Mate I think ur inspiring me! Not me inspiring you! Great job!

Thanks a lot,you are one of my greater supporters!

 

P.S. What's the color code of a blue mini with sportspack arches shown in your thread laying on a pallet?

[olds_kool_lews]

Just goes to show what you can do with a bit of creativity and some paper, surprised more people haven't commented!

If it's the blue mini I'm thinking of with the white roof, that's MG Trophy blue! Great colour!

Although,nobody commended,the number of views is almost 1500 in about only two weeks.It seems there are many ''secret'' followers of my thread.However I would like to hear your opinion about my build.I'll keep updating.I've made small changes to the bonnet and the rear diffuser (self designed,notice also the rear brake likes),in order to make them a bit more (if possible) realistic.Photos of the radiator (I took the decision to install it the opposite direction,compared to the real) brake servo and the air filter are also posted.As stated in my previous post,yoko an superlites are also prepared (wood is used,so as to design the templates).The last photos show the progress so far.These are not the final results-products.

GREAT IDEA,BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE NO TEMPLATES AVAILABLE ANYMORE.I SHOULD HAVE PHOTOCOPIED THE TEMPLATES I MADE.BUT FOR EVERYONE INTERESTED ,I CAN HELP HIM AT ANY STAGE OF THE BUILD.

looking great you could have made a clubbie front and would look spot proportion wise but roundnose is still epic

I LOVE ROUNDNOSE MINIS!HOWEVER A CLUBBIE FRONT END WOULD BE MUCH EASIER.

hahahaha that is properly cool!   hats off to you mate you have done a proper job

 

love the detail with seperate subframes and doors:D

MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO BUILT ONLY THE FLOOR WITH THE SUBFRAMES AS A STATIC MODEL,BUT THEN...

Time to update!As I stated in a previous post,I took the decision to turn it into a restoration diorama.Using wood and plastic curved pieces,I give the paper the desired shape.You can see a total photo of the whole project.Notice the front sportspack arches that have been added.

Great job mate! What did you use for the arches? They look great!

I used an empty T-disc from a coffee machine so as to curve the paper.It worked as a mould.
