Just to let you know Wayne, if you're in Britain it's a bulkhead and if you're in America it's a firewall. This model is beautiful. I remember the matchbox toy of this one. I had 2.
I didn't realise there is no floor in this car.

All those fiddly bits shows how much patience a modeler has to have, great job as usual.

[stevenmynes]

I get a kick out of seeing Batman's cowl on the terminator!😆🤣😂👍

[theralph]

Great job sir, that was a really detailed pack looks like much patience is needed.👍

Really coming along! You're only 12 stages away form IXO Box 19 - Stage 76 which is where I'm at. I was hoping that Agora in their instructions would have included the story line of the Porsche matching IXO Magazines.
The Fuel Injector lines: I added 12g craft wire near the end simulating an anti-kink coil. But like you said - it gets hidden anyway. lol
The decals that go on the dash: I had a problem with them peeling off. So, I added a couple of coats of Tamiya Mark Sit Strong. Then for added assurance I brushed on a tiny bit of Tamiya X-22 Clear gloss over the decals.

I'm following along with the Agora build (as well as the IXO build), because you're doing the 12 month build, and will catch up and pass the 25 month IXO build I am doing before I finish. So I will see the final build parts before I get to them!

Very nice your. Very fiddly steps, but worth the effort. Thanks for sharing.

[ruschoffbernd]

Great and very informative. Thanks for the useful hints. Am thinking of getting the Porsche myself, as I have actually been to Le Mans and seen a 24h race there. Also, love the film. Nice also to see the use of a tool from my neck of the (German) woods, i.e. the Wera screwdriver, which I use as well. The green handle always gives it away. Their headquarters are in my hometown.

You can do asimple 3D printed mod whereby the gearstick actually moves back/4th. +the real gear stick or gear knob hdda shinny wood coloured effected as that's how it looked in the car in real life

[rick_fortune]

If I recall, when you did the Ixo version of this stage, you used resin for those little wires. Yes?

[davidbassett]

Wow .. that was a real fiddly pack .. but the details really do add to the car Wayne

[alanrachlin]

Wayne, maybe I missed it in later videos, but where are aft ends of the fire extinguisher hoses (56R) attached?

[chipwalker]

I think when I get to this stage I'll omit the black panels that hide all the ignition wires.

[garrylewis]

I’m doing the ixo build of this car
There definitely is an issue with the main body not having the top half of the No 20

[chipwalker]

Wayne any way you can let me know how wide the seat belts are. I have an Idea but need some info.

[dorothywood]

Hi Wayne, my brother just made this but he cannot get the planets to turn. Can you advise?

[bedfordshiremodeller]

Reminds of the dreaded issue48 1:8th scale DMC12 bulkhead/dashboard cables😰😩😡🤬😱🤷‍♂️

[barrywhitlock]

very fiddly work, I am glad I am not doing this as I think I might have lost some of the tiny details on the black floor tiles

[milrman]

I'd love that model but watching latest parts, I don't think I'd have patience to put th little parts in, only because of my health at min,

[aztekdummy]

lovely work, but absolutely maddening the order they asked you to do it in. Those seatbelts could have been added much later and they wouldn't have been in the way. and why bother with precise length measurements on the wires if all you do is chop half of it off when you're done?

As for covering all the hard work.. "remember it's the journey, not the destination" and "the joy is the parts we've met along the way..."

yeah, I don't buy it either..
