Roy vd M. Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I really like the progress seen in the last posts, as always with Mr Propeller's works. Again a unique masterpiece-to-be for the display case. Great colour blue, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks Roy! About the blue_ same color (glacier blue, RAL 5024) used on the chassis of the Talbot, why?_ unfortunately the flash give a too strong blue... In fact, it's in reality very close to the original one: Another enigma, for me... Thanks for looking! Dan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Well, today rims, spokes and so one... First, rims. PVC fitting for plumbers! Some holes required. Only 624 in total. Big holes? Yes, you will understand in a future post. Small ones too: And of course, a jig! What is this? A spoke trap! For fun before nightmare...

PROPELLER Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thank you very much gentlemen! To Harvey, this sort of direct dividing head is very useful for scratch building... And very easy to use. Sometimes you can find it on Ebay, around €100. Dan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks sharknose... Welcome in the nightmare! And now, you can understand the reason why of big holes in the rims. Another mix P/P*...
