Nice work! I really like that car!

It was partially your M1 that inspired me to build my own BMW model. I was also
inspired by some of you hinge techniques for the opening trunk. The curvature
on the side of your model also prompted me not to leave the sides of mine
completely flat at the bottom.

It’s amazing how you managed to build quite a lot of little details
at such a small scale (fuel cap!, dashboard, etc.).
|
Thanks!
| |
I especially like the lower fenders at the side of your model (where you used
those wedge plates). The look just like the real thing.
|
This model was pretty much built in two sessions a few days apart. The section
you mention is one of the things I reworked a bit the second time around. Using
the wedge plates upside down makes a much clearer line than when they are
rightside up. The cutouts for studs tend to interupt the edge when the parts
are used rightside up.
| |
The wheels are also a cool idea.
|
I used them on the ZNAP wheeled DYAD too, but
this was my first chance to use them for the low profile tire look.
| |
I’ve never seen one of those headlight parts.
|
I’ve always wanted a disc between 1 and 2 studs wide for building cars, and I
finally got one!
| |
(Maybe that’s because I don’t own one of those pens???)
Would be cool if those parts were available in clear white, though ...
(same goes for the front indicator lights)
|
I agree. The double ring of the bottom of the part does give a nice “Angel
Eyes” look, though.
| |
Anyway ... great work (as usual).
|
Thanks!

One of the first “highlights” this year (for me as a Model Team fan)
But 2004 is still young, right? :-)
|
Maybe one of yours will be next?
