Notes On Constructing The Body
Resin Casting The Fenders
Model and Prototype
Although the model is finished, it took much longer than I initially estimated.
The challenge was scratch building the body, fenders, bonnet (hood) and complete interior. The bonnet is based on the Pocher parts, but highly modified and elongated. The fenders and front apron were resin cast with masters made from balsa wood and the body shell is a fiberglass layup. Both techniques were a new adventure for me.
