What are your plans for the semaphores?
May I suggest fully moving and blinking, actuated by the dash switch?
From observing your skills that should not be too difficult for you.
Amazing work, just as interesting as watching a full size car build.
I was going to say "real car" but that would be an insult to you work.
If you make those semaphores blink make sure it is a dim 6V blink. |
Semaphores don't blink they just light.
I could see using an LED hidden inside the gas tank and use fiberoptics to make one open semaphore light.
I can send you some extremely thin fiber light guides if you would like to give it a try.

The body is now closed, and i can only glue the semaphores in from outside- as non working units. Maybe next model. 
Luggage got some colour:

Im working on the roof rack fixings, and mirror. I had the searchlight/mirror done, but i didn't like it, so made the new one- without the searchlight.
Here the parts mounted on the toothpicks ready for some paint.

Siara...you really should do another set of fog lights like the one you did on the panel bus, but this time make them amber.

Very well done, looks fantastic... no reason to consider my opinion, but I guess I'll still express it...
I think the car looks better without the luggage and sled on the rack. I love the skis on the ski rack but I think the stuff on the roof rack is taking away from the stunning detail of the car.

| The only thing I don't like about this build is it is coming to an end and I won't be able to come back to watching the progress of such an awesome model! |
