CHASSIS DEPT

Yesterday i worked on the Chassis and wheels. Spent the whole afternoon and night doing it. Managed to finish it! What's left now is the body/frame...


Set up the parts to spray. Brake disc backing, suspension coils, disc brakes...


The chassis with painted silver nuts at the bottom. Tamiya also provided a transparent piece below the engine for display viewing.


Attached the Ferrari Decals on the wheels. Super small, i had to use tweezers.


Disc calipers sprayed red.


Painted the middle part gold and inserted decals for the calipers. Also super minute job..


Some parts ready to be installed - radiators, backarms, disc brakes, axles


Fixed the front wheel arm


It joins with the interior compartment piece


Installed the exhaust manifold and torque axles on the engine.


Radiators - i fixed a black wire to both the radiators to increase realism a little.


Masked the glass and ready for paint


Done Chassis


Chassis with wheels..

next, the body/frame

need lotsa spraying and polishing!

INTERIOR COMPLETED!

After 3 days and about 16 man-hours, ive finally completed the interior! It doesnt exactly replicate the real 360's interior, in terms of colour. But why make another 360modena when you can actually 'zhng' your car according to your preferences?


Added on the floormats and E-brake.


Took some mesh and sticked it to the mat, as the driver's racing pad.


Used some black ribbon and tweezed a couple of staples to make the seatbelts. I really makes the interior more realistic.


One of the great details by Tamiya is the Horse emblem on the head rest. Can't really see it here, but it is clearer in the previous picture.


Then i fixed the dash, and im done!


Placed the body over the interior to see how visible the interior is. (After all that hard work)


Sadly, you cant see the pedals and racings pads anymore. A small glimpse of the floormat can still be seen tho, but maybe not the texture detail.


Still can see the seats, middle panel, seatbelts, seatbelt insert, side panels


E-brake too... phew


Placed the engine behind just for fun. This is so far what i've done.

Frankly, im pretty slow already. Gotta speed up a lil on the work.
