Re: 1/8th Scratchbuild - Porsche RS60

...et voila!





3kg's of filler later and things are starting to look less ugly.




Finally, I've got enough filler on the frame so that I can start carving away - I guess this is where the 'artisan' element starts.

I've got enough material slapped on to give me an oversize thickness of anywhere between 0.5mm and 1.5mm so I just have to start sanding intil the guide ribs start showing. That's the theory, but I'm only kidding myself as I've already started 'knocking back' the rough bits and it's taken me about 3 hours of sanding already!

I think these updates will be rather slow!

Got to admit that I'm really enjoying the whole scratchbuilding process though - may have to flog off all my 1/12th Tamiya's!
