WIP Ferrari FXX Transkit MFH 1/24
Hello everybody,
It's along time that I've started a new WIP on this Forum........So here it is. I started with the engine.... Here are the parts, all in white metal. The pulleys and belts are molded all together........ The one on the right down side should be removed anyway, it's the one for the airco, and FXX hasn't airco.....so, Mr Hiro The underside of the engine..... In the middle of the picture you see two small cylinders. The biggest one should be like a spring and the small one is the oil filter... So, I removed the 2 talken about pieces and decided to make better looking new ones. I made the "spring" one with 0,5 wire, turned on a brass tube: The new "spring" glued in place and the new oil filter is made from aluminium rod and put in place. I saw that the new oil filter is toshort and to large. It will be remade latter and replaced.. I the cut the pulleys assembly into pieces as I had an idea to make the grooves into the pulleys as I made in the WIP for the Shelby GT500.... Being a problem to "hold" the white Metal pulleys while making the grooves, I decided to meke new pulleys, much easier.... This is the smallest pulleys or in fact "return pulleys. The new one is in the midlle under. It's made from aluminium, put into my Proxxon motortool, and "worked" with files, sand paper and bits. Bigger one, new is on the right, needs his nut to finish it... Biggest one.. Here the pulleys with a piece of Money... That's all for tonight. Not much to see, but I had to begin with something...... Hope you like it. Waiting for your comments and/or criticism. Thank you for looking anyway... Cheers, Jamme |

Re: WIP Ferrari FXX Transkit MFH 1/24
Hello to everybody,
Here's a very very littke UP! The engine has been assembled....: I made a new Oil filter, has I said above, I didn't like the first one I made: The cam covers were primed, painted in XF-7 with the airbrush far away, low pressure to give some texture: Engine Was painted in XF-16: Cam covers received a wash with black oil paint. Nuts were picked up with Chrome silver from ModelMaster: Engine received the same wash as above: That's all for tonight...... I"m waiting for your critics, comments. Cheers Jamme |

Re: WIP Ferrari FXX Transkit MFH 1/24
Great work with the Proxxon, Jamme!
What speed do you use? Highest? What do you use to hold the tool?
