Re: Volvo A40F
 

This is easy compared what's coming:)

The checker plate is from Germany: http://knupfer.info/shop/index.php/d...e-platten.html

Have some faith in yourself and get out that TIG welder. You'll have it done in a snap!

Thanks for the link.

Re: Volvo A40F
 

ARi you have performed some excellent work on this modell

Re: Volvo A40F
 

Wow, it's an outstanding work of art. I've been following since the 1st post.

Re: Volvo A40F
 

Thanks guys :)
Today I made the inner fenders and the cab air intake/filter box.
It will also have fender extensions, but I didn't have the material for those, so I will add them later.

Whenever you build a piece of equipment I always think wow, there is no way that can be out done. Well guess what your added skill and patience really shows. Thanks for entertaining us with your builds.

Re: Volvo A40F
 

too funny....but I completely agree...:eek::eek:

Re: Volvo A40F
 

I got the fender extensions done and I also made the mud flaps :)
It still needs more steps;)

Re: Volvo A40F
 

As usual amazing job looking very good

Re: Volvo A40F
 

Wow you sir have an amazing talent keep up the hard work!

Re: Volvo A40F
 

Outstanding work!!! Drilling the holes in the step plates is bad enough but then to add all of the dimples is just over the top like all of your builds. PLEASE keep up the up dates!!

Re: Volvo A40F
 

Hello Ari.

What is happening, have you stopped working with your models..????

Re: Volvo A40F
 

No I haven't stopped, I've been trying to make the engine hood but still no success. I'm pretty sure now that I'm unable to do it out of aluminium, too many curved panel there. I must think of another solution

Re: Volvo A40F
 

A good way is to have the hood modelled in 3D, and order it at Shapeways.com, plastic 2 mm thick.

Re: Volvo A40F
 

wow! many nice Details, and also the Frame , great work!
