#95 [Builder's view]TAMIYA Lotus Europa Special under construction ...

[@stevehoulihan726]

Looks like a lot of work adding that piece to the rear. I suppose there was nothing you could do to the engine cover to make it fit... Excellent result though, as always.

[@StephenRansom47]

😂 complete agree.

[@davidhinkson8856]

Wow! Some very clever and intricate work you're doing here - fit and finish might actually end up better than the real thing was!

[@t4concepts]

Because you added a hinged boot lid it moved the boot lid further back, adding that 0.5mm to the rear section was genius! Been following this build ................. not been getting much sleep lately! ; ) Pity Tamiya never made a Lotus Esprit model, as I used to own one of them years ago, an S3 ( model before the Turbo ). I'd love to build one of those and keep on a shelf as a reminder of better times in my life. You're a true master, thank you so much sir. TURK - France

Thank you, please watch other videos! 😃

[@wyldeparnelle955]

I starting watching your videos and I am amazed at your skills. You give me inspiration for my builds.

[@Classic-747]

Awesome, great work, what precision, good luck for the future 👍👍👍

[@ANKCreative]

Good work

[@andrewgrace4410]

Artistic quality work my friend, thank you 👌🏾😸

[@johnnychen9897]

I doubt the fit and finish on an actual Europa will be as good as this miniature.

[@sockmonkey4484]

I was thinking the same thing. These things were more kit than car. I believe that, in the 70s, the quality control team at Lotus was Colin Chapman’s nephew and a checklist consisting of the words “Tires, 4 each”.

[@peterbonnez]

I had a yellow one, it was fantastic to drive. But fit and finish is. as you say, better on this model! My drive UK to Spain and back is a motoring highlight, it was perfection.

Bro! Those Pillars around the Doors are so Tiny! Great work it breaking them!!!

[@panzer-meister]

お疲れ様でした。ボディのかさ増しは、正直エグいです。流石（笑）。

[@TheLahaina0915]

まさかそこにプラ板貼るとは…「良い子は真似しないでください」ってキャプションを入れていいレベル。まさに閲覧注意の匠の技。

[@mikerogsch7535]

Nice work!!! 👍🏻

[@幸ちゃん-b5b]

チリの、調整は広いとオモチャ、狭いと非現実的な事になる。実車のチリ幅を想定してるとことかもう最高😃⤴️⤴️恐ろしさすら感じます。

[@turam5526]

My dad actually starting to watch your videos😂👍

[@tkknk8202]

自分も同じキット制作始めてリアウインドウ下からドアヒンジのパネルは実車も別れてるかと思ってそのまま組む予定で接合せずにパーツのままボディー塗装終えてからこの動画観て気付きました。デカール貼る前だったのが不幸中の幸い。この動画みたいな神レベルのライン消しはできそうもないけど素人なりに参考になります(*_*)

[@kenji-plasticmodels]

ありがとうございます、ここやりにくい所ですよね……😅ヤスリのカタチをキチンと合わせてやると少しは楽です。

[@kuroblacknoir]

もうこれカロッツェリアの仕事内容では…？ ドアの開閉機構が楽しみです。

[@nightcrow6965]

お疲れ様です。 リアウインドウ部の分割はイヤラシイですね。 パテ埋めのサンディングがし難そう。 Aピラーもヤバい細さですねー。カウンタック並みぢゃないですか？ リアハッチは、自分のような凡人は間違いなくハッチ側を削って辻褄を合わせます。 ボディ側をカサ増しするという発想に辿りつかないのが普通ですし、 仮に思いついても実行しません。大変だから…

[@jesusjimenez-rj4fu]

great work,

[@mamannki]

貴方様の制作日記は何故か心が癒されます。ポテチを食べてた手が止まりポテチをゆっくり食べるようになりました。見入ってしまう魔法のような動画です。これからも頑張って下さい

[@kenji-plasticmodels]

ありがとうございます、続けていきます😊

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@crazerewolf]

ドア前部がボディに入り込むヒンジを再現すれば、すごい。ニチモ1/12でも京商1/18でも再現してないのです。

[@murasemasa70]

ドア下がふにゃふにゃ…実車のサイドシルが頑丈な理由がわかる気がします。

[@StephenRansom47]

Heavens, was that the right move? Plating the tail instead of shortening the boot? Master, was this wise… all of the sharp detail… I am lost 😞 Please explain. Just joking. But sometime you bring out the crazy and this was one. So much sanding. …and here come the door jams. 😊

[@kenji-plasticmodels]

There is no correct answer. The creator of the plastic model can do it freely. You can try it in various ways. That will open up endless possibilities. Thanks😃

[@SamTheSum]

Superb!

[@asakura744]

隙間の微調整にこだわりすぎて完成までに数ヶ月かかった思い出があります(笑) 根気がいりますよねw(^_^;)

[@oscarcsar]

"Sadly" I've bought this model in the 1990's and back then models doesn't include photoetched metal parts 😞. I know Kyosho released it in die cast metal 1/18 scale but didn't buy it. I still have my Tamiya 1/24 unbuilded of course 😃. I have many unbuilded Tamiya models. I love scale cars but as I said before, I don't have so much patience 😞 and at the end I got desperate and model pays the price, I mean, it does not end well.

dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last days =)

[@bluesoul8117]

前回と今回は長編作になりましたね。 このモデルはパテ修正が多くて大変だな、 エンジンフードのエッジを合わせても面一にならないとは。 これを見ると実車のボディ剛性弱そう。

やめてー!ポキッてなるからフニフニやめてあげてーっ!

At least the title in english please. 😂

I have set an English title, but isn't it displayed?

I don't know why. Is that so for everyone?

If you set the language to English from the menu on the upper right, English seems to be displayed.
