ok...too much spare time here while waiting for the Euro finals!!!
yes, the rear lip got some putty & waiting to dry before i reshape the lip (again X 3!)
todays' menu is to integrate the firewall into the chassis then into the body...zzzzzzzz
also, some cosmetic mods are done to the chassis. the floorpan size is exactly the same as the stock chassis but the tunnel & radio section is different.
Oops! the stock 250GT firewall is too thick to get into. gee, gotta thin it down by @ 0.5mm...
i glued the side wheel walls to get a better idea how this part's gonna fit into the slim sexy nembo body...hehe!
OH NO! did i mentioned this build is purely from some spare 250GT / 275 nart parts but not complete!?
i just found out that i don't have a 250GT dashboard here! sigh...headache man!
gotta scratchbuild one & that means TIME is lost!
sometimes i wonder if i've making myself a hard life enjoying this hobby...why not just build it fast & forget it altogether? in my 30+ years of modeling, i know such fast pull-off won't stay in my display for long...
the kick is just not there.
more to come!
