Moving on the the main body of the sled. In this installment post, I am working on greebling out the front end of it. Granted, once everything ins together and the hood/shroud is in place, you will not see most of the greebles, however, I still want to show you what all can be done.
I decided to recess the centerpiece and the inner components and the boarder around it. The strip that is below the main body will be used
I cut out the wedge for recessing the center piece.
The center piece is cut open.
The wedge for the center piece is in place.
The center piece is now fully recessed.
This is the black piece that goes in the recessed area.
I filed the top edges of the black piece to a slight angle and put it in place.
Here is the white piece that goes in front of the black one.
I filed the top edges of the white piece to a slight angle and put it in place.
I raised the orange tubing that are coming out from the front of the white piece.
I raised the two long white strips. However, I cut them short and filed the back end to an angle so that the hood/shroud will fit right.
I raised the boarder around the center recessed area.
I raised the orange tubing that came out from the front the the white strips, and raised the light gray components that are on the outer sides of the white strips.
I raised the (figure 8) circles and the orange tubing that connect them to the gray components.
I added the louvres on top.
I added the panel around the louvres and raised the details.
The front is now finished.
Time to move on to the rest body.
