More updates...

I am pretty slow approaching the end of this build. Not too sure why.

Anyhow, I have managed to complete the interior. I have finally decided on what to do with the seat belt set up. First, I have used some modellers self adhesive seat belt material plus photo etched parts to make the pair of 4 point seatbelts. I think it is a little bit unrealistic in a sense. However, it should not be too bad when seen through the windows.

As you can see, I have decided to scratch build the racing harness guide bar to have a relatively convincing racing set up. I have used a piece of metal rod and two pieces of aluminum can material for the two ends to simulate a real guide bar. Those cola cans are not bad for scratch building. It is very flexible.

Here are the pics:





Thanks for looking.
