Coppercat Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Thank you very much for your positive comments 🙂 Little progress: - I put the brake hoses, - I installed rear shock absorbers, - I pasted the sides of the engine compartment. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavian Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Amazing work. I am building a 1:12 250 GTO right now as well, and this is inspirational. The detail you are getting in the smaller scale is very impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercat Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 I did not know how to modify the tips of the air intakes (under the hood). I found a two-color (aluminum) foil. It is silver on one side and gold on the other side. It has a nice delicate texture. I thought: why not? And it turned out like this: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppercat Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Preliminary work on the frames of the headlights. After cutting and processing the plates, I caressed them with a stick and an eraser. It is bent from the flat bezel, but it matches the curvature of the reflector. Now I can drill holes for mounting rivets and then paint the frames (Molotow). I'm getting the taillights ready. They are weirdly large and I don't know if they will fit I wanted to create frames imitating frames and seals, but I must forget about it. I "bound" the pins for the production of hinges. There will be some. Body elements got the first base color layer. Gravity GC-107 Ferrari Rosso Corsa. I riveted the air intake tunnel on the hood. Master Club rivets 0.4 / 0.6 mm. to be continued ...... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercat Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 I did a caste fitting to the chassis. I tried on all moving parts (bonnet, hatch, radiator cap, doors). I found out that you can try to put it together, but it won't be easy. Photos from the fittings (all on the word of honor or Patafix) 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercat Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 I installed all the lights. There was a lot of it: - turn signals, - dipped beam, - position lights, - cabin lighting, - clocks backlight (done earlier). I glued in all the lampshades of all kinds. I made all the hinges of the moving parts: - doors (only one side in the photos below), - boot / spare wheel cover, - engine hood, - radiator cap. I also worked on details such as: - nets to mask various holes in the car body, - engine hood closing fittings, - matching the glazing, - air intake on the rear window, - a million other things that I have already installed or prepared for installation. and that's it ... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
