Phenomenal work! I love the undertray aluminium and the hose clips

Realized i wrote everytime commend instead of comment! Lol Sorry for bad english!
Some more progress on the Lotus is finished or even prepaired.
First i finished the undertray with CF work and flat clear. Next was putting on bare metal foil and some heat shields which i made from aluminium sheet, detailed everything with some etched nuts.
Next is some scratch build fittings for coolers, intercoolers, airbox and so on. Tiny stuff again, soldered from brass rods and pipes. I reworked the coolers and changed the plumbing with its straps, the fittings for overflow are missing in this picture. Painted the part for the sidepod silver, but still not happy with it, i guess i will do it again. Last i painted some bottom support brackets. Most of this parts will be installed once Tub, engine and undertray is glued together, some engine plumbing has to be done infront of that too. Sorry for crappy pics, the cam is sometimes not working like i want it to.
Finaly i made a dry set up with everything together to see where i can get into trouble with adding more details, Snorkel on gearbox is installed and i scratch build some connectors with wiring for the injection nozzles. Exhaustpipes and Turbos are still in work, needs paint and detailing.
Thanks for watching!
Things are moving on slowly actually cause i`m painting the wheels for my real car, maybe i will do one in the next days, but not for 4 or 5 parts only.Inuyasha wrote:Any news on this amazing build? Can`t wait to see another update!
