:iagree::iagree::iagree::screwy::screwy: :lol:

Been working on the belts still.
I think I'm there now.
Will need to shorten them when ready to fix.

Now moving onto other parts.

You're doing an awesome job building this 037. I have fun seeing your work

Been working on the bell housing for the gearbox.
First the fixing points.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/engine37.jpg

Next the housing for the starter motor.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/engine38.jpg

Next I cut a circle to cover all the fixing points.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/engine39.jpg

Then added the outer edge and strenghteners

still going.

The only problem here is that I don't know if there's anything I can say that's actually going to be of any use to you - this is fantastic! The engine is looking great (loving all the pulleys - life would be too easy if we machined everything from solid, wouldn't it?), and the gearbox has that mix of different detailing (webbing, bosses, mounting points, etc) which brings it to life. From the look of your cutting mat, I totally understand (and sympathise with) the work that's gone into this!

All I can say is - keep going! Now you've scratch-built an engine and gearbox to this level of detail, I don't think there's anything else on the car that's going to cause you a problem...

Have fun!

SB

This is amazing work - the gearbox is a stunning model on its own!

The only problem here is that I don't know if there's anything I can say that's actually going to be of any use to you ...

SB

:1: just wonderful in every pixel.

Thanks guys for your comments.
SB you were the one that got me into this building lark.
I'm enjoying it.
I have learnt if you are not happy with a part you have made does not matter how long it took you, start again.
:)
Will carry on.

Martin

Been working on the exhaust 5 goes :banghead:
Got there now, it was hard work.

Great work! That gearbox looks at home in the chassis!

Just awesome man! How do I buy shares in Evergreen?

Lovely stuff Martin, it's really coming together now!:cool:

this work is a dream.

Simply amazing!! My favourite car, looking forward to the next update!:)

You've got to be pleased with how that's looking - worth all the effort, right? I always find bending exhaust pipes to be a pain, although it's become easier with each project - I use clear flexible tubing for the pipe over a wire core which I can bend to shape. Using styrene tubing must add to the fun-factor, though!

SB

Thanks for all your comments.
SB will try pipes next time sounds better.
Happy new year to you all.

I don't suppose you know the chap in Monaco with the 037 in his private collection, given your location?:cool:

Also, in your black and white photos at the beginning of your own
thread...is that a young Jean Todt looking into the engine bay? Never knew he was that 'hands on' with rally cars!!!:)

still on the exhaust:banghead:
But getting there.
Started with a paper template.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/exhaust1_zps9cba8f2e.jpg

Than made 2 ends and 2 middles
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/exhaust2_zps81308c79.jpg

Drilled together to get the hole in the same place.

absolutely stunning your skills and progress! Brilliant work! :)

Dayum Puffy, I am glad I started at the beginning of the thread and read through every update, your work is beyond impressive.

Keep the updates coming, I really want to see this one finished.

Hello
Built the sides to the frame so I could build the fuel tanks.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/sides1_zpsb891eb1f.jpg

I was having problems building the tanks out of plastic so made them from modelling clay.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/sides4_zps5467bba2.jpg

Tried to make them look like bagged tanks.
Need a bit more work.

Nice idea for the tanks!

Funnily, I got stuck on the fuel tanks on my 1/24 037 and that's where it's still sitting. Now you've gone and solved that problem for me, 1000% thank you's!

Still bit of work to do on fuel tanks.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/petroltank2_zps05959bb0.jpg

Also been working on the oil tank.

Still have to get a cap and make the dip stick.

Bit more on the oli and fuel tanks.

For the bagged tanks used an old curtain.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/tanks2_zps54331182.jpg

the rough bits will be trimmed off and you will not see the backs away.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/tanks3_zps0393bca6.jpg

Bit more work then I can paint them.

You know, I'm sure new curtains would work even better than old ones...! Seriously though, I think these are going to look really good - will be interesting to see them once they're painted. The oil tank is also a pleasure - there's some funky shapes going on with this project!

SB

G'day puffrys. No updates for 5 months on this amazing project. Still going???

Ok small update.
Also I want to get this completed as started to think about a new project.
I will make sure this one is completed first.
I'm also going to paint the engine and gearbox so I do not loose any parts.
New to this detailed paint thing so see how I go.
1st the air box this was an early car so it used the standard airbox from the photos I have.

Could someone tell the story of that please? I love everything "cheating" stories in motorsports....

And by the way, truly amazing build, love it since it started!!!

As the books say.
" the Lancia appeared with additional engine oil reservoirs, something which did not please the scrutinisers. But aren't post rally scrutineering problems a Monte tradition."

They were allowed torun.

Been painting up the engine parts and adding nuts and bolts.
wanted the bolt to be a different colour to the washer.

bolts added.

for the cam cover again the bolt tops had to be painted.
If you have to cut them to size like me, fit the washer first them cut them.

This is going to look so good when it's all together - hey, it looks great now when it's all in pieces, too! Life would be easier if gearboxes were simply regular-shaped 'boxes', wouldn't it?!

I must remember to try using heatshrink like that myself, sometime...

Keep going!

Still working on the engine belts but thought I would try how it looks in the chassis.

Well pleased how it looks :)

Every update is a study in awesomeness!

:iagree:

Lovely!:tongue:

Amazing work. It almost looks real. I hope you weather it slightly so it looks like it is right off the truck ready for a race.

Hi not been modelling at the moment.

Will be back soon.

Is a long time that there are no updates have lost interest in this project?
Would be a shame for who as me follow this thread, the project is really ambitious and the quality of scratchbuilt is top-notch for a unique model in this scale. Can you tell me something about the wheels?

See you soon. :thumbsup:

I have not lost interest, but been looking for a new classic. Car.
Will get back on it.
As I have other models to make.
I have sent you some photos of wheels.
I will be using the RC wheels.

I understand, I thought you had a better project for the complete wheels
As I have answered to you in the machining section.
I think I will build equally the wheel e for any future project or to sell them once
finished after to have bought the Renaissance transkit to take the measurements I need.
