Go for it!
"Mad" Max Headroom
has cleaned and swept out the garage and started: tools, glue, spareparts, plasticsheets and so on the table and go!
And these are the pics of the first steps:
After opening the baggage compartement/the front hood with the help of my new precision-saw, I cutted some pieces of sheets to up-size it's capacity.
And with the hood (will be made movable):
After, I have extend the shock absorbers for 4 mm:
This is related to the scale (1:25) 10 cm in reality.
But there is more to do!
The combined part "tunnel between the seats/rear-wheels-suspension" I had to make apart to re-fix it later in a wider angle:
My box with old sprues, I used for the extensions:
The rest of the suspension parts:
Right and left parts for the front-suspension (a), middle/above the bar of the rear shockabsorbers (b) and middle/below the rear axles (c).
For "a" I have to made some distance-blocks to place between the suspension and the underbody (4 mm --> 10 cm), the "b" can be right the way it is and to extend "c" is not realistic, so because of the relation of the parts, the geometry of the rear suspension will lead to a shorter distance between the right and the left rear-wheel.
The parts of the engine and the (black) exhaust-pipe:
I have to modify the exhaust-pipe!
This one above didn't have a silencer and this fact causes bad luck for the driver, because zombies becomes curious if they hear some noise!
I have to google for an original Porsche-exhaust-pipe.
Also for a trailer-coupling. I will add this, because it could be useful. Couldn't it?
On the left one of the original seats:
The right one, I have found in my spare-parts box and will use it.
These are some parts of the original kit-wheels:
And this, I also have found:
Four rims (I don't know, if I will use) and 4 tires, not so broad as the Porsche-tires but maybe better, because of the more rugged tread (as you can see).
I will think over.
But what will be, if you see, that the original direction-indicators and the taillights are made by clear seethrough-plastic and you have used simple orange and red color to paint them, and now you want to have orange and red seethrough-plastic?
So simple:
You have to remember two things.
First, to have had such a car in the past:
Second, to remember there must be an old taillight somewhere in a dark corner and to find it and bring it back into daylight.
This one:
Before remembering I had planned to keep my eyes open to find some coloured splinters of taillights laying abandoned in a ditch somewhere (after a car-accident).
This isn't neccessary anymore. Good!
Now I can carve, what I need.
