Hello to all,
And today new advances in the Willys Jeep. This time it has been the turn to the horn and the instrument board.
In Photo 312 you can see the pieces that compose the horn stuck on corresponding cardboards and in Photo 313, all the cut pieces, with the painted edges. But I had a problem with the horn. It is that tiny piece that you can see coiled at the end of a small stick. The problem is that it did not seem to me that it had left with the correct size, seeing threads of construction of other companions. So armed with Corel Draw, I drew a piece like the one of the horn, but I made it double size and after that, I print it, as you can see in Photo 314. The piece trimmed to the right is the original one, the one at the left is the one that I drew.

And in Photo 315, you can see the horn already mounted. I like more my version than the tiny horn that had stayed if I had used the original one. In Photo 316 you can see the aspect of the horn in its place, in the Willys.

Next I have dedicated myself to the console of instruments. In Photo 317, as always, you can see the pieces before the cut, and, those that need it, already stuck to corresponding cardboards.

In Photo 318 all the pieces already cut and with the painted edges. And in Photo 319, all the pieces stuck in its place in the panel.

Good, so far already it is, but soon I will follow with more. And what follows they are the seats.
Greetings.
Hi Yu-san,
I like very much the angle from which you took the photo. It gives a very much dramatic quality to your construction.
As for the build, as usual, outstanding. =D>
Best wishes.
Hi buddies,
Ricleite, thank you for your kind words. I am very happy to meet you here at Kartonbau.
As far as the Willys this moves this advances without stopping.
Today it has touched the turn to the steering wheel, the pedals and the battery. In Photo 301, the pieces that compose the pedals and the steering wheel of the Willys. And in Photo 302 you can see mounted the pedals, the axis of the steering wheel and trimmed and painted the same steering wheel. The supports of the pedals are maintained by the very small end of the paper, but with a drop of glue, they do not mean any problem.
301. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1A486F43461D482AFE7B20482AFC7D.jpg] 302. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/23486F434F1E482AFE8520482AFC86.jpg]
In Photos 303 and 304 two views of the finished steering wheel. Some companions of other Forums have used different materials. I use the paper, not by purism, but because I am learning to handle scales and textures, and I still do not dare with nothing else. Mainly after the poor result with the cables of the spark plugs (yes, yes I take them nailed in the heart, but I want to obtain satisfaction).
303. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/24486F435920482AFE9021482AFC90.jpg] 304. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/25486F436322482AFE9B22482AFC9A.jpg]
And in Photo 305 the pedals glued in its place in the body. I do not know why it serves the black button underneath the accelerator pedal, but the instructions indicate that this is its place and there is. Also what I said before, the pedals are maintained by that very small end of paper, but just as before, a drop of glue and it already is. They are self-sustained.
305. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/17486F436727482AFEA026482AFC9E.jpg]
And now it is the hour of the battery and the other box close to him that I do not know what it is. In Photo 306 the pieces before being trimmed. And in Photo 307 the pieces once passed through the edge of the cutter, with the folds already done and the edges diligently painted.

In Photo 308 I have already stuck the two boxes. The paper goes edge against edge, without flaps, but given the size, with a few drops of glue, and holding them with my fingers while this one is dried, I obtain that they maintain his form. And in the Photo the 309 two finished boxes.

Photo 310 shows the first box stuck in its place. For the battery, its position is only indicated with a points line. As it seemed to me excessive to stick the battery only by the edge, I cut and stuck a card plaster of 0.5 mm, a little below the line of points, so that the battery stayed to its correct height. And in the Photo the 311 two boxes in its place.

That is everything for today, tomorrow more. Well, I do not know if tomorrow, but certainly in a moment.
Greetings to all.
Very nice progress. Your planking looks very professional. It fits perfectly.
Great job. =D>
Thank you for posting.
Hi folks,
Royaloakmin, yes it have been two and a half months... and it is a lot of time without seeing true advances. But now I can "see" the Jeep taking shape :yahoo:
This moves more and more fast.
Today it was the turn to the front mudguards of the Willys. The single problem that I have found is that there is one narrow strip of paper that borders and gives outer form at the mudguards and has been a little laborious to obtain that it stayed in his place, but at the end, and with a little patience, I have obtained it.
In Photo 295 you can see, as always, the pieces that compose the mudguards before cutting them. And in Photo 296 those same pieces already trimmed.
295. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/24486CD88721482893B618482891BE.jpg] 296. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1D486CD8A424482893D41A482891DB.jpg]
In Photo 297 the face and the back of the mudguards and the strip that outlines them are sticking. First I fold the pieces separately and later I stick one against another, this way they maintain its form far better. And in Photo 298 the folded part of this small strip of paper is sticking.

In Photo 299 I am sticking the bottom reinforcement of the mudguards and in Photo 300 you can see the global look of the Willys with the stuck mudguards. You are going to agree with me that it already seems a Jeep, right?

Well, for the present time nothing else, but soon I will return with new updates. Now the build is going at top speed. :thumb:
Greetings to all.
Hello companions,
Now it seems that this build finally advances quicker. Because it seems that what I am doing now is to be filling the body and finishing components of the Willys.
First, today, it has been the turn of the fuel tank, for that reason in Photo 281 you can see, as always, the pieces before cutting them. But this time, I have forgotten to take the following photography with the cut pieces and some of the process of assembly of the top part of the fuel tank. So in Photo 282, surprise!, it appears the top part of the fuel tank already mounted and I begin to mount the bottom part. As always, first I stick one side and, when it is dry, the other, one behind another one.

Also I have skipped some passages of the bottom part of the fuel tank, and thus in Photo 283 I show you the two parts of the fuel tank already finished. I hope that you will pardon this lack of photographies.
283. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/19486B95ED1E4827511B1F48274F24.jpg]
In Photos 284 and 285 a view from down and another one from above of the two parts of the fuel tank already stuck in its place in the Willys.

The second part of the today tasks have been to mount the grill and the lateral protectors of the engine. In Photo 286 you can see the pieces that compose this part of the assembly and in the Photo 287 the pieces cut, with painted edges and ready to be mounted in the frame.

In Photos 288, 289 and 290 I show you how I have held the bottom frontal grill to the frame while stuck, by pressing it with small pliers, and then the top part with an improvised press with different tools. Finally, in Photo 290, the frontal grill already stuck in its place.

Well, that is everything for today. I hope that soon I can show new advances to you.
Until then.
Greetings to all.
Rene, I am very impressed. The pictures of your model look like the real one. An outstanding work of craftman. @)
You are doing an increible precise build. =D>
Thank you for showing your work.
I like very much how your model have been. =D>
Hello companions,
Today another little advance with the Willys. The bumpers and stick the body to the main frame.
In photo 272 you can see the pieces that compose the bumpers, before trimming them. I have already stuck on card piece 26. In Photo 273 all the trimmed pieces with all the painted edges. All? A little piece does resist to being occupied by the Roman invader ah, it seems to me that I am getting confused of history (do you know the French comic Asterix?). No, not all are painted, as always; I realized the forgetfulness when seeing this photo. Luck, because if no, another small disaster to the saga of the errors.

274. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/324869BA651F4825757B1D4825739C.jpg]
And in Photos 275 and 276 I have already stuck the bumpers to the frame. Taking advantage of the occasion I also have stuck the hook of tow in the back of the frame.

Finally, in the series of photographies 277 to the 280, you can see that I have already stuck the body to the frame. Now it is that the Willys already seem a car. It is the moment that I hoped. Now I see the LIGHT at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks to all by your encouragements, they have helped me to arrive up to here.
Greetings and, I hope, until soon.
Your build is extraordinady. I am following it, learning many habilities, on the way.
Thank you.
Very, very, very nice model. You have done a great job. =D>
Greetings.
Yu-san,
Your model is loking very well done. The mix of ralings hand made and laser cut is not apparent in the model.
Thank you for showing it. Greetings.
Hi Sena-san,
I am very interested in this model, so I will follow your build with great interest.
It is going very well until now. Please, keep going and showing your work.
Thank you.
I have also received it. How was the model? Fit it well? Do you have find any problem until now?
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful model. Very well done build. Nice pictures.
What more can you ask for?
René, are you on time for the meeting? I am following your build and learning a lot with it.
Thank you.
Yu-san, thank you for your kind words.
You are building a vehicle with steel "tires". I am sure you can build a vehicle with soft tires.
Try it and share the build with us. Sure, we are going to learn a lot with your build, as with all your other builds. :yahoo:
Greetings.
Hello companions,
I promised more and here I am. Now it is the turn to mount the buckets of the axes, to which the wheels, the direction and the arms of transmission of the gear box, fix to the axes of the wheels.
In the Photo 262 the pieces which I am going to fulfill this phase. You may observe the four pieces of previous post that, between all the others, almost get unnoticed (but the work that is there!).
262. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/29485F2C1C2B481AE72326481AE553.jpg]
In Photo 263 I have stuck the three pieces that will form the direction. They are those that have so visible the white points. One is behind the frame and it is not seen.
263. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2A485F2C1D24481AE72527481AE554.jpg]
In Photo 264 I have stuck the box of gear of the steering wheel. Look that a straight piece of paper connects this box with the arms of the L of the direction, on the front axis.
264. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2C485F2C1F27481AE72829481AE556.jpg]
In Photo 265 I offer to you a general view of the frame until this moment. In it the buckets of fixation of the wheels are appraised. I had stuck these before, but the four are better seen here. The frame continues maintaining itself balanced perfectly, without no inclination, on the four crossbows and shock absorbers.
265. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2D485F2C2029481AE72A2A481AE557.jpg]
In Photo 266 I already have stuck the two rods of wire that connect the L of the direction with stringers that move the wheels. Look that on each end of the rods I have placed a piece of round paper. Of these pieces there were only two in kit, thats why I have had to print several more until having one for each location.
266. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2E485F2C212B481AE72C19481AE558.jpg]
In Photo 267 I am sticking the radiator of the engine in its place on the frame. No problem here.
267. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/26485F2C2224481AE72E1A481AE559.jpg]
And finally in the sequence of Photos 268 to 271 I offer you a general view of the state of the Willys until this moment. This already begins to look like a vehicle! After so many weeks working, it seems that already I see something of light, not the one at the end of the tunnel, but at least, something of light. In these photographies you can see that I have also stuck the axes of communications of shaft thrust of the wheels, with the pieces that I have mentioned several times.

Well, now it follows the body. I will maintain upgraded to you.
Until then, greetings to all.
I like very much how the locomotive is looking. Very well done job Yu-san. Congratulations. =D>
I can't understand german, so I don't understand what you talk about.
But this pieces look very well done to me. Good job.
Thank you for posting.
It is going very well your build. I follow it with great interest.
Great model and build. Please keep posting.
Thank you.
I am waiting to receive this model from the shop. I will follow your thread with great interest.
The fit it Ok? Are the instructions easy to read (in english)? Is a dificult model? I have never build a boat so I am a little afraid.
Thank you.
I will follow your build with great interest because I am interested in this airplane.
Thank you.
Hello companions,
Today I bring to you another limited progress with the Willys.
In Photo 254 I show to you the pieces that I have finished until now. The frame, the wheels, the engine and the body. The photo only lacks the axes of the wheels (it is that I forgot them).
254. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1E485E25222A4819E0212D4819DE59.jpg]
In Photo 255 you can see the pieces that I am going to mount next. But while, I have cut and given form to the wires that hold the axes of the wheels to the frame, as you can see in Photo 256. And in Photo 257 I have already placed all the wires in its place.
255. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/21485E2525254819E025304819DE5C.jpg] 256. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/23485E2527284819E028324819DE5E.jpg] 257. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/24485E25282A4819E02A334819DE5F.jpg]
And now comes one of those works that likes very much to all us, truth? A bunch of miniature pieces. What you see in Photo 258 are the pieces that form the universal joint of the transmission to the axes of the wheels. They are two pieces in U shape that are glued by its ends to a piece in the form of cross. Of these pieces there is a total of four, two for each axis of transmission (front and back wheels) and each one of the four have two pieces in the form of U. Each piece in the form of U have two pieces of paper (front and back). You can imagine how I have enjoyed cutting and sticking all these miniatures. So that later it passes unnoticed in the assembly this great work. But what can we do, our hobby is like this, truth?
258. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/25485E2529234819E02C2B4819DE60.jpg]
In Photo 259 you can see one of the pieces, totally finished and the other three in process of glueing. In Photo 260 I have stuck a part of the U to the piece in the form of cross and in Photo 261 you can see the four finished pieces.

Greetings.
Hi yu-san,
Whay can I say? I agree with everybody YOU ARE A MASTER. And you have a very sharp sense of humour, which is even better.
I enjoy a lot your builds (and on the way I am learning a lot of new tips).
Thank you for sharing, please "keep showing" (I now you are going to "keep showing") ;).
Greetings.
A great job of art. =D>
Very nice model. I like it very much. Very good work on it.
Even the beds!! Great job, very well done =D>
I think it is a very complicated structure, but you are going very well.
The tires look very well done. And yes, spring is coming. In Barcelona we have had 20-25º today.
Thank you for your nice words, Thomas.
Royaloakmin, thank you for your encouragement. It is something very helpful in a build.
Your build looks very nice to me. I will follow it.
Hello once again,
Royaloakmin, thank you for your encouragement. It is something very helpful in a build.
Today I bring a new advance at the Willis Jeep. This time is the auto body. In Photo 243 they appear, before cutting them, the pieces that are going to be the sidewalls and the part where the hood of the Willys will be fixed. And in the Photo 244 all those pieces already cut and prepared for the assembly.

Photo 250 shows the pieces that compose the frontal part of the body where the hood is fixed to the body. In Photo 251 I am sticking them to each other. This piece turned out to be quite difficult to mount because the ends are doubled and it is necessary to do it with a lot of care. First it is necessary to double each piece of paper separately, and soon when uniting each one of the pieces, it is necessary to obtain that they stay doubled.

In Photo 252 I am sticking them to the body. And in Photo 253 you can see the finished body.

Good, in a little time I will be able to mount all the pieces that I have been accumulating of the Willys. I can assure to you that the aspect is impressive, although I reserve myself the presentation, because before I must make other many small tasks, like for example glueing the axes of the wheels to the chassis, sticking the wheels to the axes, place the motor and the radiator in its place, mount the arms of transmission of the motor to the boxes of transmission, etc. As you see I have veeeery much ahead work.
Up to soon, with more progresses.
