Scale-Master Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks Dave. No room for the big radial. And I use the same basic set up on my real Z/28... For the same reason...
Pete J. Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks Dave. No room for the big radial. And I use the same basic set up on my real Z/28... For the same reason... .... or you could delete the spare all together as a weight saver and run the car run flat tires like the most current BMWs. On a car of this weight, the spare tire delete would give a measurable improvement in performance. Edited May 7, 2011 by Pete J.
Scale-Master Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 The roll bar has been finished, textured and painted… The driver’s seat is coming along too…
Scale-Master Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 How did you "texture" that? It looks good Media blasted the parts then added talcum powder to the colors and applied paint on the dry side...
Scale-Master Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) The seats have been belted...… ScaleMotorSports hardware set and belts...… (Fresh from the GSL vendor room...) Seats are modified (reshaped) Tamiya units… Textured and slightly weathered/worn/aged/used… Edited May 12, 2011 by Scale-Master
Scale-Master Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 The pedal assembly with clutch and brake master cylinders is about ready to mount…
Romell R Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Excellent work my friend , looks like i'll be following this one.
Scale-Master Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 I shot the body parts last night… Custom mix Dupont, Violent Blue Pearl.
Clutch Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) That's a really nice colour, love the purple specks. This is a fantastic build, so much detail!! Edited May 20, 2011 by Clutch
RodneyBad Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 WOW!!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!! Detail work is Amazing and the Paint is, Well, Awesome.... The Paint, WOW!! (thought it was worth a second mention )
Foxer Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I think I would call that a paint that Popps! .. a great color!
Mr Core Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Great color, gives this classic a whole other look. Very nice work so far
LAone Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 wow, that color screams "drive me and drive me hard!" fantastic color and scratch building.
mcandela Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 WOW!!!! Love that blue. Did You shoot any clear on it already?
Scale-Master Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks guys. Yes, it has clear on it in those photos, (preferably the base color coat should be cleared in less than two hours from application). Since I am converting this one to Left Hand Drive, the dash needs to be reworked, well, it needs more detail too… Here is the stock kit RHD part. I sanded the ejection pin holes out of the “back side†which will become the new face. I drilled out the locations for the new gauges and some switches…
Scale-Master Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 The dash is painted and the toggle switches were made from sprue, the start button is a pin head. I decided to try chrome Mylar for the bezels instead of machining them. I think I’ll go back to machining for small items like these… Gauge faces and lights are decals I made.
Janne Herajärvi Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Vary cool progress. I really like that color.
gunner Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Fantastic work! Where do you get the gauge images for the decals?
Scale-Master Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Fantastic work! Where do you get the gauge images for the decals? I drew them. They are Auto Meter's.
Scale-Master Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Got the pulleys I made on along with the starter, alternator, distributor and manifold…
Scale-Master Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 The body paint is dry and waxed and the interior/chassis basic black painting is done… Most of the front suspension has been installed. The taillights have been installed. The engine has just been temporarily set into the car for the fitting of some other parts, but it does have the valve covers installed...
