DARRACQ

 Hello everyone, thank you for your interest in my new Darracq project.

Today I received the paint I had tinted to bring it as close to the original color as possible. Since the holidays have given me more strength and energy to move forward, I'm sending you some photos of the paint job on the front wheels and the exterior of the rear seats. The seat guards are also finished with tufted padding, as you can see.

Front wheel, first painting test. The paint quality is acrylic.

External painting of the seat and backrest of the guards already in place.

As you can see, the cushioning with the capitone buttons is finished.

As you can see, the painting is done with an airbrush, here is a rear view of the seats, being tested.

 Hello everyone, with the holidays over and some rest, it's time to continue the Darracq project.

Today I'm here to show you some more progress, including the first test of the radio control, to test the servo and motor. This is a short film without much quality, as filming and driving isn't ideal. Here are some more photos of this interesting and laborious project, I hope you enjoy.

 Continuing this project of building the Darracq, today I come to show some more advances in this work, the construction of the fenders, in metal, first a wooden mold is made with the formatting of the curves so that they are symmetrical, and also the formatting of the box and front seat, some photos and sequences of these works, I hope you enjoy seeing.

 Hello to all my friends who, like me, enjoy and appreciate this hobby. And that being the case, it's a project that doesn't progress as quickly as we'd like, for various reasons: other work that needs to be done, and sometimes a lack of materials.

Today I'm here to show you some more progress on the chassis, differential, and fenders. The differential was adapted from a Wltoys brand, so several modifications were necessary to adapt it to this project. The fenders are made of 1mm metal, and a wooden mold is made to shape the curves.

Some photos of this work that I hope you'll enjoy and understand.
