Hello everyone!

I have started a new project (a bit unusual to me both scale-wise and topic-wise... )

This set was waiting a loooong time...

So, without further ado, let's begin

Hello everyone!

And some update on the frame...

Wheels in progress...

Want to try to add nuts for the wheels, though...

Hello!

Nice progress here. I don't know if you accept multimedia in this project, but the easiest way to add nuts and bltheads would be to get some plastic hex rod and cut some slices off of it - that gives you nice looking hardware.

 

For your next automotive project try something different for the tire walls. Instead of bending the "ridge" in them try laying them on some fabric and embossing them with a steel ball or something similar. This way you can get nice bulging and smooth tire walls.

 

Good luck with your build and have a nice day!
