WIP Mustang Shelby GT500 1969

wow... very nice work

Hello, it's me again........!
Here's a little UP on the interior.
As I sais earlier, the "leather" parts are paintesd with oil paints.
The flocking as been
I made the seatbelts and removed the pedals that were molded.
I will replace them later.
I also removed the end of the shifter, and will replace it by a new "ball)
Thank you for your nice comments.
Critics, (constructive, of course.....) are welcome.
Greetings,

this just keeps getting better and better
Chris

this just keeps getting better and better


:iagree:

This build has really inspired me, especially all the opening panels :smokin: , that I'm going to try something similar with a 1:24 kerbside kit* - yes, I'll have to add the engine as well :eek:

Please keep the pics & progress reports coming - this is going to be an outstanding model!! :grinyes:


*Not telling which one (yet)!!

Sacre merde, Jamme!!! (can I say that here? :) )

This is awsome!! I'm glad you've started posting here again - pleaaaase don't stop (or at least tell me where else you post your work)

I am in really in love with this project.

My only constructive criticism is that the flocking looks a bit thick and "woolly" in some of the photos?

So what's up with the TR lately? :evillol:

I agree for the flocking, on somme pictures...
That must be the enhancing, I think...
I don't forget the TR, .........

Thank you.

Hello, here's a small UP!
I finished the pedals, much better than the molded originals......:lol:
http://62.210.160.29/2006/Images2/20506/JadoKSXXQ0D140520061717558925.jpg

I also finished the wheels.

I now have to sand and polish it.....

Excelent work there! This gonna be a thing of beauty when it's done. All that extra detail will make this an amazing build!

I'm not one of the fastest.....I think.
Compared to me you are Speedy Gonzalez!! :D

Hello everybody.........
Yes I'm still alive......!
Lot of business work for the moment, so, not much time for modelling....
Here's a (very little...) UP!
I finished the dashboard.
The shifter ball was added and the interior is now mostly complete...
Enjoy the pictures...

Hello, thank you for your Comments,
No, the shift ball is not the kit piece, I changed it from a b the pictureall from a needle.....
And it is a little bit to big....
But the picture makes it slightly larger...
But anyway I will try to make a smaller one.
Thank you so much for looking....
Greetings,

Jamme

Crazy detail, props to you! This makes me want to try and build something as detailed! Good work, keep the updates coming.

You still like it?
Dont forget to comment/criticise.
Thank you very much.

Jamme

Wow the work gets better with each pic. great job on the tail panel and lights. the interior looks so real. awesome job!

Jamme, I want to know how you manage to paint the boot locks so cleanly?!?!

Also, how did you add the silver to the red glass on the rear lights?

Still nothing to criticise from me :D

Hello and thank you.
My english is so poor....
What do you mean with boot locks, do you mean the gate for the key?
I glue the red glass to the silver with acrylic white glue fron Tron, an Italian Factory that also made 1/43 cars.
Than you once again for following this WIP.
Jamme

That is looking great, nice detailing. Cant wait to see it finished.

For Klutz 100,
I think I have understand your questions.....
I you mean the key gate, it is not painteed, it is a photoetched part from the Model Car Garage Fret...
If you mean the vertical silver strips on the red parts of the tail lights, its done once again in Bare Metal Foil.
Hop that this is what you want to know......:banghead:

Greetings,

Jamme

Hop that this is what you want to know...
You hop good! That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks :D

Hello, to everybody that follows this WIP.
Once again, alittle UP!
I began the wiring in the engine compartment (not yet finished.......)
And also put the engine in the compartment.
Here are the pics.
Thanks for your comments.

Thank You

Jamme

Great detailing on the engine, looks real.

Coming near the end of this WIP...
Thank you for posting.

As good as always :bigthumb:

When I look at e.g. the clip on the radiator hose that you reproduced so realistically and then think about how small it is in reality, I just have a heart attack on the spot...

Is that a photoetched grill? or did you grind out the back of the grill or use diamond mesh screen?

It just looks awesome :):)
