Joe66 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Seems to me that the further you go into this build the more you are ramping it up...I love it ! Just fantastic ! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Pascal, Wow! I have been fiddling with the idea of a lathe for a long time. Your work is amazing. Joel_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thx guys, time for a little update. It's only a small update, but it's the result of a lot of fiddling. Third version of the shocks, the diameter of the spring is a little bigger : Better then the second version, but then came the forth version :Not there yet, but with some bending of the spring (which is very hard to do) it will turn out ok. Made 2 small triangles from plasticard and glued them to the brass bars : The rough edges simulate welding, not much will be seen after the wheels are mounted, but it makes a solid base for the diagonal rod : Till next time.

Pascal Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Thx A small update, but it's the result of a couple of days work.Made some VERY small rings with the lathe. Outer diameter is 2,8mm :In this picture you can see a triangular shaped, grey colored part (bottom right of picture) :Took a couple of hours to replicate it from plasticard. I'm still debating if I will add the slit in the bottom :A copper tube will hold it in place :A dryfit on the gearbox :Judging from the super macro pictures, it still needs a bit of TLC.SincerelyPascal Hubert Boillot, Starfighter and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Pascal, Your scratchbuild detailing parts are amazing. The 4th generation of shocks is just perfect. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thx guys ! In the previous update, the triangular piece was fitted in the wrong way. The brass ring is supposed to be on the inside. Made another small aluminium ring with the lathe (and fitted the brass ring on the inside of the triangular piece) : Dryfit (the outside of the triangular piece will be detailled later on : Sincerely Pascal Gazzas, Starfighter and LSP_Paul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Been a while since the last update. Had to make a part of the shocks again (must be the 5th or 6th time). For my earlier versions, I used modified eyebolts. This time I used my lathe to cut small brass rings (2,5 mm diameter, 0,9 mm thickness) I soldered a piece of brass tube to the rings, this piece of tube is inserted into a piece of copper tube, then the assembly is inserted into the conical part of the shocks. The previous (eyebolt) version is at the bottom, the new assembly is on top : The ring is less thick then the eyebolt and the eye is larger : Used my lathe to make the "barrel" that's visible in the middle of this photo : (for reference only) And made a small aluminium ring that sits on top of the barrel. The ring will be held in place with a M1 hexagonal bolt. The ring is not fixed to the barrel yet, just a dryfit for the photos : Sincerely Pascal Hubert Boillot, LSP_Paul and Shawn M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Phenomenal, Pascal ... awesome scratch work. This is such a pleasure to watch. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thx guys Made a couple more really small parts. Started with a brass hexagonal rod, drilled a hole with the lathe, then cut them to shape with the lathe : Got some tips from a fellow modeller (Roy vd M.). I made these 4 mm rings.Started with a piece of brass rod, drilled a hole in the middle and with the mill I made 6 tiny cutouts in the rings. Finally the rings were cut off with the lathe :Dryfit on the shock :SincerelyPascal Shawn M, Hubert Boillot, mustang1989 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Been busy making very small parts. This construction is made with 5 pieces of plasticard and tubing. On the actual car, it holds the bracket for the large rear wing : It also serves as a mount for another part : With the lathe, I made a new connector for the driveshaft : Dryfit : Starfighter, mustang1989 and Shawn M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Made a new airjack. The rings and lid were made with the lathe : Hotwheels has moulded this piece of tubing to the cockpit : Ugly as hell, so I made a new one with a sewing needle : Dryfit : The cockpit floor received some plastic strips. I also made an oval-shaped hole for the wires to go thru : The largest hole in the middle of the dashboard, will get a knob : The knob is made from brass, a small ring will be added to the back of the knob : Luckily, I dont have to make the switches : A nice bottle of Jacob's Creek Chardonnay, gave me this piece of lead : The lead was used to make a tray (2 x 2,3 x 4 mm) for the circuitbreakers : The engine got some extra details : Tiny parts are hard to photograph : Lots of work, but great fun to do !
