Re: Ford Escort RS1800

When you have finished this masterpiece, can you come and build me a 1:1 ? I cannot wait to see it completed, but then don't want your updates to finish either.

I'm anxious to see the finished product also, but it's nice to finally start to see some finished parts at least.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

A few thing to note in this picture:
  1. Jack and brackets. The jack comes from a Fujimi Porsche 356 and was modified to resemble the work's team jack.
  2. Oil line brackets mounted to the drive shaft tunnel. The oil and fuel lines were installed inside the cockpit to protect them.
  3. Removable panel on the transmission tunnel. The work's team created this to allow for quick access to the gear box.
  4. Fireproof panel on the rear bulkhead.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

The wheels that you have print are together with the tyres ,I think.
I have made firsrt wheels and then tyres.
De diameter of the rear rims are 15mm and 11mm wide
The rear tyres are 23mm diameter and also 11 mm wide.
These are not the final wheels but a try out version

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

Your wheels and tires look good racer1. The one piece wheel/tire pictures I posted was just a rough casting to check size. The final version will have separate wheels, tires and lug nuts. Here is the finished version of the front wheels.

I helped design the wheels/tires but Fireball Modelworks is casting them so I don't know what material they are using. Its resin but I don't know which type.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

Helmet boxes. The helmets come form the Tamiya set. I have modified them to back date them to a 70's style helmet.
