amazing styrene work! you must have a stockpile of different shapes and textures? or did you do that all with just regular sheets of styrene with no texture?

Hey, thanks Spiike!

This was my first attempt at some real styrene work. I mostly used the plain sheets (no texture), 3 different thicknesses. I used a few pieces of rod and tube as well.

 

[Mr.Joshua]

So I got the dash all painted up. Just need to add some decals and then glue on the steering column and steering wheel.

The paint on the console is finished up as well, I just need to glue in the parking brake lever

That's some clean painting. "thumbsup"

Thanks man

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Here's a shot of the seats & console attached to the floor board.

This looks great man!

 

[Mr.Joshua]

This looks great man!

Thanks bud!

I finished up the dash last night...hopefully I'll get the interior reassembled tonight.

 

[mitchr97]

Sweet! can't wait to see it!

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Ok...so here's my pile of interior parts. The interior with seats and driver comes in at 15.5oz!:shock::|

I was able to make the whole thing removable. The cage is also removable, so within a few minutes I can have it stripped down to actually work on it.:mrgreen: Took me FOREVER to accomplish but it was worth it in my opinion. It's not like building a ship in a bottle to work on it...but it was like that building it!

On to some pics (more to follow...waiting on the PB upload)

Outstanding work. Looks fantastic, and I can appreciate the difficulty involved with making it functional (removable). Really nice job on this!

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Hopefully this will help someone out. Some of these pieces are "friction fit" but there are screws holding most of it together. I rolled it across the floor very hard several times and nothing even budged...it's good to go"thumbsup"

Here's the before shot

Then the front firewall slides into place (so tight it made me wonder if it would break the first couple times)

Then the two door skins slide in (again, very tight fit)

Next the left and right seat platforms/floor boards. These fit very tight and then a screw through the door skin holds it and the panel in place

Next the rear "firewall" drops in friction fit

Then the seats bolt up through the floor

This assembled piece slides through the window (BARELY!:shock Then it gets screwed down into left and right seat pedstals, also locking the rear firewall into place

Then Mr.Joshua gets screwed to the seat, nut is countersunk and epoxied into the rear of the seat

Then the whole dash slides in through the window, sitting on the half door support (roll cage) and sealing down and around the console to conceal the spur gear. 4 screws secure the dash to the front firewall

I'll post up some finished shots later"thumbsup"
