Ghost69 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Hello The car is finished. In the autumn I'll make the glass window with the mirrored background part. The figurine that will be animated is 80% done, the program is ok. I retain 2 things, the "handmade" is the incredible thing for people, as well as the realization of the aluminium body (especially the engine bonnet with its louvers and the rear curve of the body). All this was a first experience and I had a lot of fun with it...so there will be another car that is maturing in my head. For the few "perfectionists" of the Fiatb 806, ok it is not perfect but the project is finished and as I say: "It's only a model and its value is only what I give it". Oh, I forgot, it caught the eye of a friend who makes a paper fanzine and who wants to put a picture and a link to my work, and other requests.... Thanks to you all Edit 21/08/2021 Hello You may have noticed that on some of the pictures there is a figurine. This figure is an integral part of my car. A challenge was to turn it into an automaton. To see the details of its realization I propose you to see its realization page 6: Automaton of my figurine In this section of the forum, I propose you the video of the figurine animated with the noise of the engine....after a few seconds, she nods "ok my boy, you can start the engine", then she looks at the different instruments of her dashboard....

Toftdale Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 There's only one thing I don't like about this,...its not on my shelf! To call it a model really undersells your achievement. Truly inspirational thanks for sharing - Andy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 That looks a hefty beast! Extremely well done though, it's hard to believe that you built this one from scratch such is the quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Oh boy, this leaves me speechless (for the next couple of days!). Scratch-built you say? I wouldn't even get the instrument panel so realistic. This must have been a two years' work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 C'est magnifique! A really impressive piece of model-making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PZRGREN Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It has all been said before but this is a work of art by an master of the art! And I love your quote from the build: When you start such a project without knowing how to do it, you can only progress. I hope the foreman get his credit too! Best wishes, Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Superb piece of scale model engineering. I like the idea of showing the inner pieces by the half body build. Driver Figure is good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
