Hello M

ates a small Update on the SSKL. First i added a bit Plasticcard over the nice Detail on the Gastank, Matchbox made this good, but on the Originalcar there was a Sheetmetal installed. Recreate with Plasticcard the Sheetmetal under the 3 Exhaustpipes in the Bonnet. They must me flush with the Bonnet. The Exhaust was made out of a bit brasstube, slightly bend and on the End pressed Flat.Also added the body piping with thin Aluminiumwire. I rebuild the Mudguardmountings with Brassrod and T Profile. not 100% but way better than Matchbox. Also with Brasstube , 0.9 mm and 1.4 mm created the Headlight Mounting. The lights self are from ELF, not entirly correct but i want to install lights, you know....

This was a Pain in the Axx....fiddling Work, last thing Today was the Registrationlighting also Brasstube.
The Lights are once again SMD LED , around 0.5 mm "big".......

Next is the Licebseplate and hopefully all Parts stood where they are, the Airbrush come out ;-)

Just another fiddling Pimp Up...the Softtop and Linkage are only rudimentary plasticblobs. So i cut it down, add on each Side 3 small Brasstubes, 0.7 mm flat pressed on one end, and a Small Part U-Profile, with a Pinhead i simulate the Hinge. The remind of the Softtop covered with some Fabrictape to add a bit of Surfacedetai. And then i added 2 Strips of crap Etchframe and etched Buckles.

a bit of refinement and then i hope to get paint on this little Monster....

Hello one more Time :-D

First testing the Lights.....Then i added the last Details. The Quickrelease Gascap, pimped the Kitpart with small Copper and Brass Wire/Tube,scratched the Licenseplate and Nationalityplate, Mudguard "Extensions" and the Stoneguard before the Radiator. Not entirly 100% correct, but i think it looks not bad.

Regards from Vienna :wave:

You make a great build. You work out the details beautifully. In this way she develops a realistic composition of Dios.
Just fantastic. I admire your eagerness to work. the amount of time you put into this dio is enormous. I wish you a lot of fun building. :yeah:

The last Details done, new Toolbox, a "Jerry"can from Miniart, both with Tamiyatape "Belt" and etched Buckles. New Quickreleases for the Fuelfiller and the Sparetires with Copper, Brass and the cutdown Kitparts, and of Course the Figures. These are a Mix of immense Miniatures Feets & Heads, Bodies from Penelope & MRRC,and Arms from the Crapbox. To blend the Codriver in, i use putty from Greenstuff. The belt, Buckle and small handles on the Enginecover i will mounted after Painting.

Funny Fact, not a Single Manafacturer , no Matter if its a Diecast or a Kit, got this well documented Car right. Even the 19.000 € Amalgammodel is Wrong and incomplete, all made too much holes in the frame, wrong or simply not there Details. So i try my best to get as close i can. Some Parts are a Compromise, such as the Tires, with a §D Printer this would be simple, but i don't have one :shock:
