Report_92 In the engine compartment there was missing a very important detail - the horn.

Hello greycat! For the gearshift cover I don't use any special procedures, it's made just of paper out of the kit. I have only completed the plate rivets/bolts with some punched slices of bristol cardboard. The rubber bellow is made of a long triangle of thin paper, rolled around a pin...

Report_91 The next step was the dashboard. I did some detail works again. The frontrings of the instruments were made of solder again. One of the big advantages of solder is it's softness, it's easy to cut it off even with a sharp knife and easy to shape. The instruments were printed...

Report_90 Pedals and gearshifts were built in. The heads of the gearshift were made of CA glue. The pinhead was dunking into the glue repeatedly to form a big drop. Between every dip, I used activator to set the glue.

Report_89 The battery was to simple in the kit for me, so I had to do some cosmetical operations. Also I spent some time to make cables as a gift. Both cables were made of solder; for the ground strap I used a flat nose pliers with the solder to ... to cruch it flat. The last...

Report_88 Now I only have to color them in olive drab and glue them in to the right place. The corners behind the headlamps were flatten a little bit to become no problems when the 'eyes' were built in.

Report_87 The fenders I have built first after construction manual. There was a sharp corner, which didn't amuse me too much. So I tried to get more smoothness. The outside of the corner was soaked with thin fluid CA glue (Greven). The inner side of the corner was filles with...

@Leif Thank you, I ever try to give my best. @bholderman @Orion Thank you, too. About the coloring action I will give you some hints. First I use Gunze Mr. Hobby Mr. Metal Primer to seal the paper, I use it as a pore filler. After some grinding action I use Tamya Acryl Color (flat)...

Some comments to die cutting of holes: If you look at the radiator grill of the jeep, then you will detect one of the parts, causing some headache to the modelbuilder, if he wants to cut out the part in a clean and solid way. Some tips to the work with such parts, should abrade the...

Dear friends! In the next session I will show the way, how I a made the rounding edges by the upper part of the fenders in paper. Kindly regards Josef

Report_86 After an effective test run there was the finally marriage last weekend. Instead of wedding rings I donate two fenders and a radiator grill. Now it's running into the honeymoon suite for some days and after it I would start to build some furnishing.

Report_85 Before we come to the final honeymoon, I have to make the exhaust pipe. For it I used styrene stripes in round form, make a little bending device with cardboard and used a hotair gun to bend it to the right position. After this I made a little painting and give it a small portion...

Report_84 Certainly I want to test how the upper and lower group work together and mounted them dry, without glue - like a test-wedding.

Report_83 Some detail views to the body. With the knife I have marked the position of the pedals.

Report_80 Some color and make up and ready for 'Saturday night fever'. There is enough place for much 'Sprit' in the tank. Report_81 Also a view bottom-up under the dress looks kind of neatly. Report_82 A closer look to the tank - upper and lower part.

Report_76 After finishing the undercarriage, I start with the auto body. All made of paper and cardboard - a view without any 'make up' out of the working process. Report_77 Auto body view bottom-up. The bulge for the motor was very heavy work for bad fitting accuracy...

Report_74: To complete the undercarriage, there were missing the bumpers. The hook ist made of etching parts and has function to accept a hanger. The bumper itself is made of paper without after treatment (unpainted). Report_75: The front bumper is also made of paper like just...

Hi Orion! Thank you for the nice words and the attention to my report. I wish you much fun and never empty glue bottle for the project with the tank. If the 'cross-beam' is to high for me, I try to go under it or go around it, so I'm quicker. 8) Kindly regards Josef
