Caravan:
I did all the frame for the back door.
For the sides, I used a 2mm sheet and then sanded, and sanded, and sanded to give the right shape. The strengthening parts at the top and bottom are done with 'L' Evergreen profiles (4mm sides) and in the middle I used a flat profile (4mm wide too).
Here I mounted it closed. Just to show you that it's the same shape as the sides but, at the end, it will be glued on the hinge.
I also did the closing system. Litlle pearls will be put in the corners (where I bended the wire) to represent 'knee joints'.
I also prepared some accesories:
- 2 little jacks done with electrical wire. I only removed the half of the pastic. Those jacks will be mounted at the top of the frame. I must still drill the holes in the frame to place them
- the handle (from a Tamiya Beetle) who will set the closing system in action
- a PE keyholder for the Beetle's starter. I'll glue it at the very end, so I won't lose it when I manipulate the car.
So, all the frame must now be painted 'wood' color, then I can glue the aluminium sheet outside and the 'wood' paper inside. And finally, I'll glue the license plate and place a wire for the plate lighter.
Beetle:
BMF is 90% done, I still have the windscreen trim, driver's boardwalk and some little grills at the front to do.
Just some touch up here and there with blue, and I can clear coat everything and add the last elements and details.
That's all for the moment. Hope you like my work.
