Insane,bad and radical 1/18 inside....

[le66]

Those are some amazing works. I really like that last RT!!

Thanks F355,that pleases to me that you appreciate

When it's possible,I you will show some Viper which I made little time ago...

 

[le66]

You did an awesome job! I had an extra Burago GTS 1/24 scale so I tried to do the same thing. I got the whole thing disassembled and it was down to removing the windshield and rear glass (all one piece). You can imagine my frustration when a chipped off a piece of the windshield trying to get it out. I may go ahead and practice on this one. I also noticed the cockpit is the RT/10, not a GTS version. After disassembling, it really makes you appreciate the detail Burago put into it. Oh well, back to sniffing paint fumes.

Well,I bought my first RT-10 Burago 1/24 this week and side details it is catastrophic !! but it is intended for a a little special exercise, as soon as that takes form, I show it to you

 

[le66]

So,I do a exercice enough mad,I do some works in my house and one night,I've some remain of cement....

Then I draw up the roof and the back....

....and the front cap but my cement's to wet,I must start again with more hard cement...

[le66]

For the second test,my cement is more hard (just with a dry cement addition)

It's better to work this...

After the second hour,it's better than better so I saw a little problem with the front cap,his not satisfying about the volume of this (not long enough in front)...and I work this again for a better result:

So,the result is very good than I will hope,It's just for funny,one of my friend love it and ask me to do another car with this work,an Renault Alpine A110 but I don't start it for instance

 

[le66]

Hi everyone,

I've a new challenge about a GTS...of one of VCA members!! (it's a surprise...)

For the moment,I just began the body :

I removed the defects of moulding of the front cap,his fixing,and the front spoiler...

[le66]

About the front cap:

A big defect just near the top of the lettering "ViperGTScoupe"

It's a metal line which I eliminated on each side to the smooth file

[le66]

It is necessary to eliminate from metal by the top, in the round-off of the wing, to refine the defect to the maximum, it is necessary to work gently, metal is tender and to pay attention to lettering right below...

You must be registered for see images

After this work,you finish while sandpapering with paper of body n°600 dry...to remove the fine stripes of the file.

Final work:

[le66]

The same problem with the front spoiler...in large...with the same smooth file and sandpaper...

You must be registered for see images

 

[le66]

About the front cap fixing,it's not exactely the real fixing than the thrue,so I hate this one of Burago,and I work it well...

I start by removing the moulding under the cap, as on the picture

And the original fixing (horrible) before:

and after:

Here is for the moment, soon of other pics... Chris.

 

[OKViper]

You do INCREDIBLE work - I always look forward to watching your updates...

 

[le66]

So...thanks you for your interest with my work,I did not make large thing here ...

For the moment, I seek the exact color of the body with a professional catalogue:

When I know the reference of the color,I buy it...

More pics when the work as soon as advanced

 

[danfromohio]

I have always been interested in doing customizations like this, but I was always afraid of tearing up my models. Can you put some details up about how to swap out wheels between models? I have mostly Burago and Maisto.

 

[le66]

Hi Dan,

I've the same problem!!
All of set of wheels are different and the difficultie is to work them correctly to have a good result...

A example with a GTS and a set of wheels BBS (comming from Opel Calibra DTM)

You must be registered for see images

The wheels are fixed,can't turn,but there're better racing look...

A second problem comming from the tyres...not enough large...and when you see the back you've some little tyres,it's not very fine...

A picture of front wheel GTS in left,the BBS in middle,and a rear wheel GTS in right...just to see the problem...

You must be registered for see images

It's realy problem....

I've a solution but,for the first GEN of Burago frame...a set of wheels of Lamborghini Diablo,it's easy to change them and you've not problem with the tyres,it's the same than the GTS...

You must be registered for see images

About Maïsto versions,it's different,the fixing wheels is more hard to work,I' haven't example to show now,but it's not better than my first example...

Many times,I must work all fixing wheels and find some tyres...it's not an easy party!!

But I've not other solution for the moment...Chris

 

[danfromohio]

So there is no easy answer. That's what I was afraid of.

 

[le66]

I'm understant that...

For example,you've 3 different wheels only Burago...in back view:

up left a GTS,up right a SRT-10 and in down a RT-10...

You must be registered for see images

For GTS and RT,the change isn't a problem,but for the SRT,you must take the rotor disk at the first time,it's not the wheel who's the problem....

You must be registered for see images

This part's comming from a SRT and it's her who you must work and the 4 axles in the SRT frame,like here...stock axles and rotor...

You must be registered for see images

You must be registered for see images

So,here you have my last RT-10 with set of SRt wheels (Burago)...what I do to have this result? that is the question...(the rear wheel's just for the pic...the front is OK here but she's turn well...)

You must be registered for see images

You're afraid about this problem Dan?...don't see that so...

You must be registered for see images

And imagine what can I do...

 

[danfromohio]

Oh, wow, nice dragster!

 

[le66]

Hi...I have some problems to find the correct color for the body (GTS project) so my choise is Gloss Black and silver leaf for strips...for cockpit,an option COGNAC leather and...SRT set of wheels...

For the moment,I finish the body stage before painting...

 

[le66]

Here in right and left of rear spoiler,some metal defect near the wing and the rear spoiler...

one works with a half-round fine file to respect the curves of the wings and spoiler

You must be registered for see images

Well,you finish your work with a sandpapering with paper n°600 dry...

You must be registered for see images

 

[le66]

In the same time,you can see to work on the defect in right and right roof in rear,the result will be better...

[le66]

If you want to know exactely where you don't have sandpaper,you see that when you start it...at first,you've the varnih and the dust is white on the body and on your sandpaper...

You must be registered for see images

You must be registered for see images

Here on the front cap,there is lot of little defect on the top,so you must work it when the blue dust is comming on your paper...than here...
