The F1M Forums

P.S. Today I spoke to Jo Vonlanthen briefly on the phone, a nice conversation.
I was looking for more detailed pictures and I am now thinking a step further or closer to them !!

Today it was time for the dashboard!
Even if it's not finished yet - I'm still waiting for a few decals from Wim - I'm actually satisfied with the result...

Received mail from Wim today... It can go on!!!

Hi Steinietrabi,

The latest updates are looking good.
Whats the connection with Jo Vonlanthen and that FW09? (Owner?)
Which museum is that?

Thank you

So Jo (sitting in the car) has his own exhibition in Switzerland.
Unfortunately I have not been able to visit them yet, but I am cordially invited - let's see what the next time will bring and how the general situation will continue.

I came to Jo and the exhibition because he has an FW09 in this exhibition and while I am researching some detailed pictures.
So I got in touch with him to see if there were any more pictures of the less photographed areas.
I spoke to him on the phone and he made contact with a well-known photographer who has also photographed the vehicle several times. Maybe I can get more photos through him or I can have different things photographed.
But because of the work I haven't gotten to speak to the photographer yet.

Decals

nice job!

I just did my seat belts this week on 3D printer too.

It has been a nightmare, I have tried to make the tamiya helmets with no success.... I see yours are really awesome. Did you do by yourself or get the file somewhere?

Yes, 3D printing is a great thing.
What didn't work?

I got the data for the helmets in the picture above from someone, but he also designed them himself.
I just did a quick test print to test the data. But I've also made helmets myself after having had problems with the Senna's Kart helmet in the past...

I didn't do a lot yesterday, the little things make the difference...

Dashboard (Fire lettering was also attached):



Sterring wheel:



Tires:

The wheels and tyres looks so amazing, I can't wait a final pictures..
