Hi Micha,
thank you very much! Nice to "talk" to you, beeing one of the most active members and accurate workers in this forum! Congratulations for all your fine work!
Well, i don't know by now how deep this is going to be. Building the diff. was quite a challenge and i had much fun, BUT if i can go on like that with the whole car.....let's see. I'm as curious as you......not kidding you!!!! The front of the Aston is another big theme, i already spend lots of time and thats demanding, because i think the subject/look is worth it. I have something veeeery special in my mind depending the wheels. I will give it a try tonight.
PS: The scaleproduction wheels/rims ROCK!!!! That's why i ordered a second set today, this time chromed.........mmhhhh slurp.....


Hello big kahuna,
thank you very much!! It's exciting how deep you can fall "in love" with special areas or parts!


Hi jano11,
thanks for your suggest, i'm fine with that one by now. If i think about the rest of the kit / build i have to take a look into the future or it will take me years....

Greetings

Hello all,
here's my new try-out, this time the tires. It took me some hairs of my wife, a good glue and billions of nerves......but it came out pretty nice.
First picture without paint, then airbrushed with a kind of anthrazit.






Let's see if i can manage the 3 left overs also, the front wheels are lower as you can imagine....

Bye for now
Jochen

Naaah...! I told you Jochen, I like your clean hand and this is a further example, despite (but it could be the photo itself) the cuts seem a bit too evident at my eyes.

Wow Jochen,

I am impressed. I guess this is the first time I see someone detailing the side walls of the tires.

In spite of being super thin, I agree with Robi, on the photos they appear rather dominant. Maybe a little darker colour can solve this.

Nevertheless, great work so far

HI

the diffusor looks amazing

Outstanding stuff

I am glued for the next update!

[tuned.by.twenty]

Great tires! Interesting way of detailing them...

[KevHw]

Amazing attention to detail. Never seen someone do that to the sidewalls and it's fascinating to watch. Great job on the diffuser too! Can't wait for more.

[jochen kieslich]

First of all, Thank you all very much for your kind words!
Nice to be obeyed (in a very positive way).

Dear Micha,
Dear RobiJ
when “i follow my own progress” I simply have to admit that by the time I took the pics above the structure was simply still too “thick” due to the diameter of my wife’s hair…..:-(
I told her too bad (just kidding) and you both were right (even with the colour, perfect hint with a bit darker colour, thanx Micha)
Actually i made new tryouts, this time with hairs from my 17 month old daughter and …….guess what?! They are perfect!! I’ll post some pictures later on. The hairs are so thin, i fixed one rear and one front tyre, I never ever glued thinner “(body-)parts”.

Hi Mikezibit,
Thanks for your compliment, it was both fun and a challenge to build and I’m very happy with the result. I’m excited on how it will come out once when painted…..

Hello Stevenski,
it really makes me proud to receive this nice and positive note from you!
I spend quite a while ….;-) studying your work, effort and support in this forum.
Chapeau!
Thanks again! That’s pretty compulsive and motivating for the future and/or next projects.

Hi tuned.by.twenty
Hi KevHw,
Thanks to you gents! It’s VERY nice to see that my work is obeyed by other enthusiasts. My actual grade/demand of detailing is a new level for me also,
thus I made 1:35 Military Modelling (which was also demanding, of course). But this evil-looking Aston Martin is such a challenge, I can’t resist to give it back somehow…..man, this becomes a mental thing…….it’s something like a tribute-built.

So, have a nice weekend all of you
Bye
Jochen

Jochen:

Could you post more pictures of how you attached your rear diffuser to the kit part. I have this same kit, and will probably do what you did with the rear diffuser.

Thanks in advance

[nugundam93]

wow. love your attention to detail, and the diffuser might be the best part of the aston.

[jochen kieslich]

HI 69*goat
thank you very much for your question and interest. I'll post some pics and a few remarks, actally i'm on vacation and don't have the opportunities to work on my PC like i used to do. You'll get the demanded information, gimme some days.
Bye for now

Hello nugundam93,
thanks a lot, i hope things will go on like that part.....don't you all forget, this is only one part of a BIG thing....;-)

More pics about to come next week.
Bye
Jochen

Hello honoured community,
finally i got my first reworked vent / air exhaust done.
In the beginning I wasn’t willing to change the casted one due to the fact that I was scared not to ruin the body / form, but it’s truly out of scale and influences the look of the whole car. Thanks to Sasa, his great work gave me the impulse to try it.
It took me two attempts, it’s a strange part because the look of that part depends on the cover bracket / angle of sight….on one hand it seems vertically on the other hand it seems to appear a bit angular. So I decided to call this one “my way of interpretation” and I’m fine with it since I still have to make the left one. Ufff….







Second part of my update is about the tyres, unfortunately prior to painting them with the airbrush. Therefore you can see how it’s done. Like I wrote before, this time I’ve chosen even thinner hair from my beloved 17month-old daughter. That’s good, I’ll leave the structure like that.







That’s it for now
Cheers and have a good time
Jochen

[sjelic]

Nice Jochen, you did those vents much better then I did, in the end I was looking and looking and figured out that I made them to small
Yours look much better.

[jochen kieslich]

Dear community,
time to give "a proof of life"......;-)
Slow progress at the moment, i spent quite a while to get the racing machine it's right shoe gear done.
Central lockings were each scratched out of three parts, it's a bit like a guess work althought i was so much inspired by Robi J's pics, thanks again, even running danger to bore you, but these pics were a fortune, man!!!
After ruining my first set of these wunderful scaleproduction-rims/slicks i'm fine with that second set as it appears by now after a lot of work. I'm awaiting the official yearbook from the 24hours-Race, so maybe there are some more interesting detail shots of the sidewalls (e.g. small individuell marks written by the crew or small stickers or marks from chalk.....?)
I understand Sasa for being a wheel-nazi, yes, please, let me also be a member of the "AWF" (AnonymousWheelFanatics).
Thanks for watching, i like this place a lot!









Bye for now.
Jochen
