Some progress

Small steps that take a lot of effort. I have managed to fabricate all 4 tires and all 4 rims. The tires need painting and so does the last 2 rims. But the good thing is that now I have all the equipment and some practice for finishing them.

The second update covers the brakes. Firstly - all 4 are done :) Secondly they have a new finish so they would stand out a bit more than the black version. After all, I put a lot of effort into them. But the mat gold finish is not too flashy and replicates the Brembo calipers that I had for reference pretty good. Just the red sticker missing right now.

The two little air intakes next to the headlights are also being made ;)

Dunlop tires

Found a way making the tires. Material used is hi dense styrofoam. After sanding with 400 grit sandpaper the texture is spot on. It will have to be painted and for that I'm using PVA glue and water based paint mixture. PVA also protects the soft styrofoam surface from scratches.

Alclad 2 polished aluminum

Front left wheel is done and rear left is one step behind. Materials used: gray primer, gloss black, polished aluminum and aqua gloss clear. All above from Alclad2.

Finishing the fabrication of the wheel

Very time consuming task to finish off the spokes one by one.
