Hannes Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The first of the 2 cam fairings now is ready for getting connected with the bonnets and it´s hollow inside of course . I´ll post a drawing today or tomorrow to show how I made it . Many greetings ! Hannes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannes Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Dear Dan , the whole car looks like a spaceship ! At that time the first rockets appeared and in 1928 the Opel Rak 2 was a good example for a rocket on wheels . Many greetings ! Hannes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannes Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thanks , dear Olivier ! In the meantime the first cam fairing is mounted to the bonnets but I won´t show no pics anymore in the next time . If I show pics of unfinished stages of sculptural work it´s like a painter shows an unfinished painting . Many people don´t understand that parts must get altered till everything falls into place and the steps between don´t seem to be very interesting .That´s the reason why I drew this scetch : To show how much work is needed for a simple part . And of course it´s more elaborated now . BTW : I like your "nose" paintjob on your Mustang very much ! Hannes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannes Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The basic shape of the bonnets is achieved , cam fairings and hinges row are at their places. There´s still some minor work left , especially at the inside of the bonnets but I will wait with that till the engine is inserted and the final primer / paintworks need to be done . For now I´m content and I will focus on my next project : The " astronaut´s " seat including it´s fairing .👨🚀 Many greetings ! Hannes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannes Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I connected both basic plates of the driver´s seat by a hinge and the upper plate with the seat fairing . The whole construction is removable and now it´s time to start with " upholstery " works .I will use thick plastic plates and try to give them a convincing structure by carving , cutting , filing and sanding. No leather coating is provided because even the thinnest leather will simplify the complicated upholstery pattern .I intent to paint the seat , only the strip on the fairing will be made out of leather or similar . It´s interesting to see repetitions of the form language .The frontal opening of the radiator case corresponds with the seat and both parts are on the same height level . What a great design ! Many greetings ! Hannes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Fine looking indeed! But, bad news, wheels seems now very poor on this beautiful body. Just a personal thought, I'm sorry... Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannes Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 That´s correct , dear Dan . They will get altered of course and were shown only for comparison purposes .It´s also helpful for judging the dimensions and keeping the rear axle in balance . We don´t have many sources and even if there are 2 drawings they don´t always correspond with the real car . That´s why I´m forced to use artistic methods to reconstruct it . Don´t worry , the wheels will look good in the end ! Many greetings ! Hannes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannes Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 We can see one of the examples where none of the two drawings 1 and 2 is correct if we look at the side-views of the seat´s upholstery . Whereas on drawing 2 a spinal cord-destroying shortened seat with no fairing and almost no upholstery can be seen , the seat on drawing 1 is closer to reality . Photo 28 shows the truth : The upholstery is blown like a balloon and most likely filled with a lot of horse´s hairs . So-what to do if you want to represent it on your model? The aesthetically bad looking photo 28 version is not an option for me . I guess , drawing 1 will be the foundation for my upholstery . What do you think ?
