Yeah, that´s right! scratch built.

I need to search for older pictures, here are some pictures of the progress, but not the first pictures of all,

the model was built from MDF, I made the stereotomy of the model and cutted all the slices to form the body,

then I covered it with BONDO and sanded until the shape was really close to the actual shape of the car,

then I started to measure all the model, to make it simetric on both sides, and this is the hardest part of all, It took like a year of measuring and sanding to get it all shaped simetrically.

then I started to sand it with thinner sandpapers.

After the sanding with a sandpaper 1000 I spray painted it with grey primer to search for more spots and failures in the finish.

This is so awesome. I am a F1 fan since I was a little kid and I can't get enough of this thread. Maybe you should post this project over at f1m.com, these guys will go crazy about it

Re: FERRARI F1-2000 1/4 scale model, (need help with wings setup)

Jelp,

You can't just leave us in suspense like that!

What are you building, what scale, how have you got your reference, what are you making it out of - all these questions need to be answered right now!

Congratulations on such a stupendous build - I have no idea how I missed this thread originally. Did you think about going into production with it? I can't imagine putting that much effort into a one-off model without taking molds off it at least.

I'm embarking on my first 1/8th scratchbuild which I really want to put into production (I've already found this has its own problems) At the moment I'm still drawing up all the neccessary parts, which is taking forever. Do you mind if I contact you of the board and bug you with loads of questions please?

TIA,

John

Hi John

I´m working in various proyects at the present time, and of course I´m going to make molds to sell it, but I just want to make 3 or 5 models, and that´s it, no more, just a little edition of this model.

what model are you building? I like 1/8scale models, they are more "handy" because my large models are only for lobbies or great homes. I have a few friends who make 1/4 scratch models also, I do sell them to collectors around the world.
Feel free to email me if you want to chat a little more.
send me a PM and I will reply with my mail, skype and msn.
Best regards

Ever Lopez
