I have made to slightly foolish decision to start another car before my current build is finished but what an absolute legend of a car to build This choice has been made after seeing imsters amazing 787b build a while ago since then I have bought 2 787bs both in the renown colours so please do forgive the picture quality as the plastic a really hard colour to get a good photo of. So this is my plan. People that have seen my last few builds will know I have made quite a few alterations to the base kits and I cam confirm that way of thinking won't change with this car, if anything this will be my most ambitious build to date. Bits I have. 2 base kits 2 etch sets Wheels set And apparently too much time on my hands Right enough typing and on with the build The box The decals on both kits are in really top condition plus I also have the studio 27 decals to make the jspc efini car so depending on how well this goes I may make the efini car In the future The etch sets , I am weighing up buying the hobby design etch set as well as that looks to have a lot of bits no catered for in the below sets The wheels, I can't take credit for these as they came with the second car bought already made. They have been put together really well and only require a bit of cleaning up so I won't try and get them apart to do myself No for some plastic This is how the body started And this is how it looks now The nose and doors My plan is to have the doors on some proper homemade hinges so I ground the mechanism out ( the small section near the outside front) I just now need to finalise the figure out the best way to hinge it so it opens like the real car One thing I did realise only after cutting it up was the cockpit now has no mounting points to the floor so I added these blocks ( blue/white bits) to areas inside the body and drilled into them And then added these metal tubes to the upper part of the floor So if now has a permanent fixture point Not a great picture I know, way too much orange. It has helped with body placement having a second uncut up body and I can now keep the other car to make the efini car now as the doors and nose came off this with no damage to either part so I didn't need a second car after all Now I need to find a good way to mount the doors properly, should be interesting More soon Shaun
