Re: Mercedes AMG W12 2021
Somehow things are only progressing slowly, but this week it was my birthday too and I couldn't do anything, then I was vaccinated and didn't feel so good...
but other times will come too.
But yesterday I did something again and wanted to keep you up to date.
I am not entirely satisfied myself, so I think I will correct it. Some positions do not fit as exactly as desired - but I only noticed afterwards and since I still need 2-3 additional decals this should not be a problem when reordering.
Basically the rear wing is still missing, but here I still have to prepare the carbon decals and then the airbox is missing - I've honestly avoided this until now.

Re: Mercedes AMG W12 2021
Thanks Guido
Yes the decals are very nice and and legible down to the smallest details - a very good print. They're a little "hard" and slow to soften, but it can be done.

Re: Mercedes AMG W12 2021
Let's update the weekend work
I started with the tires. I also have to admit I'm further than the pictures show... the hubs are already made. But unfortunately the camera wasn't faster.

Then I finished the front wing with clear varnish. The carbon comes out very well.
I add a picture of the entire front wing. I forgot about the detail shots.

I also provided the rear wing with carbon and then applied the sponsor decals. And then finished with clear lacquer as well.

Re: Mercedes AMG W12 2021
That´´s really amazing, man!!! Just one "but", don´t you think the suspensions would have looked better with the stockings system? Just sayin´...

I have to say I actually like it a lot and the stocking technique is difficult to implement on the wheel suspensions. But I have to say it's a little rough (I'll change it for the Aston) and I've also thought about darkening it a little with Smoke. But thank you for taking up the topic. Let's have a discussion and tell me what you think about it!

Re: Mercedes AMG W12 2021
Hi Thomas,
Have you thought about making your own carbon fiber decal using the stocking method and then lay the decal on parts? It may be easier than spraying directly onto small parts or parts with complicate shapes.
