The Road to Le Mans 1/32: 7 weeks and counting
Hello guys, just seven weeks till the start fo free practice, time for a quick update, as mentioned in my last post this week's work focussed on getting the masters for the vacformed parts ready for silicone casting.
No completely finished yet, still have more work on the cockpit and driver seat, but the motor compartment is finished

Stock Scalex interior tray, already with serious chunks dremmeled away, Scalex Motor detail and half of driver seriously lacking.

On the left Stock Scalex driver now with legs and new tray for motor compartment, on the right with new seat and all Motor detail added.

On the left , right side view of interior , on the right interior split up in parts to be vacformed separately. First and probably last time anyone will see the scratch build intake manifold, but at least I'll know its there.

Motor compartment with a coat of Vallejo plastic primer added, this to seal and close any gaps between the glued parts on the master (and looks much better too)
More words to follow, gotta work
with kind regards
