thank you. The above pics cover up the progress so far pretty well, i'll post new ones when the work resumes.

plastic is not used anywhere, paper (standard A4 sheets) and cardboard form most of the raw materials as these pics will show

I think card modelling is fascinating, especially when you are making complex curves as in a car body. This is looking very interesting and coming along very well. Are you using a plan or pictures for the guidance?

Then I stand corrected, apologies for that, outstanding card work. I have enough issues working on preformed plastic never mind even attempting anything is card.

It's looking good so far, especially seeing as it's made of card. Will the indicators work? :P

yes, first i study some pictures and then draft a blueprint with associated dimensions

Will the indicators work? :P

not in this one, maybe in the next build

Hi again! completed the engine assembly

1. cylinder head badges ready to be painted and mounted

3. writing "BMW Power" within the 10mm space was a bit tricky

4. a few more bits for the cylinder head

5. intake header under construction

6. a cavity had to be cut from the hood to accommodate the complete engine

7. intake header near completion

8. header completed

9. mounted on the engine

10. alternator and other auxiliary pulleys mounted

11. cam-belt mounted
