DARRACQ

 Today, the rear side seats were completed, with only minor adjustments remaining for their attachment to the rear compartment. Next up will be the front seat, a bit more complex and laborious, but with calm, patience, and precision, it will also be completed. See below for this compilation.


Thank you for your interest and for the comments you've shared about this project.

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.
