1/6 Scale Blade Runner Spinner scratchbuild (Complete!)

[Misterbadguy]

Outstanding stuff, the final article is no doubt going to blow everyone away.

Working on the interior, which is pretty much all that's left to do. The centre console is removable for access.

The mount for the overhead instruments locks it in place.

Lighting test.

I need to add a resistor to the vertical light, as it's blinding. The hand controls and a few other interior greeblies are all that's left to build.

 

[Marine Boy]

Making the controls. There will be an LED inside each one.

I built the switch to fold the wheels, which is also the rear navigation light. When the car is on the ground, power to the wheels is cut off. I have to lift the car to fold the wheels, so i needed the switch to be accessible from underneath.

Added another LED to the rear bulkhead and toned down the vertical light bar. Once the interior is painted, it won't be so bright.

Hand controls finished. Just to do a bit more painting to them.

Finished detailing the driver's side door panel.

The wiring is about 80% done. To make final assembly easier, i have to fit connectors to all the sub assemblies.

Jobs still to do: finish wiring, add more detail to the rear bulkhead and dash top, finish painting the interior, attach side bubble windows, fit floorplan glass panels, paint wheel covers and add stickers. I'm aiming to finish on or before 15th Nov, which is exactly 1 year from the first post.

 

[Marine Boy]

Some more work done to the rear bulkhead.

Adding more detail to the dash top. The square cut-out will be an illuminated panel.

The battery banks are stored above the wheels.

Access is through the wheel covers.

Last update - It's been 12 months and I'm very nearly finished. All the fabrication is done, all the wiring is done and all the painting is done. Last jobs to do are the final assembly, fitting the side windows, paint touch-ups and applying the stickers. Hopefully, it will be completed this weekend.

I want one! What a wonderful job you’ve done! Commendable!

I've not done the full reveal yet. There were many issues, particularly with the doors, that only manifested itself once the model was fully assembled. Correcting these faults proved very difficult, because it was tricky to handle such a large model within the confines of my shed and i really didn't want to have to dismantle it all over again.

Man. I loved seeing pics of your shed.
Your Bat build is legend. I’m still hoping to see more pics of that one!

More pics to follow.

Absolutely stunning. How did you make the decals, they look sharp.

I sourced the images from one of the Spinner threads on the RPF forums. After making some size adjustments and to match the blue paint i used, i printed it onto sticky paper. Then i covered the sheet with a sticky vinyl film. As they are paper based, I'm not able to get them wet in any way, ruling out any rain drenched shots. I'm missing the 2 decals on the windscreen and the door glass, as I couldn't think of a way to do them.
