, but here draz nick was already taken here.
I'm trying to enforce myself to post some of my current works in here - maybe I'll do that tonight.

I wonder how do You do so clean connetion between the P/E elements. I'm trying soldering, but in my case both the parts and soldering gun are covered in solder but not connected.

I know: I guess you need a kind of soldering acid, I didn't found a tranlsation for the italian word "Flussante": apply those with a brush on the metal pars to join than the hot solder will come from the iron just on the area when you brushed acid. This is becose it unoxide parts. Anoter way is brush acid and place a bit of cutted solder over (approx 1/2mm every 1cm of soldered line) tha just warm up parts (like I done now) the solder will follow the brushed acid, like you'll see from pict, and you haven't (almost) the need of wok with the file.

Looking forward to see something from you: I think I lost some of you great PL modellers: I was busy and hardly I'll follow jobs here and in the ITA forum.

I think the word you are looking for is flux....a brush on paste type, I can see how that would help when soldering these parts together. I really like that engine stand, very creative. Keep up the great work Gio!
