Man that chassis is awesome. Love that all the parts are pinned in. Great coverage of your sanding and polishing. Appreciate the insight into your process.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks Spencer 👍 it was challenging to say the least😁 just wait for the 42 rivets in the body😂. I appreciate you man!

[@raymondblasee1048]

James, I enjoyed the chassis build and body polishing. As usual, your work is to incredible standards! That chassis has insane detail!!! Its mind blowing when you put the body and interior on the chassis near the end of the video, such a great looking model from 3D! Its gonna look incredible with the engine and wheels on when done!!!!

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks for watching Ray, there is still a lot of work to be done in hopes of finishing it by 10/12. I’ll try!

[@craigwhite5703]

Where did you get the rotary tool sponges? Also, how many coats of clear prior to final sanding? Thanks.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

The rotary tool is from Laski Scale scaleproshop.com/products/tacklife-3-7v-li-on-cordless-rotary-tool the pads are from Amazon. They are 1” foam with velcro. I applied 2 mist coats of 2k and 1 wet coat. I was worried about the decals so I needed the 2 mist coats.

[@stevenholland9984]

This is a great build Ken block was an amazing driver and I would like to recreate this for my collection also sir great build

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks for watching Steven. Next time I build this kit (hint hint) I’ll do a better job. The suspension was tricky to pin together and the drivetrain was seriously challenging. Good luck with your build!

[@sindrelangvatn7295]

This is a Awesome build. Love it, and loving your videos. 😊😊😊

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks so much Sindre! I appreciate you👍

[@Juan_Rivera835]

Really looking great, There sure is a lot of detail on the front end, nice. Think I'll add this kit to my list.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks Juan, it’s a great kit. He also offers a chassis that’s already assembled with the suspension pieces. I wanted to try the resin printed bolts 😁

[@carlkandetzki9077]

You do such excellent work. Your builds and tutorials never get old if I make it to the nnl next year I will be wearing a t shirt

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks Carl! I’ll be looking for you😎 thanks for your support bud!

[@cratecruncher4974]

Nice progress! I still get giddy knowing you created it from a bottle of goo.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Hehehe, I forgot! Stinky goo😂

[@Shooter_FPV]

Crazy awesome work! You got me building one! Where did you get the pins (both sizes)??

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Hi shooter. They are the same bolts. I sized them from 75% to 275% so I’d have an assortment. Not sure where I got them. Probably cults. I know Slowlys models has some similar for free.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

That is looking sweet, James! And it reminds me that I need to wet sand my Porsche build.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks JD👍 I really should work on my technique so I don’t have to wet sand for 8+ hours 😂

[@Pinkys-one-offs]

That is coming along really good great build. 👍🏻

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks so much Pinky! I appreciate your support👍

[@scaleffect]

Great work James, that chassis looks killer. Do you like the Tamiya polishing blocks? I've considered getting some, but so far my glasses cleaning cloth methods seems okay. But I don't know what I don't know, so maybe the Tamiya product is better.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

When I started polishing the top with ceramic compound by hand it was not enough to get the scratches out so I switched to the pads with finish compound. The pads are a little more aggressive when using compounds which is what I needed. If you’re getting good results with a glasses cloth stick with it. If you need more ooumpf use the pads.

[@scaleffect]

@@ScaleModelExperiment Thanks, there are definitely times I need a little more cut, so I might grab a set next time I hit the hobby shop.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

@scaleffect they are cheap and last forever!

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Yeahhh, definitely 'getting closer' James! Nice work and well done.. both for the polishing and also cleaning the 3D prints to a beautiful smooth finish. Looking forward for the next update.
