Re: Jordan 191
Oh man. This is seriously depressing as it is unobtanium. BUT, on the other hand, it is a fantastic WIP. Absolutely awesome work you are doing there. So realistic.

Re: Jordan 191
The wear and tear you have thought into each assembly is so well executed. Very, very nice.

Re: Jordan 191
It's still pretty much at the stage shown in the WIP thread and sitting next to my workbench. I have to get back to it at some point...got annoyed with the brake calipers and the models i started as a "distraction" turned into rather lengthy projects themselves...:-)

Re: Jordan 191
Progress has been slow lately, but here are finally a few new bits i can show. They are the hydraulic fluid reservoirs at the front of the monocoque. I made them on the lathe and also made some metal fitting bits and the parts that hold them. These are made from styrene rods and etched bases.
I painted the parts ( apart from the reservoir cups of course ) added some brass bolt heads and glued them on the monocoque. I also made those two little electronic boxes. The grey one was for time keeping I guess from the “Longines” sticker. I made that sticker with an ALPS printer. Then I wired all the parts up and also added the brake lines that go to the front brake calipers. Another view. This wire and hose business takes a surprising lot of time. I’m not exactly looking forward to the engine bay…:-) So far, so good……but I saved the fun part for last :-) Properly representing the brake fluid cups ( and especially the liquid inside…. ) is tricky and we’ve seen various approaches to that, for example with clear sprue bits and paint. I have used a material named POM. It’s pretty tough stuff and very often gets used to make plastic gears and the likes. It can’t really be painted or glued very well but it’s good for machining and is flexible rather than brittle when it’s very thin. Most importantly it has this opaque white look the brake fluid cups usually have :-) The cups are hollow with about 0,1mm wall thickness and I made lids to close them. So once the model is finished I’ll put some dark fluid in them and they should look pretty much like the real ones :-) So, that’s it for now already. I have more bits and pieces to build and paint so progress will probably be slow again. Thanks for looking and see you for the next update! |
