935 turbo Martini (hundreds of machined parts)

My

Hallo to all,my intention is to build this model adding all the missing details in the Tamiya kit ,in this I will help me with the lathe and other machines , I will also use other simple materials without using aftermarket parts, the reference pictures I have are from the SMS cd,but many particulars of the real car are missed,a great help comes from the Jacky Ickx fans site and the Gunnar Racing site,the only problem is the really small size of the pictures .


The bodywork was washed,sanded,glued filled and painted with matt white professional spray over 2 coat of flat white primer.

Wooohooo, bring it on fella - I'm looking forward to this one already!opcorn:

I've always thought this model lends itself to scratchbuild detailing rather than going the SMS route (lovely though their parts are)

If I can make a suggestion on the body for starters please? Cut the oversized rear side window rubber moulding out as the original ran perspex bonded in place with a thin black siicone bead - it also gives you a chance to sand the kink out of the corner shape which is just plain ugly (and wrong)!

Good luck with the build!

After few days I applied the masking using Tamiya tape and Parafilm to realize the front stripe,than painted in flat red.

And this is the result after decaled and 2 layers of Lechler 1K automotive clear.

Welcome! The more crazy maching Italians here the better

[godfather23]

Yeah, welcome. Show us what you got. Awesome project. I always envy you guys tackling this one!

I'm confused, you did an excellent job on the body, but if your adding hundreds of machined details, why did you paint the body and leave the molded in hood pins? Do you have more body work to do?

[Nino Furicchio]

Thank you for the comments,I answer with order ,first in some photos the back side glass has the rubber gasket in others no ,like the wheel covers occasionally used, the continuous changes are normal in a racing car.
The hood pins are aftermarket parts photoetched for the precision, and if I'm not able to draw them in Adobe Illustrator I can't start the P.E. process what I cannot do from myself remains untouched in the original kit.

One of the rear wheels machined,the centers are the inner part of the original wheel machined at the lathe ;the crome has been eliminated with a mixture of water and ammoniac.

[Nino Furicchio]

And the particular of a inflating valve also machined from a 2 mm TIG welding bar.

[Nino Furicchio]

the 4 wheels finished ,now is difficult to find a color that perfectly simulates the aluminum to paint the centers of the rear wheels

[Decs0105]

That looks awesome so far, I will follow closely

[Dan66460]

Excellant work so far!!

The shock absorber all machined at the lathe,they are 4 pieces each one,the fillets are M2, the springs have the edges flattned by hand at the grinding machine . Thank you for the comments .
