Successfully delivered the body to THEMAN's workshop. We spent a couple of nice days working on the car together. Well, mostly HE worked on the car and I watched and learned. But we got a lot done. Positioning the body and tires, trimming the front pillar to size, removing the rear pillar so the roll bar can be installed, and lots of planning.

Notice the Hot Wheels batmobile on the rear tire in this first pic.

These pictures were taken before we trimmed off the pillars. There's more on THEMAN's Resource thread as well.

Progress update:

Front side boxes are milled and being prepped for molds. White one has had first prep work done and is ready for final prep and a layer of epoxy resin to be applied. Waiting for more epoxy resin to be delivered. Blue one has had initial surface prep and covered with a layer of epoxy resin to protect the foam from melting. Needs final prep now and dividing flanges installed.

First rear box has been milled and assembled but no finish work has been done yet. Second rear box is being milled. These pictures show how the unit is milled in layers and then assembled like a jigsaw puzzle.

BTW
Now that you have had time enough to evaluate you 1/6th DOJ model what do you think about it.

How is the detail and quality?

Anything you see after studying the model that the makers could have improved on or added to the model?

What materials are the model made from?

Would you recommend it to someone thinking about buying one?

How about taking a few photo images if you find the time with a Coke can or something of known scale so we can get a good look at the beast?

Received an email asking about posting photo-images but forgot where your last post was made on the subject of posting your photo-images.

What is the photo-images posting method and service that you use to post your images.

Hey Vert, my friend. Always glad to hear from you. At this time I'm using the free picture hosting site postimage.org.

I still haven't even taken it out of the box!!!! I've been so busy with the fiberglass work that I have had little time to think about that.

Working on making molds right now. Had to order more supplies from my vendor. Dividing and glassing both front boxes now and prepping the rear boxes at the same time. I'll put up some pics when I get some more progress.

Progress report:

My time has been limited by family obligations lately so this is taking longer than I had anticipated. I have been working on placing flanges and fiber glassing the front two side boxes. Although the length is smaller, the number of flanges is not far off from what was needed for the full body. Passenger side box has top and front glassed, Driver side has top done.

Here's a couple of pix of where it's at right now.

Hope to glass middle section of passenger side and front section of driver side yet today.

hey sly,
Excellent planning, design, and execution.
How are your controlling the effects of the high temperatures of summer on your fiber glassing? vertigo
