Interesting! thumbsupI see. I don't know why, i assumed that you were from America. Here in my country the schools only teach english and french in primary, and some schools (very few) in secondary teach german. Everything else has to be learned from institutes.

Hello all.
Continue with the wheels. Oh, boy... That took me a lot of time.
Each wheel is made from:
2 Tire side bases from cereals box
2 tire sides
1 tire thread ( the part that actually touches the ground)
1 tire bottom
1 rim (a parer ring 2 mm wide )
1 rim cone
2 rim center pieces for front wheel
1 rim center for internal rear wheel
1 rim center and 2 piece hub on the outer rear wheel.
Many edge-gluing. The threads are glued to side bases' edges. The whole rim is edge glued. A lot of small connections, hoping it will eventually becomes strong enough wheel to hold the model's weight.

The tire sides are made round to simulate the real wheel tire roundness.
There's a need to strike a circular line on the middle of the tire side. Tried to do this by my cutting compass - the result looked awful. So I made a template from cerial box cardboard to stroke a line around it with my awl. I liked this idea, maybe someone will use it. View attachment 183021View attachment 183022View attachment 183023
Those Fenders, the whole front end, came out excellent!!
I know many people who speak many different languages, and many who speak many languages themselves. I know more people that only speak American English and are oblivious to any other language reference. They miss out on jokes, the origin or words. It's a product of our educational system, and the fact that many people spend their lives never going more than a couple of hundred miles from home, and in the U.S., that may mean never leaving your own state. Kind of sad. They lose much.
Hello all.
Slowly, this build continues.
I decided that I need to make the external body shiney and covered the printed pages with Americana Glossy finisher. Had to make 4-5 layers. This stiffened the paper a lot, making it quite hard to fold and build. Nothing I can't deal with, but still, I will have to fight the parts. I hope the looks will be worth the trouble.
Finished with the rear bench. Then I switched to the engine compartment. The "nose" of this car is very distinct. The smiling grill becoming wheel cowlings (are these called wings??) and the round hood are very special and quite hard to implement in paper. I have to admit I didn't understand how the engine compartment sides connect to the cowlings, to the front grill and to the windshield base and where does the firewall go. So I emailed Nova, the designer. The guy sent 100+ build pictures and some diagrams. This made the construction a bit easier.
The idea is that first the firewall (which is a laminated double sided piece) should be mounted but only the side that faces the crew compartment. Then the wheels wells should be installed. Then the windshield base is mounted. Afterwards the engine compartment sides are mounted formed to right shape with round nose and straight sides. Then laminate the insides of engine compartment so that engine bay internal walls are not white.
Then the hood (bonnet?) should come along forming the engine compartment. All this without formers of any kind. That was a challenging job.
This is the point I stopped...
Next, the wheel cowlings and the grill. Maybe next week...

Hello all.
Unfortunately I am putting this model on hold until at least end of August. Got some unexpected things to take care of...
Sorry everybody..
