AN UPDATE!!! Did Tang's post on FB get you motivated again?

Are you going to stay with the same green color?

I know nothing about it. Can you give the link?

Of course!

He tagged you when I mentioned the HD kit. He's building a 1/43 version.

What an amazing coincidence!
I rarely go to Facebook.

I rarely go to Facebook.

I believe a lot of modeling activity has move to Facebook, which has its benefits and negatives. I like the layout of these forums and you don't get much non-modeling crap. This forum is pretty quiet now, but Model Cars Magazine's forum is still pretty active. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/

Also, this forum has become less relevant because most of the photo links are broken because of Photobucket's demise. Slowly, I've been going back to my old posts and restoring the links (with Flickr) and posting my old pics of my completed models on FB.

Holy XXXX AN UPDATE!!! Is it Christmas today?

The engine has got new nameplates.

Have strengthened the perimeter of the engine compartment by steel.

This is so cool ! Happy to see more progress.

Hey friend.
First of all, your job is absolutely amazing.
I've been watching you step by step for years and it's top notch.
Second, I've just bought this kit and I was wondering if you recreate some of the extras you did on your project?

Lambo2512 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=794134) Thanks! This project still too far from finish. Which extras do you want?

Lambo2512 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=794134) Thanks! This project still too far from finish. Which extras do you want?

I thought about engine, front pillers, engine bay and more, how can I contact you in private?

Lambo2512 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=794134) I am a creative person. I do things by mood. I'm not sure that I will make copies of my work, but I can think about it. Write to me at [email protected]

Have fixed together the body and the bottom by means of brass wire 0.5 mm diameter to remove the gaps.


In progress

always amazing stuff, my Friend. too nice.

Mikhail, do you think the nose sits a little too high? I observed this on my example. Take a look at your post #17: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1083878&page=2

I thought about bending the nose down, or maybe it will solve itself when married to the chassis.

Can't wait to see more of your build!

Mikhail, do you think the nose sits a little too high?
Yes, you're right, but I will leave it as it is.

I thought about bending the nose down
I have tried to lower the nose by means of cutting and increasing the cut. You can see it on this photo.

But now I have a better idea. I show it in the nearest future.
At first, I decided to make a new upper part of the engine bay. The 3D is from a computer game.

It was printed and installed into the body. My own part was cutted out.

I thought about heating the body and bending the front a little lower. Will await your better idea.

to BVC500: The heating and bending is a good way in your case. But in my case it won't. I will print a complete new front end. In progress.

Cool. Of course, all that work you did in the beginning to fix inaccuracies around the vents has gone to waste.

Yes, it's a pity! A carbon hood too. On the other hand I will make a better look model. With a new front grill made from scratch.

Ready for printing.
