Hi all, from sunny and windy Sydney.
I'll post progress of 5 days (I wish I could spend all my time making my GTO, though maybe 1-2 hours a day).
I'm sure I'm approaching to the goal (except the left door).
Masked and sprayed the window rims.
0.3mm Plastic paper was adhered to the side of rear window. It could be a bit thinner, but I thought thinner materials would trace the rough surface. This was cool enough for me.
Front hood stay. Mainly just made from 0.5mm nickel silver and plastic bar to be adhered to the body, but to show as if it was dumper, I just added the brass tube. ....I forgot to take photo of rear one (rear one was simple, as the real one was).
Finally the body and chassis were docked. Still lots of adjustment for the stays of front and rear hoods, height of the interior tub.... and so on.
I normally trim the edges of the back of the wheels. I don't know why car model manufactures make me do this messy job.
Then simply masked the wheel centres. I could take off the plating, but after painting the metal-look paints, it's all the same, we can't touch so much. I took an easier way.
Sprayed Flat Aluminum (Tamiya enamel XF-16) and the air valves were attached. I bought these valves about 10 years ago.
Tyres were attached. Now I can see this is a car, indeed. Luckily, it seems like I don't need to adjust the height again.
I need to hurry up instead of watching, but I can't help smiling watching this "almost finished" appearance.
It was lucky I didn't need too much time to adjust and fit the head light units.
Left door is now under repair, but just some small jobs to do!!
And I'll be making wipers, fitting emblems, mirrors and show case as well very soon.
I hope I could tell "I finished!!" on the next post.
Have a happy Monday... :)
