Re: Porsche 917 LH
I touched up the area in the decals that has an overlap (where the wheel well cut out would be) I wasn’t 100% sure the Martini decals would fully cover the bad spots. All the main decals are on it, except the Martini sponsorship ones.

Re: Porsche 917 LH
Wheels and tires are done. Semi soft rubber-like tires, aluminum rims, white metal centers with two piece PE/white metal nuts, and 18 decals… The tread on the tires is very well done.

Re: Porsche 917 LH
Commencing final assembly… It is tight, but the body does fit over the chassis.

Re: Porsche 917 LH
The engine cover is done too… The inside is painted a raw fiberglass color. It is almost done…

Re: Porsche 917 LH
Since the decision was made to display it all open and to not install the wheels, I made some jacks to pose it on. Made mostly from piano wire, with a couple bits of styrene, vinyl tubing, coffee stirrer wood (thanks Mr. Taylor), and turned aluminum main wheels. They are copies of typical of the jacks of the day that were used, but simplified a little.
  I also made a base from aluminum, scribed some tile detail into it and did some gray & black shading to it.  |
