Best brass work I have seen in a long time and that car is much smaller than I imagined. Just stunning - it´s almost a shame to paint it .

Hi Folks,

  Thank you Dallas!  (metal is very dirty )

  Ray,  The holes are a recessed spot for mounting screws on the 1:1

  Chester,  Appreciate the comments!

  Thank you Jester

  Hi Anders, Thank you my friend!

   
Finally had some bench time!!!   


  Made up  door hinges by cutting down  "Micro-Mark"  small hinges....

































  Mock up time,  the cowling piece is not soldered in yet..






Now a roof,  .005 brass sheet that is heated cherry red then beat down around the form.  Corners are 'pie cut'  then filled with solder..
























  That is all I have for now,  thanks for looking in!

Fan-TAS-tic brass work. 
How you did the corners of the roof reminds me of lead paddle custom work back in the 60's. 
Each piece of this model is a work of art. Great job so far - can't wait to see more.
Beautiful hinges, too.

Beautiful craftsmanship!
Love all the metal!
Thanks for taking time to show us!

(I "think" there are only 2 hinges.....)

Again, incredible brass work Randy - will be simply stunning when painted - if you dare to take the risk!

I am surprised the .005" brass on the roof does not distort with the heat. The top is nice and smooth. Very much a master craftsman at work. It appears very little in sophisticated machinery or CAD drawings are used here.

Nice job Randy, thanks for sharing.

I always thought a bit odd that every extra-terrestrial being seems to arrive either in New York or in California, but considering the number of non-human "people" on this forum, I may revise my opinion...

Randy,
Amazing work! I've been told that I was certifiable, but I think I have to give it up to you.
Way to go! I can't wait to see it finished.
