So that is how it is done.
Am in awe of your skills and picked up a few tips that I may be able to use myself.
Great post, thank you for sharing.

Cheers and Happy Collecting,

Well, after less then one year Alexander "Alexgol" introduced his new masterpiece. Instead of earlier promised Mercedes SS Armbruster - this model was resently made by another well-known modelbuilder - new creation represents Mercedes SSK with one-off Papler body of 1931. This cabriolet was built for order of Prinz Karl Hohenlohe-Bartenstein.
Model produced in 50 numbered examples - 25 in open and 25 in closed versions. Photos of Alex himself.
So, let's see.
This is original car

... and model building process
