Damned, how far will I go? Found a quite interessting wip on modelcarsmag (modelcarsmag.com/for..-mpc-72-pontiac-gto/) with a lot of work on the fitting ...

István Szücs
Christian, that's an incredible build!

Martin Oostrom
I'm not sure I like the front end of that car.
Let's see what you'll make of it

Christian W
The front end was an issue ever. Im not the biggest fan too. I was buying this because I thought it was built in 1973 too. But the 1973 GTO is a totally other car and this kit doesn't fullfill the requirements of our annual group build of our "club".
After looking through that wip, ... I think I will not go that far. But one I will do: reduce the gaps at the front. They are really present.

Christian W
I started this GTO in between because the Charger sucks a little or my mind gives me the order that I have to work on several kits at the same time.
I was in the mood, to get this car painted. So I get some spots sanden on the body, fillered it and gave it a kind of green-turquis-blueish. This rattle can is on of the leftover of the 1977 Firebird (1977 Pontiac Firebird Coupe | Project by christian-w (1:25)) color I bought, when I was looking for the right color. I think it works on this car good.

Christian W
By the way: I'm not going for a vinyl roof on that.

Christian W
Next steps are done. The body got it's clear cote, undercarriage and interior is painted too. It's good. Now I'm thinking about how to get a little more shade into the interior color. It's to close to the body color.

Martin Oostrom
Spray some Tamiya smoke over it?

@Cuajete: The 148 was the only Mig29 UB which was delivered in 4 tone camo in service of LSK. The other 3 was delivered in 3 tone grey scheme

Thanks for following

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job so far, Oliver! Keep it up!

Oliver
Robert, thanks so much! Hope to go on on weekend. The Canopy is installed already.

Łukasz Gliński
Very nice DDR Fulcrum 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
That is art! I have to take a first row seat here and see the progress. Very impressive 👍

Spanjaard
certainly not going to miss thus master class

Dave Flitton
Wow, watching!!

Skyhiker
Right on!

Greg Baker
Oh, sign me up. I'd watch F_IV do the laundry.

Robert Podkoński
I will follow this talent show with pleasure.

gorby
Lovely work.

Michael Kohl
Surely another build that will leave me speechless and striving to come closer to this level.

William Adair
Omg thanks everyone. You guys are the best! I'm interested to see how this one comes out. I'll add more progress soon. 🤞

Ludvík Kružík
I like old planes from the early days of aviation. Your scrathbuild is fantastic. I admire how you can render all the little details in this scale. I wish you continued success in building this model and look forward to the sequel.

Bruce Huxtable
Your talents are beyond my comprehension.... Totally amazing scratch building 🙂 This little gem is already gorgeous🙂

Shar Dipree
Great work so far! 👍👍👍👍

bughunter
Another great little bird in that microscopic scale 👍

William Adair
Added a new pic. Starting on the cockpit details 👌

Bruce Huxtable
More micro-perfection. Astonishing 🙂

Michael Kohl
By the way: will your book be available in Telford in November?

William Adair
Hi Michael, I'm not sure. It should be out by then but I don't know if any sellers will be stocking it. I live in Australia unfortunately, so Telford is well outside my maximum range 😢

William Adair
Added the large control wheel to the pilot's cockpit from soldered wire and heat curved sprue. I like the little brass hub in the middle 🙂

Skyhiker
You seem to have really good control over your soldering. What tools do you have? That control wheel is impressive.

gorby
The many years training to be a jeweler probably helps. 😄

William Adair
@Skyhiker I have an inexpensive soldering iron from an electronics store. It is nothing special, but the best thing I have is liquid soldering flux. Using that allows the solder to grab the surface and stick without requiring too much heat or flooding the area with solder.

@gorby Being a jeweller helped at first. But now I am finding that the modelmaking is helping me be a better jeweller! 👍

Alec K
Outstanding work! The book is on order 👍

William Adair
Wow, thank you Alec! Hopefully it will be in your mailbox soon 🙏
I added a few more pics. Test fitting the undercarriage and one of the prototype wheels.

Christian Bruer
Outstanding craftsmanship. I really like your tiny scratch built projects 👍

Michael Kohl
Me too.
But obviously he doesn't show how he did the wheels to prevent us from fainting. 😉

Skyhiker
I just don't get how its possible. Really man, you need to get a life or something. This shit is just way too good!

Mr D
Wow, what scale👌, l struggle to build a 1:72 without breaking of a tail wheel or antenna 🤣.
Really nice n interesting subject 👍👍

Skyhiker
Where do you get your blueprints?

William Adair
@Michael Kohl, I made an album about the wheel back in January, showing the stages of construction. Spoked wheel test, 1/144 | Album by F_IV
@Skyhiker, Windsock Datafiles provide the best drawings. I also use the 3-view drawings from the Wingnut Wings kit for some areas.

Zbynek Honzik
A masterpiece is being created here!!! Scratchbuild at this scale and this quality! Unbelievable! Bravo! 👏👏👏

bughunter
Great progress 👍
I have a kit in 1:48, but your build looks much better and has more details!

William Adair
Thank you, it's slowly coming along. Adding more details now that the main components are painted. It's always my favourite part of a build. 🙂

Mr D
Great " Little" project this one, brilliant work 👍👍

Ludvík Kružík
That's beyond me. How can you make such perfect little things in this mini scale? You have my great admiration. 👍

Alec K
Same here! Paint looks superb 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Can't agree more w/Ludvik, my Eyeballs Mk.I woudln't allow that. What Mark are you using? 😉
