These are good looking car models.

I fell in love with them when I first saw them!

I'm home now.... the surgery took longer then he said it would, and he decided to leave some of it in because it was more entangled
with the nerves then he thought. He kept me in the hospital an 2 extra days. I am still very week and dizzy. But I want to get back to
"working" on this model, and having fun building it. below is a photo taken just after i came out of recovery.

Hey there! I'm glad you made it through your surgery and made it home! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

 

[zathros]

Very glad you came through. Still dropping prayers for you. That scar is in the right spot and should heal up fine. Take the healing time, it's so important right after surgery!

I am glad to hear that you made it through well and that you are home resting. I hope that you make a strong and speedy recovery!!!
Both you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Glad to see you made it through. Sometimes it's better to leave a little in than risk damaging other tissues.
That's gonna be a "Killer" scar

The scar is a story to share with your grandkids!

 

[zathros]

Actually, the scar is along a fold. once it's good and healed, hit it with Eucerin Cream, or Vaseline Intensive care, and the Keloid scar will eventually disappear, and you will end up with something barely visible. They did a great stitch job.

Hi ennder,

glad that you made it through that surgery. Take your time to recover, that has priority right now.

Update: feeling much better today. Been iced in for the past 3 days so was able to get a little more done.

Exhaust done, hubs made, and control pedals installed along with the gear shifter.

Having seen this model, flat, unprinted or cut out, really gives one an appreciation for what you have done here. Super clean, tight fitting model!!

 

[ennder]

Thank you everyone for the kind encouragement, and comments.
I discovered a texture problem last night. Both the inside and outside of the passenger cabin have been textured with a leather like "grain".


Inside panels for the cabin

 

[ennder]

I'm pretty sure the outside should have a high gloss smooth finish. like the part below

 

[ennder]

To address this problem I printed the part out again and a full sheet of the green then glued the green to the outside.
Also separated the door from the side to give added depth. "Leather texture" green on the inside and high gloss green on the outside
