| Here's the Latest:
Started on constuction of the Headlamp clusters/housings as can be seen in the pic, made from plastic card approx 3/32" thick. Initial shapes were cut from balsa before transferring outlines to the Plastic card.
Took some time to get the parts to fit perfectly bearing in mind they fit inside the bodyshell and there are plenty of curves to follow there too.
This is the start of the right hand housing, the left one is simply a reverse of this and I have the parts already marked out ready to cut.
Notice one of the reflectors next to it...there are 3 of these in each cluster (2 headlamps and one blue xenon type fog) these were cannabalised from a cheapy plastic torch, as seen in the pic....(I am using 8 of these altogether, 6 for front lights and 2 for smaller rear lights, I have 2 larger ones for the larger rear lights)
Once the housings are done the tubes will be fitted to house the reflectors and then the whole lot primed and then chromed using the chrome spray shown.
The Neon led's are already wired up and working and will be fitted into these last.
Will keep you posted.
