Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione





WOW look at the color.....so outstanding rite??



This is the first hand built model car that I wish to finished this year…I miss the headache :lol: ….has been started in may 2007, this is consider an a-z hand build model starting from 2D pic’s to drawing, scratch building, molding and finishing….yup its long way to go. Hope I have energy to see the finish product…

Yes I’ve been in this job before. Just to make sure that I gain a wonderful experience even though I did not get what I call appreciation to having the talent :rolleyes: .
I choose the subject because of the color; shape (sexy) and there’re so many pics’ that show an angle which is easier to draw with.

This shape is very hard to get the balancing correctly; therefore I’d to use a lighting to see an invisible line in order to get the guide line.



Let start the W.I.P…



My favorite’s materials epoxy bondite
This shape was built trough drawing that’s I’d drawn.





That’s all for now….will see you all again….

C&C are welcome…

KEEP UP MODELING….

*Slurrrrp*

Sexy car, bro. This one's gonna be with interior or not?

Looking forward for more. :D

Hahaha... finally this sexy car made its way into the forum...

Like I said before again and again, I'm amazed on how you're able to create 3D
object from a few 2D pictures with only some pictures available...

Can't wait to see more... :D

Yup with interior....the only part i could not do is.....bottom part, i'll built as same as minichamp :lol:

Don't worry bro i'll update asap its because i'd created my new photobucket ac :lol: :lol: hope I can upload often :D

your alfatta shape is something like aston martin ogle that i'd build before.....see photo...this photo i took before polishing and cleaning :lol: :lol:

Don't compare to Kenneth works ha :lol:





If dimension ok ,maybe can used this one as a base....

Dremel,

Nice to see you posting up one of your scratch built cars. I know you had been working for the Oon Brothers scratch building these alfas and finally it is in here. It would be a great example to the world of auto modellers that there is a good malaysian guy who can do such stuff. I really look forward to seeing more WIPs!
Oh! please lah! my polishing works are no as good as you guys think lah! ;)

Yes something like that.........

If you search the internet ....I think can cari the plan last time I download somewhere.......I will try and search ......if ada then I will post here.......the designer is bertone...(if not mistaken) gugiro or something like that the fellow name....but chop under alfa.....

Nevermind keep your in progress of your current 8c.......its super enough......

Rgds
Mr b

yup ,thanks Kenneth ;) I'll forward this W.I.P to other forum out there as usual. Hope they will drop by to our forum and observe at what we can do here.

And I've always study from thier comments as well to upgrade our skill.

FYI, this alfas 100% creations is mine and not related to any handmade company or what so ever. Now I'm in my way.....independent model maker :D

Thanks for your support , I'll appreciate it ;)

mr b, I'll check in supercar.net....hope can find some nice angel to start wif drawing first ;)

New pic's uploaded.....

Try to get the right curve, balancing, proportions, invisible line and the rough shape at the 2nd stage. And always draw the centre line as a guide. This stage is the harder task because that is the master plan to build up the next stage.






Thats all for the time be.....I'll upload a few more update....

P/s- thats is how i practice recribing panel line without using any template :lol: :lol:

Thanks for viewing.... :D

Nice updates. Is this gonna be a master mold? It would be very interesting to see it completed. ;)

Can't wait to see how you tackle the headlight cluster. The shape is coming along nicely. :)

My only negative comment is that I would prefer it to be in 1/24th scale! :lol:

Looking good, Naza. Maybe you can bring this over at Cineleisure this weekend for closer look.

Kenneth, druid_99,xamel1975-Thanks for your support...This one not going to be fast.....i'll try my best....still got a lot of things to prepare...

Harman, hand built model car the best is 1/43.....1/24 market not so good....

Alfa 1

Hi guys update time….

Actually I’ve no idea where exactly the positions/seize of the head ligh and rear light….I’d been always drill to where that I feel close enough….than I’ll keep add putty and drill till I got the closer positions when I compare to the pic’s.

Hope this pic’s will describe what I mean with….





And slowly refine the shape ….this task will take some time…..this is not the final master yet….









Will upload some more …..

Thanks for viewing…..C & C are welcome….

Looking good there Naza.

i change a lot from this stage.....as i said rounder shape is not an easy to handle wit....

Amazing updates dremel! Keep it coming! Looks like it is getting into shape pretty well. So want are you gonna do with the interior?

Very good progress. The head lights looks great. BTW, how are you going to handle the clear parts? Especially the lights, with all the "lines" on the inside.

I think you should recast this baby and start selling them :D

You are a true craftsman.......

Lovely work .....I agree with YG ....recast and sell.......bro.....

So the birth of chap "naza"

Super.....once again

rgds
mr b

Kenneth-Thanks bro, yup interior... ....after this i'll post the final master....as what you have seen there is only the detailing positions testing....
hope can post by monday....let the body complete than i'll show you how an interior works with....stay tune


YGTan-Thanks for your support bro,ok head light clear part will be a vax form technique....as you can see at the real car that i posted at 1st page..ther're clean with no line on it. BTW...head light will be at the last part to tackle with...
wish me bro I'm sure i'll share with you guys...its not so fast anyway.... :)


mr b-Thanks for all kind of words Bro 'B'....well I don't think i'll ask so much trouble doing it ...if i only can get one....stay tune ...still have alot of view to share with you guys....

And thanks again guys....thanks for your suppot...Happy Modeling :D

Alfa 2

Here after sanding, putty, sanding putty ….but this one also need to re fine, sanding, refind sanding…..hahaha…this one needs a lot of patient and times consuming…. :D

Gambarlah pulak…. ;)











Not only that’s….I’d to korek inside of the body to get a right thickness. Must at least 1.5 mm and max are 2mm more and lesslah….




Thanks for viewing….

See you…C & C are welcome…. :D

Wow! good koreking work there man! With the kind of thickness. Isn't it a little risky? you might korek too much and leave a hole. Heheheheh! Aiyah you good at korek lobang huh! make sure to korek the right one! :lol:

yup its risky....i've always got crack line on the roof because of the wibrations. Its normal bro.....pecah also normal....than you can see how the thickness....equal or not :D ...its ok....you can alway tampal and resand....

:lol: :lol: koreking memang my favourite tastlah bro :lol: :lol:

Works on interior…

I really like working with epoxy bondite….try to get the rough shape less than 1 hour….
Its will speed the process. ….this stage are a lot of calculations involve….otherwise its will a big problem on fitting….










That’s all about it….will up load an interior after refine and primer….

See you…C & C are welcome… :D

:blink: ...i'm speechless Naza...all i can say is "GREAT WORK" man...

Here as a promised…. ;)

Basic interior, seat, door panel, side mirror.....













Stay tune….there a lot more progress …btw I might skip 1 or 2 process….because I’ve to keep it as a confidential…hahaha skit only :lol: :lol:

After this is a mold process and casting....its will take a lot time though. Therefore this thread will be freeze for the time be..... B)

See you guys….

C & C are welcome….HAPPY MODELING :D



PcEvo- Thanks bro.... :D
