The Mad Max Interceptor build is winding down now, so i like to start a new project as I'm waiting for paint to dry. I'm not going all in on it just yet, as the size of it means I have to clear the other projects from my shed first. I just wanted to tackle the hardest part first, the front end, because of it's multitude of shapes and angles.
Easiest bit first, the driver's door.
The turret side went together quite quickly, as the base and sides around the turret are horizontal and vertical. Using these faces as a datum, it was fairly easy to determine the angles of the adjoining panels.
Before attaching the door panel, i had to make sure the whole assembly was perfectly level, so I taped it to a piece of plywood.
With both sides held in position, it just needed the 2 panels making to join them together. 4 days work so far.
