Fabulous modelling as always from you Malc, love the very neat and tidy appearance of your work which helps to give an ultra real look to the finished build?

Very nice indeed! Keep those updates coming, I will be watching. Drool Cool ThumpUp

Thanks Kev. Always appreciate your kind comments. BigGrin

I'm continuing with the build up of the chassis.

Beautiful work Malc, love that contrast between the black and the brass, very nice! Drool ThumpUp

How are you finding this Pocher kit? I've never built one, though I've heard they are very detailed kits and a bit like a full size engineering project, but not as accurate as they could be in terms of the fit of parts!?

Keep up the good work. ThumpUp

Thanks for the comments guys. This is my first Pocher and certainly there's a good level of detail ( considering it's a 1970's kit ). I suspect that some of their other offerings could be much more detailed. The moulding is quite poor generally and brittle...!! I've had quite a bit of repair and additions to make. The fit of parts is hit and miss. Can be frustrating but adds to the challenge I guess.BigGrin

I've got the suspension on now which pretty much completes the chassis.

Progress on this one is a bit slow .... but managed to get a little more done.
I wasn't happy with the brass fuel lines from the fuel tank along both sides of the chassis. The wire diameter looked too large ( 2mm ) so I made my own with 1.5mm brass rod. The fit is better as well.

Engine compartment more or less complete, got the wiring done. It only needs the Carb' to be added. The "cockpit" also completed. I added clear perspex over the dials and some brass fastners to the wood. ( this kit is very basic )BigGrin

It's looking really good. Keep it coming.
It brings back memories of the old wrecked one I had and rebuilt a few years ago.
Great fun.BigGrin

Time to have a go at Upholstery on the two seats. The seats and cushions are from a resin cast and need quite a bit of cleaning up. I sprayed the outer seat section and edged it with Semi-gloss black. The seat cushion is a flat plate with a piece of foam cut and bonded on. The leather is surprisingly stretchy. I used a super glue Gel to attach it.
The final finishing is a series of pins pushed through, bonded at the rear and cut to length.

The “Bucket” for the seat has its piece of cut foam glued in and then the leather is carefully stretched and bonded around the seat edge. Similar pin based buttons added although a hole has to drilled through the much thicker seat section. The pins get bent and bonded before trimming.

Something of a tricky process as described but I'm happy with the overall result. I’ll put a spot of black paint on the pin heads once the second seat is complete. Also some piping to add at the joint between the seat cushions.
