Another update:
I worked on the fan shrouds last night, and got one done. Here are the results:
That is .01" Evergreen sheet plastic. That was tedious work, so I didn't feel like doing the other one right away--I'll probably finish it tonight.
In the meantime, I painted the radiator:
Model Master Metalizer aluminum, and Model Master acrylic semi-gloss black. The fans were molded on--with the shroud over them, there's no need for more detail.
I also built the chassis wiring harness. This connects to the PCM and attaches to the O2 sensors, transmission, and ABS hydraulic unit. This is my first all-wire harness--there is no tape at all, just a big coil of wire around everything. Of course, that is the peak of realism--it looks just like a modern wiring harness. Close up: (sorry for bad picture)
And, I hand-painted my brake calipers--my handbuilt brakes are now finished!
I don't mind criticism, by the way; in fact I hope to get some. Make comments! Out of almost 800 views, there are only 9 replies. I like feedback! Thanks for looking.
