What a crappy day! I got my new Johnny Pasrsons shirt today, spread it out on a chair to admire it, left the room for about 20 min. and came back to see that Bode the wonder lab decided to chew a few holes in it for me (see pic below). I did not kill him as I should have known better than to leave it out. Screwed up the feul inlets on the McLaren REAL BAD, had to start on a second body, the second attempt was successful though and now have to do new panel lines and naca ducts.  |

Sorry about the shirt, Lance, hopefully another one isn't hard to source. So do you make copies of the body you are working on at a point/some points along the way of the build so in case something like this happens that you don't have to start over? Jordan |

I'd like to hear lance's explanation but doing a resin copy midway is way to have a fresh sold master.....becuase the first master gets to a point were it gets a lot of body filler and primer that makes it hard to work with when it comes to scribe lines and other details (naca ducts, ex.) For example with my DW12 master I should have made a resin copy at the mid point because it kept of falling apart. |

Another shirt is on the way. Often times I do make a copy at some point in the proccess. The main reason I do this is because the first master will often contian several materials - basswood, milliputty and plastic styrene, this can create problems when it is time to cut panel lines or mill out a section of the body like the cockpit. different materials respond differently to the tools being used to shape them, when a master is all or mostly one material (resin in this case), it is easier to get cleaner and more consistant panel lines and predict how a tool will perform without any surprises along the way. And if you do really screw it up (like I did today) , you do not have to start completely over.

why would your dog eat your shirt? (Warning - bad joke) Lance must have told him(dog) the story about the hole in the engine block of the 1950 winner. (hole in engine block - hole in shirt) hahahha ha *crickets*  ...sorry |

Thanks for the insights, I find the pattern building process very interesting.

In my experience, young Labs will chew up almost anything. Great dogs, but a real PITA for the first few years.

Believe it or not, 3d modeling is very similar - I learned the hard way to save a separate file at every step in the process because sooner or later you will have to backtrack and if you don't save those intermediate steps your only other option is to start from scratch. |

Good, I do that already with CorelDRAW and Sketchup. Though honestly, it doesn't seem to be that helpful in CD. I think it is a holdover from my programming days where having versions that work was handy when constantly adding features. Jordan |

Lance, what kind of Mill do you have? I assume you have a vertical Mill - unless you are cheating and using a drill press some how? LOL

I cheat and use a drill press. I do have a unimat lathe and have actually made 2 pieces with it, both of them intake trumpets for turbo's.

The panel lines are done, need to finish some details for the fuel inlets and the front suspension. Have decided to have Michael do some better tires and wheels for this car, might as well start taking advantage of the technology that is available.  |

Here are the finished fuel fillers. I was pleased with how they turned out but still may have them done in 3d.  |
