Dave B Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 First things first I'm once again thanking my old mate Phil for resin printing my file for me and providing the decals. This is my take on C100 chassis #4 that entered the 1982 Le Mans as entry #6. It qualified well, 6th, but was a dnf, being let down by electrics. Along with the Ford F3L this may have been another lost opportunity for Ford to do well on the international scene. I've raided the parts box for various bits and pieces, intake trumpets, photo etched seat belt, windscreen wiper, etc. I've also used styrene tube and sheet. The model is finished in acrylic white, clear coated and polished. Now to continue on the Alfa 33 Stradale!! Tks for looking.

Pierre Rivard Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Another masterpiece from your bench Dave. Do you have special methods or materials to take out the surface irregularities from the printing process? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Chernosky Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Don't see this model very often ..if at all. Always a pleasure to see your creativity and mastery of this craft. Well done Dave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Very nice build of an almost forgotten FORD. White is hard to get right, but you seem to have mastered it, great paint job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pierre, when Phil was using filament I'd coat the model in auto stop putty but now he's printing in resin for me I just use auto acrylic undercoat and sand, plenty of times!! The shame is in around 6 months the layers will just become visible. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
