Nice work on the body i've been following your latest developments , does your engine came from what car , since the model does not have one where you get one.
I like the superdetailing job it's nice to see ,all the doors and trunk open, it must be a patience job , for the door does you follow our brasilian modeler on the work, bend some wire and glue perfurated tree branches on the chassis.
Good modellind best regards

yeah I know.. the hinges are to big for a 1/24 so I trashed the underchassis and the hinges yesterday.. I will still build it though.. You´ll se what I mean later on

So you cut everything where the doors and other opened parts works, if i understand your work, and then glue some parts from other kits to make the pieces works.
I see several ways to do so but i never try to build one that way, on this time i am learning to work with photoetch, the hard way is working on the pieces and trying to understand where to glue some of them, and then what pieces have to be cut to aplicate the etched parts, it's Rossis Bike Yamaha m1 with two sets of photoetch one from st 27 and the second from Lion Roar, to make a full over detailed bike.

Keep going!

Worked quite much with this one today.. Got the underchassis about 75% completed.. and for the rest.. ahh see for yourself

The interior and the "engine room "?



Underchassis.. as you can see there is quite much left... still got some puttying to sand and some other minor things..



Recognize all the parts? hehe.. This is a REALLY fun build.. but it´s quite tricky to get everything to fit properly..



That´s it for now... hope you like it
