Small update.

The capri was stripped of his hoods and a door.
It was pretty easy.
The Würth Decals with printed discs are already there.

My model-making mojo is back and I continued building on the Capri right away.

The door has found its fastening.
I built the cage from the resin sides together with aluminum pipes.
I worked the rims from the back so far that you can see through the grille.
The vehicle height has now been determined.

Now I go to the subtleties like closing small holes before I start installing the motor-gearbox dummy.

I hope that the updates will follow a little faster because I now have the decals for the white Würth, the black D&W and the Liqui Moly Capri here.
So I have to build the Capri 3 times.

best regards
Christian

Go on.
The Capri was primed so far and now also filled with nitro filler. There were very few holes in the body.

Now it's time to fine-sand and then prime with white.
Will definitely be the Würth version by Klaus Ludwig.

Update:

The Capri has now been primed in white, the later base color.
Grind again and then comes the next layer which can hopefully remain the last.

Image

Besides that, I started this vehicle.

Image

First of all, the rough unevenness was removed with a 2k spatula and then spray spatula was applied.

Much remains to be done here.

Oh Christian,
those babies sure came out awesome. The Capri is not my cup of tea, but the model is perfect. And that 917/10 wow. Looking at the before and after screens I have to say "2k spatula" wasdattdenn (whatisit)? but the results surely speak for themselves. Now I really want you to lay them up in fibreglass. I know we've discussed this before. You know you want to :D
But knowing how these things go, I think we'll see the MFH version just about when your model is done, like with some of the other cars.

The only question I have, and I think I've asked that before and forgot about it (old timers disease) is what is the build envelope of your printer? Asking because - I know this is backseat driving (commenting after the fact) - I wouldn't have cut the nose into 3 parts, if possible, but rather have made a cut where the doors start and the 2nd cut right after the doors. I mean, your cleanup of the seams is flawless, but it might not have been necessary. Oh plus you would have the option of movable doors ;). From what I remember of the real 917s, the fins were separate pieces that were laminated onto the body at a later stage - smaller and less complex moulds etc.. :)
Cheers,
Roman

Thanks for the reply.
@Roman
The size of my printer is 210x210x205
I decided to cut the whole model in 5 pieces because of the shape. And I have to say that this was the first bigger print on my printer. So everything was new. Maybe now I would choose another method with different cuts.
But its not my goal to make a full detail with open doors and stuff. That's the goal of MFH.
Only want to add another cool car to the cabinet.

Thanks AJ!

Update Capri:

I painted the front spoiler and the doors with the airbrush.
With the spoiler, the decals wouldn't have worked.

Let's see how it works with the black on the fender. Maybe I have to do some paint afterwards.
