Question about the tires- from the picture I see you have no wheel yet, i mean, it's just the tire. How are you planning to add it, will you cut out each rim arm?
And some random stuff:
1) what's the length of the car? never thought about that actually
2) you may consider adding the small infor, brembo, magnetti marelli and skp logos on the connection between the floor and the sidepods.
3) are there any front brake ducts? i don't see them at least.
small tip: when printing out logos- on a A4 sheet, there is enough space for two sets of logos. What i did was that i printed each logo twice, with a slight difference in the dimensions and picked the better one right before glueing.
cheers
first of all, thanks for the comment, and naming it a great car
you are correct in the fact that, yes, i have no wheels yet, just the tyres, and I'm afraid it will be staying that way, because the car is way too small to make that level of detail and make it fit properly. I am going to make it look like there is a wheel, similar to my previous car (the Ferrari f10, which was an absolute failure)
another thing other than detail and size is the time. I have very little of it nowadays, and my main objective is to get it finished as soon as possible because i have exams coming up... Again
1) the length of the car is about 31 cm and the width is about 11 cm
2) i did consider adding those logos, but again the size of the car is really tiny, and those logos would be impossible to cut and stick by using my hands (and i have no other method or equipment to do it any other way) and i have quite large hands so that doesn't help
3) yes, there are small front break ducts. They turned out shorter than i expected, and aren't that detailed, but if you look at the last picture i posted, they are in between the front wheel hub and suspension, the bit that sticks out.
thanks for the tip, i will do that on my next car
I'm not sure when I'm going to start it, but my next car should be bigger, longer and wider, and should therefore have much more detail, like proper wheels, more intricate winglets and wheelhubs, more intricate suspension and removable engine cover, front wing, headrest, steering wheel and seat, as well as all the internals, but this one only has removable wheels and steering wheel.
i am currently working on the stickers for the tyres, and the steering wheel.
be ready for the launch in the next couple of days...
take care
