Re: Just another F1 GTR longtail (Image Heavy ;) )

This build was inspired by sam01contact's build, I've studied how he built his and based my build off that. It was such a great learning experience.
With that being said, I move on the interior.


Cut out the molded-in electronics. Going to scratch build those later.


Then made replacement parts for the ones I cut out using 0.3 plastic sheets.


Finally, I drilled out some holes for wiring, detailed them and fitted some resin connectors from Hobby Design.



Another thing I saw from sam's build were the muffler springs. And that really got my attention. So I made these springs from Brass wire and fitted them on the muffler. Again I used sam's technique with the tubes covering the seamline that was made by the muffler.

*Note: These things were so small that I had to use my 105mm Micro lens just to get a detailed shot of it.*






That would be all for now! Sorry if I am jumping all over the place, I really can't keep my hands still with just one part of the build. I need to work on several sections at the same time to keep my hands satisfied
