That first picture looks like totally real 1:1 car parts! I had an ultrasonic cleaner....I wonder where that sucker went?....

This is just fantastic. Man, what a tribute. A story in miniature, that needs no explaining.

Ok, better photos here showing more detail.

Ok, I beams and Channels as thin as I dared. Tie down hooks in place all around. The end blocks for the springs are modified some but still a little unrealistic for strength.

D ring from scratch. I cheated though and used the spring U bolt and indivudual bolt heads I had already created for the Scout. I just had to make a plate and add the bolt eyes then resize pieces and join it all together.

The square design is for printing strength as channel or I beam would be mighty thin but I can look at it again. The spring blocks instead of two supports are for printing strength as well. I thought about the wiring holes for a while befire putting them in. I know they wouldn't be on the real...

Are the tirme downs OK before I add them down the sides. And I think what is confusing is being able to see the lines. They don't print but are part of the geometry.

Yes. Would it be on top of the V rails or inside like I have it?

I took the reflector spaces out so the cross bar is just on the inside of the rails. Would it be on top of the outer rails instead of inside?

I think the reflector spots on the outside of the outer beam make the crossmember look cut in. I can get rid of those. Would it be welded on top and not on the inside? Also, where to the D rings go? I am thinking they would go in recessed openings in the deck?

Dude overlooking his handiwork....yes...he smiles with satisfaction beneath his mask, his grin a little crooked..."Who's next?"

I was asked to make a car hauler. Does anything look completely wrong?

I like the Soviet scrap iron idea even better.

Do you want a full diorama type base, a small square base with a few bits of grass, or a simple, clean, round wooden stand just to display the art? Any would work.

I am closing in on closing in the door jamb! Little by little. I am thinking epoxy putty and shaping for the final steps.

Man that is clean and beautiful! What a motor 🤩

Meng makes great kits. That a beauty!

You guys are great! Paddy, yeah, even though the door is a little wonky it DOES work. The next one will be better, but I feel good for pulling it off. Today's build time has been all over the map. I worked on the dash a bit. Foolish or not, I cut out the gauges because I wanted to encase them...

I wish I had access to everything! There are some items that the A4 guy uses that I would love to get but I can't even find online, much less stock. I DO have a lot of random stuff stocked that probably will never sell but I use a lot LOL.
