Re: Saab Aero-X 1/6

Thanks!

I like to experiment often and search inspiration everywhere I can. So heres my attempt to replicate carbon ceramic brake disc.



I'm really happy that I came up with this idea, but I'm sure that it can be made even better.

Heres the secret if any of you would like to know or improve it and try out yourself:

1) Sharpen some graphite pencils and collect the graphite
2) Make the disc from styrene, but a little bit thinner so you can build up the carbon surface.
3) Apply glue to the disc (I used PVA) and then collected graphite.
4) Allow to dry. Sand the disc surface and repeat step 3
5) Sand again with 400 grit sandpaper and basically it's done...

So, what do you think? How do you guys replicate carbon ceramic surface?
