Mercedes W126 500 SEC AutoArt

[Wukill]

The model is a broken and rebuilded from the old owner.. (old owner is fridge repairer) The bought the model broken and he fixed (i dont know how ) and after him i bought the model..

The model is repainted but its like a nail paint.. Not bad but it needs to change.. The old owner siliconed tires (without center of tires), the engine is changed. Glass, headlight, tail lights, mirrors etc shown plastic parts are okay.. (at least) And the old owner made some light system to car..

First off all i will try to rebuild suspansion tire parts from another model which is maisto, welly, burago etc..

Im thinking about the color "calypso red"

I will try to rebuild like original, nothing else different or modificated..











These were how was the model before some hours..

What i did ?

I disassembled the light system and whole the model, i will check interior parts and i will try to fix (if there is need) or change parts..

Here is the last pic;



I will try to share every changed history of this poor model..

Here is the rear suspansion and tire center jobs..

Springs are cutted as enough scale..



It needed some calibration and i got it here


And the last


Now we have rear tire center parts and tires are movable..

Next is for front tires with springs and they will have rotational movement to right and to left..

It looks very good. Do the springs actually work?

Of course I study in TU Mechanical Engineering and i have some experience about fatigue, stress etc.. If i left the model without spring the model would stay on 4 tires and when i took the model to my hand and leave it back there would be some stress and fatigue (as deformation).. Thus we have shock absorbers and springs absorb the momential force from rear tires center parts..

Second one is as i told about project that i wanted a restoration as original and i want them to work.. (I dont know the original has suspansion system )

That's the thing - the original AutoArt doesn't have working suspension. This makes your model even better.

Actually I have a similar project as yours. I may get some ideas from you.

Hi, by the way, the metalic paint on the modell, as I see it, is Dupli color Red metalic, it's not a nail paint. If you need glossy finish, just spray it with transperent layer
it will be whole another car

I've tried this method and there is big difference between just metalic paint and added transperent layer over it.

I know but there were so many scratch on the whole car esspecially on the doors.. That's why i was kidding as a nail paint

Here is the front tire center parts.. They just finished and i wanted to share them













Springs are working (not so much but enough good) These suspansion job is finally finished and my fingers can take a rest for study lesson, Every parts for tire centers and suspansions from Welly Mini Cooper.. I dont think if i will need anything for tires or suspansion, its %100 over now.. Next step will be for body paint and interior repair & paint.. I was thinking to finish about in a week but i will need more 2 weeks.. Body is the hardest one
