ferrari f1-2000 japan gp

Recommended Posts

Right now the skyline is done with I thought that after doing so many things with doors I will go back to making f1 cars

So this is what I have: the base tamiya kit

Top studio full detail set

Scale motor sport carbon decals

Tabu Marlboro decals

Studio 27 japan gp conversion wing set

This will be made up as the Schumacher car, you can't make a car that won the championship as the second driver, not sure about the time frame due to needing to buy the paints from Hiroboy asap and the amount of work I want to put in to it.

But saying that this is where I am upto and the bits I have

All the little extras

The top studio set

The studio 27 front wing (the tamiya one is arrow shaped)

And now with what I have done

I have stuck the monocoque together and cut off the nose cone mounting point ready for the detail parts

The nose cone is a bit odd as it's made up all in 1 apart from the wing pillars

The engine cover has been made up

And I have put the 2 halves of the engine together and mock fitted it to the floor

More to come soon

Right so a lot more to show on this build now

The eninge has been painted alclad duraminium

The floor pan had been primed and painted red, the next step is to mask off some areas and paint black then I can get on with some decals

20150929_182834_zps6mjgdsxs.jpg

The main body parts have been painted zeros pre 2004 ferrari red

20150929_182827_zpsmjqashej.jpg

And all the parts that are red in this picture are associated with this build

More to come soon

Thanks Jim

A small amount has been done on this today, not much but it's tomorrow that this should progress massively

The exhausts have been painted alclad steel and mocked to the engine to see how they look

Apart from this today has been a day of finishing up the painting from yesterday and getting bits ready for tomorrow

Thanks for the kind words Roger

Right so on with the build

The floor pan is almost done just a few decals needed to finish it off

20151002_212516_zpsjuxbb2ue.jpg

The nose cone has had all decals put on bar the Ferrari badge, I like to put the Ferrari logos on last it's one of those odd traits I have

20151002_212539_zpsb87vf346.jpg

The engine cover is almost done as well just missing the marl from Marlboro and the fedex decals, which I might add are being a pain in the butt

20151002_212550_zpspynbqvn9.jpg

The main tub has been decalled as well minus the Ferrari badges

20151002_212530_zpsy6qtspi5.jpg

And a quick mock up before finishing

20151002_212757_zpsytn24zjr.jpg

The body is now finished I have added carbon to the front bulkhead as well to give it a more real look

20151005_144633_zpsl0cndyxh.jpg

And last the rim have been done. the ones for this build are on the right, the others are for my 248 f1 build

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the comments guys

So finally I have been able to persuade the other half to let me bring the drying cabinet in from the conservatory so now all my modelling bits are within a small space as just behind the cabinet on the other side of the window is my drying box so it makes life more efficient

20151011_190303_zpsxjeipcyh.jpg

So on with the build and a bit of bad news. I dropped the car in between coats of clear but the damage isn't that noticeable so I will carry on and to top that off the clear coat has eaten/wrinkled the carbon decals on the floor for some reason

20151013_115151_zpsvcrk4fc8.jpg

Here is the monocoque, the main damage is to the lower suspension mounting point at the front of the car and to where the camera pod will go but this will be hidden when done so not to much of a problem

20151013_115014_zpsnakldomr.jpg

Just need to polish up the body then I can start work on the greasy bits of the car

Thanks for looking
