Interesting point Ramon: I guess a bit much for my skills, btw I'm wondering why I haven't thought before: power of workgroups!!! LOL

Very good job!

When is Mr Ping update coming?

Speaking of light shield: just a preview, not really the final job so far



Thaks everyone guys for comments, and yes Micha I guess those reporters feel fun , eggscape 'drivin LOL

Look at those spectacular headlight grilles.. and you doubt your skills to put some dents in the exhaust
Are the grilles photoetched ?

Looking good this build..

[agamo]

Wow!!!! Those grilles are A W E S O M E now please tell us how you made them? What you did to bend them to shape so well?

And you talk about a bit much for your skills????? C'mon!

But doing scratches and bents, is something we easily can do to anything, haha! LOL.
For the dents you just need to hit those exhaust pipes with something, you don't need big dents, just those generated by stones in the road, no need to redo painting. Unless of course you already assembled everything and the pipes are already glued, then forget it
And a coarse grit file can do some good scratches on the panels.

Keep this great working!

Martin (awesome job you're doing in those 7 man) and Ramon: yes grill are photoetched: I done with 0.1 mm German Silver metal sheet so is quetly easy bend, also the shape of the lamp cover isn't extremely complex and have a fold in the middle: hoping I'll find a way to glue w/out destroy the clearcoat (super-thin TS13): usually I done it with thinned (in water) white glue, but this time I guess I need something like epoxy stuff to pull in position.

Ramon you're tempting me: I'm wondering abot minor damnages, I've to search something for inspiration: if I remember right J.Tremblett done something magic speaking of weathering/aging . But at least she is just a Ferrari: my fear is my hevy hand LOL

Told you already. STONE WASHED!

[auw12]

wow that's wonderful!!!i was being waiting for the headlight mask,and it came out more than awesome i think!it's not easy to make such perfect fitness with PE parts on that kind of surface but you done really very nice buddy!

[gionc]

Some jobs on brakes: front and back side photoetched, inner part turned in alu. Front side polished with SM polishing sticks (3.2K+6K) and 2nd layer brunished with chemical brunisher (for german silver-alpacca). I though to cut out the horrible Revell system with double rims and replaced with 3mm rod.

Yet again, here you and I go raising the bar on each other for the perfect set of brakes....

Fantastic and fun thread. Excellent head lite grills and I agree about the brakes. You guys just keep pushing the envelope. I keep getting Ping and Pong mixed up, which is the good looking one and which is the smart one?

Les,

The one who can't write English is the clever, good looking one.
The one who writes lucidly and eloquently is the ugly fukwit.

Does that help?

[mikemechanic]

I really like those brakes. Can you tell me why some of the lug nuts are chrome and the others are just plastic, are they being replaced or is that just kit chrome that didnt come off?

Mike.
