Hey dudes!

Today i saw an big mistake when i look at the capri.

Image
The wheelhouses are crap.
I made them way to small.You can see it marked with a pencil.

Image

This is my second problem.This part should look like the next pic.

Image

The capri is missing a mesh.How can i make this mesh?
With pe parts?
But how can i make them?
Or where can i buy them in the right size?

Kind Regards
Christian

Tommorow i will work a bit on the right shape of the wing,because its a bit to round at some points.

Thats all for now.

Hi,
today i began with the wet sanding procedur.
I put some contrast color on it,and began to work at the big areas.

Image

After the big areas i must make the smal radiuses.

Image

The first sanding was made with 600 wet sanding paper.
After that,i make a new layer of primer,and again sanding it with 1200 paper.
This goes on until the surface looks good enough.

Kind Regards

Hello,

here is the finished body of the capri.

Image

Everything is on the right place right now.
I made the lines of the bodyparts where i cut them when i have laminated it.

Image

At the front i used a wrong size first on the right side,but now its ok.

Image

And a pic from the back side.

Image

Now its all done.When i have more time for modeling,i will make the parts of laminat for the body parts.
Meanwhile i made a mould for the seat.I used a seat from the porsche 935,made some changes,and put them in resin.Now i can made as much i need,because there is the ford c100 waiting for his seat.

Image

Kind Regards
