Inspired by Bengalensis build I've decided to try and do this version

Can find no detail of the chassis so will have to make that up, will have to learn resin casting as I will have 3 pairs of suspension to make and 6 wheels.

A couple different variations on the theme to inspire you, there. I really like that grey one, it looks rather more polished than the other one.

Hi all well I've started, going to build the Meilen version.

The eagle eyed among you may notice I've had a weird reaction to the paint on one of the doors (all the rest of the paint work seems to be ok)

Started adding the shackles plates to the bed

Must say I'm quite pleased so far.

Beautifully done details there, all the way through.

Hi all here's the next update put the suspension together temporarily to see what size wheels I will need for the flatbed.

(http://i65.tinypic.com/2w4enpy.jpg)
1/24 scale with tyre at 28 mm so unless some kind person has 8 wheels with tyres that size I will have to have a go at resin moulding.
Did some more to the engines and done the leather seats as well.

Wow! That's impressive :smiley:

I've noticed that as they've used common parts in both kits the chrome strips on the cabriolet version have not been continued on the front wings so I've added them.

Hi all here is the next update (those opening doors were a nightmare) there are 2 tiny pins with corresponding holes in the inner door skins which have the hooks for the hinges in the door posts thing is if you put the doorskin in those pins the chrome trim won't align and the door droops so what I ended up doing was using liquid cement on the joins hanging the inner door then putting the outer skin up to it and using clamps to hold them in place till the glue sets.

Great "tour the force" with this project!
The DS is one of those mythical cars that left an hard to forget mark on car history.
In Portuguese it was popularly known by "Frog Mouth", for obvious reasons :)
Following the evolution with interest!
-
I didn't know that, green was a good choice then.
-
I missed this, well both the model and the real vehicle are really interesting, looking forward to next update!
