joe1600 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Just some pics of a model i am working on. Enjoy
joe1600 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Posted January 1, 2009 It’s easy! You just heat the metal up beat it into some sort of shape and then file it to the desired shape.
DAZZA Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 I take it the 'tina in the background gave up its steels?
joe1600 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Posted January 1, 2009 It’s just the spare from the tina, but the tina could give its wheels up when I have finished the escort.
mk1super Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Ah you heat the original arches? And what with?
joe1600 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah you heat it up with a blow torch. If you get it too hot though the car will just fall in bits This is the third attempt
mk1super Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 See i'd thought about using body filler to do this but figured it maybe a real pain to do
joe1600 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 This was one of the things I tried as well. The only problem with it was it was too fragile; as a result the filler would break or crack when been shaped. I am working on an alternative thou. I have started to make arch extensions that could be glued onto any car. Would this sort of thing be of interest to anyone if I were to make some?

Well you know me always intrested in models, im grafting a bib spoiler onto a mk2 escort at the moment
over_head_cam Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I was going to try chemical metal and see how it holds up. If not it will be plastc card and filler

over_head_cam Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 No clips from me m8 most of the stuff I did years ago has been binned, smashed up and generally destroyed. I think I've still got a 3 door taxi somewhere though
