Schwarz-Brot Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 😂 Oh you weirdo! I had to look twice. Well, you'll probably find no brake press with such an sharp edge in scale. Beautifully anarchistic tool usage! Hope you don't mess up your calipers with this kind of work. You deserve more thumbs up than I have on my body! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thanks Ron! To SB, 0,4mm aluminum sheets are not very hard... Don't worry about my calipers! Well, wings more and rigging! Not easy to show... All is riveted (aluminum rivets). Parts and settings (a lot of!) Dan. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 A joy to behold. Beautiful job, Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thanks Harvey, now you know... scratch building is every time a challenge even if some operation looks easy! Of course they don't! Strange car... All the "wings" are there! Really strange! Next sandblasting, not really an exiting job... Dan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver911 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Very nice work as ever Dan. May I ask...why the extreme of sandblasting? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Well, today is also a strange day... Why? This car is completed! In few days I will try to take some pics more... But I'm not a professional! To Ron, this pic explain the reason why sandblasting: To Harvey, I agree, good idea! I remember this movie... Now, I have to thank you for all! Kind words, always appreciated, and for that: This post will be #414. But I calculated the ratio before. 413 posts, 1348+++! Ratio= 3,26 ! It's may be a record... Now, the question is: What next? Be patient guys... Dan. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCrank Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This is an utterly outstanding result !!! However, I'm a bit disappointed !

Less mistakes and re-done after, less researches, more efficiency! 12 hours ago, JeroenS said: Can't wait for the next one, I'm curious! Sorry you have to wait! But I can give you a trail... It will be a french vehicle, as usual! Of course a rare one, not easy. Two or three still on the short list... Thanks again to all, Take care!

PROPELLER Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thank you very much gentlemen! I plan a little break, then maintenance of my workshop and repairing some trouble on the mill... Be sure I will come back! Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo NZ Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Dan, it is exquisite. I only wish I could build as accurately (and as fast) as you. And apologies, you might not understand this, but all those in the UK will. Trouble at t'mill? I didn't expect the S.......... woosh! Let's hope you have a comfy chair for your break. Difficult to get a clip without it being adulterated, but this will give you the idea... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi english people! I'm not sure to really understand, french people and english language, you know... I suppose it's a joke, bad one of course, with some slang and a lot of implied words, that would surely make me laugh too! We have in french somethings like that too, untranslatable of course. Thanks Jo and sorry my dear english fellows... Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
