Superb start. This is going to be another one of those "must see" WIPs! I can't wait.

Thanks for sharing,
Bill

Re: 935 turbo Martini (hundreds of machined parts)

Wow. Nino, did you thread the ends of those shocks? Did you use a small tap/die?

Re: 935 turbo Martini (hundreds of machined parts)


Yes,to have a better ride heigth of the finished model all 4 shocks are adjustable
(small adjustments), the rod of each shock must definitely be assembled with
thread locking chemical product (Loctite).The bottom part of the rear shocks is
the original kit shock modified at the lathe as follows in the picture.

One of the disc brakes comletely drilled ,new wheels hub machined at the lathe,
they has a filleted hole of M2 millimeters at the bottom and can be fitted easily
with the M2 screw in the kit

Re: 935 turbo Martini (hundreds of machined parts)

This is so cool! I would love to have these machines and make these parts. You really went all out on the shocks. I have never seen scale adjustable shocks. This is going to be phenomenal.

Re: 935 turbo Martini (hundreds of machined parts)

Thank you for the comments,I hope that my ideas will be useful also for you.
In the picture: the brakes with the wheel hubs,a new exagonal nut for the wheel locking completely
machined at the lathe made from aluminum exagonal bar (really hard to find
item in Italy,this one in particular is obtained from a old pen).The hexagonal
nuts that I have used before didn't convince a lot me but now is ok.

Re: 935 turbo Martini (hundreds of machined parts)


The motor has received a treatment of painting similar to what is used with
Alclad II, but as final color I have used silver acrylic Vallejo and finally a layer
of automotive clear 1K to seal the color underlying, the washings will be done
at the end. A new pulley set was machined at the lathe,the holes of lightening
are passing through and have been done on the divisor built by me,the pulley
belts are made with a special tape called Letraline made by Letraset.
