Guest Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just amazing detail. Love watching this build.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi, Thanks Harvey! First of all, sorry for the (very!) poor quality pics... I will try to make some better tomorrow. Brake calipers and the stub axle (?) were chemically burnished. Brake calipers were "stolen" to the M19 in order to replace those supplied in the kit.

pg265 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 rear axle parts are prepared and drilled... too much drilled! I had to play with the low temp solder in order to fill the hole in the lower part, then sand, but now it's ok. Brass knobs for the dampers. Same method than those done for the Ferrari 312F1. They will be burnished. Primer and paint for everybody: More soon. Pascal LSP_Paul and Fooesboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi, Few progress. As usual, radiator is filled. Better pics than those from yesterday: Weld lines added. It's a bit rude for now, but with primer and flat black it should be ok. If not... I'll undo it and will make the weld lines with the iron as it was tested initially. Dampers almost finished. A Koni stucker was added... Just now need a light oil wash. More soon. Pascal ShelbyGT500, Fooesboy and LSP_Paul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pg265 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi, Thank you very much Primer and paint session . Front dampers clear coated: Not that happy with the weld lines I find pretty rude and out of scale... I will decide what to do after "weathering" job on this side exhaust.

pg265 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi, Update on the Gearbox/Engine assembly and test fit: cooool! Time for pictures: Maybe I will do something like that for the weld lines: More soon. Pascal Fooesboy and LSP_Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thats a real engine, you don't fool me !........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Very nice progress Pascal! Weld lines are always challenging, but I know you will work until you are happy with them. I think your welds look very nice myself . The rear power unit and suspension look beautiful all together. Keep up the inspiring progress!

thefenders Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Amazing detail and workmanship!! Can't wait until Melbourne! I hope FIA ditches those whimpy v-6's and goes back to real engines, the v-12 or at least v-10's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi, Thanks This is the other solution regarding the exhaust weld lines. I made a real flat weld line with low temp solder. It was then masked with liquid mask and treated with burnishing product. A mask a bit larger was then done before shooting primer and mat black I think I will add few accessories: Pascal LSP_Paul, rafju and geedubelyer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi, Not that happy with the former result: Plouf! gone to swim in the cellulose thinner. New black layer sprayed ZP Black on the gloves too: ... and Pure White on the helmet: Maskol off, ZP Translucent blue and W&N Ivory black wash down on the weld lines area: Not decided yet... Couldn't resist to compare the DFV with the 500 F2 engine! Should have done the same with the Tipo 218 V12 of the312F1...
