Yes there was more work on plastic models yesterday and it will remain that way until next month when this model needs to be done along with one another that’s not started yet.
I had to pack in 4 LED’s, three resistors and a bunch of other stuff into this tiny nacelle and it took 4 days to do it. Not to mention the single LED attached to fiber optics that acts as the strobe lights that blink very brightly. I managed to capture it on a blink in one photo.
The second nacelle will be done in one day and hopefully the engineering section done as well. It will be easier to work on as it’s a bit more roomy.
I had a mail call yesterday and a very special package arrived from New Zealand from my friend John Warren of MVD resins. He makes fine resin bodies for vintage racing cars from the gold era of racing no one else has.
This is the 1/32 scale Maserati 250 F I spoke of before and this will make a delicious project to work on at home in my slot car cave.
In addition to that my 1/24 scale 917k Porsche will be my next build for the hard body races in Buena park. Like the Mclaren I recently built this will have a scratch built chassis in brass. This will all keep me busy for a while.
I have been asked by many, “When will you make some new masks sculptures?”. My answer to that is be patient, I have to finish these modeling projects for a friend first and my racing season. Then I’ll get back to it.
