At Sixes and Sevens: Super 7 Group Build

[gionc]

Seem you have kids in holiday away: you're working!!!!!!!!!

Great job mate, I really start to love those wing fenders, interesting details (weel weights are just in "klutz style") and awesome weathering and washing on weels.

the engine bay looks great, but the electrical wiring is wholly inaccurate. it's lucas, after all -- and so should have corroded connections and wires spliced together with big blobs of black electrical tape.

and where's the oil leak?

It's hidden beneath the glue blob

Steven - awesome work, as usual!

Nice work Klutz!
This is a nice thread to follow.

Minor progress.

Have wired up the headlights using .25mm wire and some wider insulation for a gromet.

Some mild dry brushing on the fitting.

Sorry for the dust - macro mode turns the slightest mole hill into a mountain and I am just to lazy to worry about it at this stage.





Thanks for lookiing in.

Incredible work stevenski!! reguardless of the accuracy the detail looks very good and it will definatly be a stunning machine when its done, Keep it up!!

I am getting frustratingly close to finishing this. I promised myself I won’t start on my next 2 projects until this one is finished and I just lost 90% of time I had planned for this over the weekend.

I did manage to fix the dash and cowling in place permanently and added a gear lever made out of a regular sewing pin dipped in metal primer and then dipped in Vallejo Satin black.

I also added some scratches to the interior panels with a toothpick dipped in aluminum paint to simulate some of the “wear and tear” caused by driver and passenger climbing into the car.





I wired the radiator fan and I also glued the rotors in place and did a test fit with my version. 1.0 resin wheels to check the stance. I am pretty happy with how it is looking.







I also made up the custom Prisoner number plates – KAR 120C (photo later)


Next step will be polishing the body of all the thumb prints etc before final assembly. I am also waiting for some white wrapping wire to try and put the piping on the seats and rear cover.

Thanks for looking in.

Stunnning! You really are putting a lot of effort in this one. Nice details once again. (Mine is finished, But I didn't get around to take pictures yet).

Cheers

This is really something, Steve. Stance looks perfect and I like your rims. I still can't get over that engine bay, thou. I love it.

Nice work Steve.
I just discovered your WIP, and, I have to say it is really nice!
I like the dashboard and the odometer, etc.... ;-)

Come on, you have almost finish.......and as you said, you may not begin another wip before ending this!

Ah.......that Ferrari 166MM...........

Greetings,

Jamme

Nice progress, Steve, it will be finished soon.

It took you 90% of the weekends time to decide what to build next? ;-))

This shows, that you have too much unbuilt kits - just like me

Andy should take the credit for those. He machined the master hub, I just cast and painted them. Hopefully he has been busy all weekend working on version 2.1....Andy??

The white wrapping wire arrived today. I haven't opened it yet but if all is well I should be able to do the seats tonight.
