pg265 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi, Thank you very much. The stitching is made with a sharp tool to embossed the lead foil. Front end of the McLaren is still progressing and almost done. Pascal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharknose156 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Very well done. Bravo Pascal. i just received my first batch of Gravity colors to paint my Fiat Mefisto. I was encouraged by your fantastic results. by the way i noticed you use the Iwata Neo, how do you find it ? more precise than the Harder & Steenbeck ( which i find quite perfect and very easy to clean ) ps what is the size of the full car ?

pg265 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi, Thanks a lot Mates! @Sharknose: The length is about 20/21 cm, 10/11cm width and about 9cm high. I sold my NEO after one test. not very satisfied... I love airbrushes and have different ones, Iwata(s), Tamiya(s), DeVilbiss, H&S (infinity 2in1), Badger(s), Sparmax Flat Pattern too ... The 2in 1 is great, the Iwata HP-TH Flat Pattern is...AWESOME, I don't know how I will do without my HG Trigger Tamiya... I love them!!! Few progress on the M7A of the Boss. Prep, primer and ZP SG Black. details added: I forgot this part... so Orange is out. Need to clear coat... or not... new color test... ...PGo for this one: Details on the masts with the linkage bracket: New parts made: A bit disappointed due to the fact I din't have enough nuts to make a better detailing... test fitting: Cooling duct connected. Alu tape having fun into a bath of MEK : C'est tout. More soon. Pascal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 A bit disappointed due to the fact I din't have enough nuts to make a better detailing... Heck, if my 'detailing' was half as good as yours Pascal, I'd never be disappointed with a model ever again!! Can I ask why the Alu tape is in a bath of Mek? What will you be using it for? More really stunning work! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharknose156 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks Pascal. Looks fantastic. i like the color of the windshield. It is all getting very tidy and real. i bet sometimes you just look at the engine and expect it to come to life ! sound, smoke and smell, Cosworth RPM's barking low/high, low/high to warm up the engine ...

keefr22 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ...sound, smoke and smell, Cosworth RPM's barking low/high, low/high to warm up the engine ... Wouldn't it be great if he could model that...??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi, RRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! Small progress on Bruce's M7. I spent a loooong time to find a solution and to succeed in modifying the rear tie rods: I didn't like that much the original ones. I also added the brake lines . As the build is on a good way, I took some pictures of the M7 next to the 312 and the body of a Lotus 49... More soon! Pascal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just lovely! Those cars are so much more beautiful than the aerodynamic devices that follow each other around the track today! No wonder historic racing is getting ever more popular! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pg265 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi, Sooooooo much time since the last post First, coolant pipe. The one which is running under the right side of the Body. Masked, primed, painted and quickly clear coated with brush and Klear. Installed and connected to the water pump on the engine side and to the radiator on the front end. Same thing on the left side. Stabilizing bar and rear view mirrors polished: The intake trumpets are made of brass and need another color. As usual with that kind of part, I prefer a chemical traetment. So, the mesh is burnished with a blackening agent and slightly dry brushed with Metal Cote Polished Steel. Then a thin aluminum band is installed around the base of the mesh. An example on the MFH Lotus 49 DFV intakes, then on the AWESOME Widia velocity stacks of the McLaren. Fuel pump, expansion bowl (?...) and wing mounts installed. The engine mounting plates are rebuilt and installed with RBMotion hardware. Time for the Papaya to have wheels. Central seam line is sanded. The blue ring is a mix of US Navy paints from Model Master Acryl. Tires are airbrushed thru the MFH tool. A last look on the caliper and its details... Shoes or socks on! Nose on: with her red friend: already thinking to the next one... More soon. The end is not far.  Sorry once again for being absent for so long...

pg265 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Bonsoir, Thank you very much Mates Here we are! The Roaring Papaya is finished. Mat black after masking: Windshield is installed with 0.7 resin rivets. Mirrors, Dzus and metal rivets of the front hatch are also now done. I'm trying to take better pics maybe a bit later... I hope this wip was plesant for you. As usual, comments and remarks are welcome. Pascal Edited September 18, 2017 by pg265 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
