Wooden DMC build - silverlux - 07 May 2013

Hi to everyone, as a big fan of DMC building one of my first wooden cars in scale of 1:10. This is sort of learning curve project along some other ones.
Hope to update on regular basis.
Enjoy!

That is absolutely awesome, i can you see you getting some orders from people on here, fans and owners,perhaps even personalising the models so they are
a replica of the owners own car..!!!... i like it alot...keep it up the good wood..or wood work..!!!! Smile

Re: Wooden DMC build - lukebrynycz - 07 May 2013

Agreed, absolutely awesome! 8)

Re: Wooden DMC build - malcy34 - 07 May 2013

and of course we need to see a Time Machine wooden model..!!!! Big Grin

Re: Wooden DMC build - Rich Hanlon - 07 May 2013

Fantastic!

Roughly how long has this taken you?

Re: Wooden DMC build - silverlux - 07 May 2013

@ Rich Hanlon - thanks, I started this build in start of last month, it has taken so long coz one of my main tools broke down and I had to order new one, better one for more precise work....and I do another project as well, which is toyota mr2 as I'm fan of them cars as well and I'm an owner of one....and as this build is my first one, it takes time as well to pick up things. It's more like artwork, no rules, just imagination Wink In basics, there should be around 80+ hours involved so far.
@ malcy34 - time machine is cool car, I might modify it with bits from it once this DMC is close to finish line
@ lukebrynycz - thanks, appreciate that Wink

I sold my MR2 Turbo to get this Delorean. It was a sleeper, 420hp/380fp with bootmount IC :wink:

They're amazing cars aint they!

Re: Wooden DMC build - silverlux - 09 May 2013

@ Deloreanyorkshire - thanks mate, appreciate that

@ lukebrynycz - geez, 400-hp for mr2 is mad fast...my one is n/a, at the moment off the road, trying to raise cash to put it back on. Cool car, love the tbar and turning heads when it passes people in city Wink

Re: Wooden DMC build - Chris Williams - 22 May 2013

Re: Wooden DMC build - silverlux - 22 May 2013

@ Rich Hanlon - appreciate that mate
@ Chris Williams - a bit of task to put it together Smile it's only 35mm wide and for a first go it looks superb. Only when zoomed with camera you can see more details Big Grin Dials are edited on photoshop, then printed number of times on photo paper to get close enough color and resolution as fine as possible, then glued on tiny wood panel behind it, then everything covered with auto lacquer to give a print and details max protection from fingers and any moisture. Had plastic in front of it, but removed as colors are better without it.
