After layers of spray putty, primer, spot putty and sanding I finally got a reasonably smooth 3D printed body with almost no layer lines visible. Then it was time to fit out the cockpit.
The front suspension shock absorbers intruded a bit into the cockpit area so the seating and indeed the backs of the Tamiya 1/12 scale Formula One driver figures had to be relieved for clearance. The seating was made from 3mm foamed pvc heat bent into an S shape to fit the driver figures.
Once that issue was sorted I could begin adding kit part detail to flesh out the interior. The figures required some modification to get their hands into position and the steering wheel was made from a piece of 2mm styrene, filed to shape.
The exterior body work was scribed into panels using an OLFA plastics cutter and was followed with a coat of grey primer for both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
Thanks for looking.
More soon...
