Processing phases

Good work always begins with precise and

laborious planning.

We always start with the choice of raw

material. Cembro pine wood cut into blocks

and assembled to make up the various parts.

After drawing the traces you begin to cut and

run the gouge and chisel.

Here the nose of our jaguar is beginning to

show.

Finishing stages with chisel.

Here we at a good point. polished properly and

with the dimensions very close to the final

shape of 1:8.

Let’s start assembling some pieces.

We also add the snout and check that

everything fits, size and dimensions.

The size of the seats is also to be confirmed

pending later upholstery in red leather.

Some drawings for the front grame and

engine.

Carved into the wood, the engine also takes

shape. i have placed a 1 euro coin side by

side to give an idea of the size of the details.

Before being painted, the various

components must be assembled to check

their overall dimensions and

measurements. from the photographs it is

not easy and straightforward to find the

dimensions for the final result.

Once it is verified that everything is in

place, we move on to painting.

the various parts of the passenger

compartment.

Of the seats, the various pieces of leather are

first cut and then placed using a special glue.

The interior and exterior handles are really a

micro workmanship, all done by hand.

In my hands look at how small these handles

are, all strictly mirror-polished aluminum, like

all the other accessories that shine in the car.

this is glass lift handle. now as I fili in this

page it doesn’t seem real that icould have

polished to a mirror finish

We are grappling with the construction of

the rims and el hub which are drilled with

0,6 mm drill bits for a total of 144 holes.

The purpose of all these holes is to

accomodate the spokes which make up

the rim.

The spokes are stainless steel and the hub as well as the rim are aluminum.

The end result is very truthful. I like. In the end I counted 1500 hours of work.
