The build process
Le Box!
Getting ready.
Sorting out.
...and here we go!
Makeshift workstation.
Quitting for the evening...
Progress thus far: Lower level chassis assembly, rear differential and motor mount. (Tamiya 32T Formula-tuned motor)
Oh yes, have I ever mentioned that I take my fun seriously?
Sitting at one spot for hours at a go can make you hungry...
Hot melted Cheeze whiz and Arnott's Mini Munchies with a dash of fake bacon bits.
Yes, this is my only vice. (Heh)
Chassis mostly assembled.
End of Day 2: Addition of front and rear wings.
Bodyshell, uncut.
Trimmings removed, holes drilled, edges filed down. Took me a good 3-plus hours to get to this stage.
Cut outs were the trickiest.
The resulting chaff.
Day 3 progress: Ghost car! Enough already. Hungry and tired.
Back in action after a day's break. Painting and finishing.
I didn't have any other colour for polycarbonate paint, so I took the lazy way out: Entire cockpit in black. :p
Sprayin'.
Almost done! Just need to remove protective plastic covering and applying decals and screwing on the driver's head.
Damn, this is what happens when thinner meets table lacquer.
Applying the stickers ain't as straighforward as one might think. 3 hours, and I'm still not done yet.
