Slowly but surely the parts I have had made are arriving!
The turned aluminium rims are the first to do so.
This morning the postman brought two jerrycans with resin, and production of the kits is picking up.
Todays work on the pictures below
I expect to release the kit in May this year :) |

What agreat model and what an interesting read. For your resin casting do you use some kind af vaccum machine or something or do you just pour it into the molds ?

Precision work. Looks like you have great drawing skills as well.
Can't wait to see the final product! Cheers Rene |

@ Daniel: I don't use any vacuum, I just pour the resin in the molds. Using vacuum would make better quality resin parts (less air bubbles), but I doing all this on my kitchen table(!), not in a fancy laboratory.
The resin parts will need some extra attention before painting; nothing an experienced modeller can't handle.
@ferrariscale: Some 2D computer drawing skills are needed, for the design of the photo-etched parts and decals. |

The last parts (bumpers) arrived this week! :):):)
Boy, are they pretty!! I have to express huge thanks to Marshall who had them made for me. The bumpers are cast in bronze and rhodium plated, and the final result is astonishing (wow!!)
So the model and the kits I made are now complete and on the pictures below, you can see the final result.

Wow - that really turned out well!
I am extremely impressed (and more than a little jealous of your skills...).

Thank you Gege an X-man. I am very happy in the way the model turned out.
Allthough I've show pictures of the completed model, I've never posted a picture of the complete kit.
I still have a few kits left, so if you would like one, feel free to contact me.
You can find more info on the model at the Facebook page of Maqatt Modèles |

Finally the last chapter. This week I completed the second model. It is a much better model as I avoided some mistakes I made in the first built.
The panellines are much deeper (very deep)and I made sure the photo-etched parts would fit before painting.
The model is a bit different in some details as this model depics the presentation version of S/N 9439
I am having trouble to upload pictures, but I have posted those om facebook too
