I am at the moment on the McLaren MCL35M... and the decal for the W12 arrived, too. Some a lot of work to do ;)
You are doing a great job both on W12 and AMR21.
I have a question: the MCL35M is at the same level or the mc laren 3D model is poorer of details?
I In order not to lose track of things, I gave the McLaren a topic of their own... :D

I designed some seatbelt elements for the AMR21, adjusters and the buckle.

Here the original buckle and adjuster form Sabelt.

I painted it in silver... and added the yellow Sabelt dot - decals are to small for this area. :lol:

The adjusters work exactly like the originals. The belt is deflected over the roller (here a 0.35mm wire) and can thus be adjusted.

Thanks guys, I'm happy that you like it too.
I also found the shape of the buckle interesting and thought it was a nice detail. :D

So I continued with the decals... and I would say I now have a version of the side stripes that I will "test" on the model. :D It was not that easy to get the exact course from the pictures. There are many dark spots on the vehicle where even a subsequent exposure of the photos usually did not do much. The contrast of the stripes is just not great. :roll:

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3475.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3476.jpg

And then today I tested the color. Just apply it without a primer, just to see how it works. A bit dark in my opinion, but I'll take a look at it in the sunlight tomorrow, assuming the sun is shining! :lol: But basically it looks like a great color effect with the predominantly white decals.
It also reminds me a little of Jaguar.

FWIW, Mercs, Astons and even Alpha Taurii look (specially from the front) look virtually the same. Solid colors tend to really dark on the TV. No wonder Marlin went for rocket fluo red.

I have adjusted the front suspension so that it can be plugged in very easily in order to have a little space for painting. The thinnest wishbone can now be easily plugged into the body using a small piece of brass wire.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3489.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3490.jpg

The rear part of the nose was glued to the chassis, since the gap is also present on the real vehicle, I only filled it with liquid resin and cured it. The surface is sanded and then the slot is neatly redrawn with an engraving blade.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3491.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3492.jpg

In between, a little test to see if everything fits and what it looks like after adding the parts.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3493.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3494.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3495.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3496.jpg

The nose also fits well, this will later be attached to the already fixed nose part with 2 brass pins.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3497.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3498.jpg

The headrest would have to be reworked a little to be able to insert it easily, here too I made a little more space for painting the parts. In addition, 2 brass pins were used to be able to insert the support in the front area in the chassis.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3499.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3501.jpg

Installation test of steering wheel, seat console and headrest after installing all parts.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3503.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3500.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3502.jpg

Test different halos to find the right shape. With the AMR21 there are a lot of small decals to be applied to the halo. It is therefore very important that the shape fits 100%.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3508.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3504.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3505.jpg

Test the rear wing on the floor plate and attach the very small T-wing.

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3506.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3507.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3509.jpg

Overview of the current status ...

http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3510.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3511.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3512.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3513.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3514.jpg http://steinietrabi-skoda-fabia.de/Modellbau/Aston%20Martin%20AMR21/IMG_3515.jpg

The mirrors were glued on and sanded down.

Oh, and I see it in the last picture I cut the glasses, these will be added back later in transparent. :wink:

That's enough for today... and I made some little decal work, but more next time! :mrgreen:

Thomas, may I suggest to sharpen edges of rear wing´s side plates, front suspensions and even engine cover fin? I think they are done fatter on the original design to make them easier to print, I suppose? :D
The look of the whole car is awesome! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: still green of envy! :lol: :lol:
