Looking sweet wittmann! The details are excellent but I love the overall shape and feel to it

......Electric motors cowlings drilling..

....Scribing panel lines....

....Air deflector....

....Hood and door re alignement....

Bye!!

Hunter Rose · May 30, 2013, 11:08:19 AM

Now THAT is some damn tidy scribing!

Sharkdog · May 31, 2013, 02:54:34 AM

That is all some really impressive work there! Like Hunter says, the scribing is very neat and tidy.

I really like the shape of the door cutout, I kind of hope you're going to pose it open for that reason, but I can see it would spoil the lines a bit. Will be interesting to see how you decide to present this one after the fantastic setting for the ~~doom~~monowheel :)

Very nice!

JohnLogan · June 08, 2013, 07:29:17 PM

Yup! Better & better.

wittmann · June 09, 2013, 02:48:49 PM

Thanks a lot guys!

@Will...I'm thinking about.....I have not yet decided how to place the scene....but I think with the hood and the door open, to be able to see the structure and the mechanical parts...

@FichtenFoo......Thanks boss...

Wittman... I hate you, man. You are so good with the scratch-building it makes me want to cry.

I don't know that there would be a market for it, but if there were ever a video tutorial about scratch-building by you, I'd buy it.

wittmann · June 14, 2013, 02:33:10 PM

wooo...thanks a lot Inner Geek.....maybe... sooner or later...

Another little step....
....first coat of primer....

.....and first coat of dark aluminum (first shade-dark)

.....body primer..

See ya!!

FichtenFoo · June 14, 2013, 08:12:12 PM

Fantastic work. Really enjoying seeing this come together!

Jiloo · June 14, 2013, 10:57:46 PM

Painting. Yeah! Keep it going.

Hunter Rose · June 15, 2013, 12:25:09 AM

The interior details with the aluminium on looks fantastic

Dave Diaz · June 16, 2013, 11:13:22 AM

Thanks guys!!

....fortunately bugatti has used round head aluminum nails, not aeronautical rivets !!!

The first test...

...and the aeronautic recessed handle hole...

Bye!!

Riveting update

JohnLogan · June 21, 2013, 06:32:40 AM

Rivets....Niice...

The Magic Tuba Pixie · June 21, 2013, 04:58:08 PM

Oh, God, rivets. I did an MG Gogg with a bunch of rivets once, and that was enough. Though yours seems to be going along rather nicely! Good luck!

Hunter Rose · June 23, 2013, 10:42:38 AM

Looking good! Very precise riveting, nice
