The Dukes of HillValley

[Dark Kyp]

Here is a model I started some months ago. The idea comes from this nice T-shirt:

So I found back this kit who was sleeping in the underground:

First: the sprues:
Medium quality, lot of places to sand!




















I'll post the next steps later in this week.

Here is the first pre-assembly after sanding the body of the car:

Going to be interesting to see how you rig the wheels

 

[ModelMakerMike]

Yeah, this'll be a kewl one to watch come together.
I am interested in how you will build up the time machine hardware in the back....

 

[Grendels]

Nice idea!

 

[Igard]

Awesome concept Kyp! Look forward to this one!

 

[Dark Kyp]

Thanks guys Here are the next steps:


Finded the good position for the wheels:

Sanded the wheels. It was necessary because they were coming out from the rubbers. I also drilled holes to let light shine:

Electrical part:

With a wheel in front of the LED:

Then after some days of work:

Inside nearly ready, I need now to end the cage. Painted those parts with brush, with Enamel and Acrylics.
Enamel used for the base, gry and colors, acrylic for the different blacks drybrushes.

Here is were I am:

Parts:

Main assembly:

Dashboard:

And a part coming from a 1:48e F-14 to add a futuristic look!
