Marvel's Hydra Coupe 1/12 scale full scratch build

Hey François,

I took a look at the photos. It's absolutely amazing. This car is so beautifully built, I could never do it as well as you.
Now all you need is Hydra itself and you'll think you're in the middle of a movie....

Thank you very much for showing us.

Best regards

Dear François
the car that you have celebrated is so beautifully, excellent built
 
Thank you everyone !

Both side tool boxes are complete and ready to be installed. I redid the clear on the trunk lid, there was a spot where I sanded thru the clear and the paint, all the way to the darker primer. Now it ok. I just need to fabricate both lock handles and the lid will be ready for installation.

I found the playboy bunny hidden in one of your photos. Just like the old days.

Yesterday, my son asked me if I could print a large dragon for him and his budys for their dungeon and dragon game. He gave me the file and after about 7hrs of printing time, I had a complete and highly detailed dragon. This gave me the idea that I could maybe find a printable file of the red skull caracter that could be set in the display case. After about 5 minutes of search, I found a file for 5$. I had to scale it down a bit, the actor is 6ft 2in so I scaled it down by 33%. It came out great ! Just need to paint it.

Here's the dragon

Françoise,
as always a great pleasure to watch you create your model. Wonderful, beautiful. The figure of the evil red one is an absolute hit.

Best regards

The red skull figurine holds a cube in is right hand behind is back. It's the same cube that I but in the thingy in the trunk. I thought it would be fun to have it glow by Inserting a pico led in it. So I printed the hand in clear resin, made an access hole from the wrist to the cube and inserted the led inside. I painted the glove black and the cube a translucide bleu. The wires go up the arm, into the torso, down the right leg and out under the right foot. Looks kinda neat.

Here's a picture of what I think is CG image of the back side of the figurine with the glowing cube.

Hey François,

what a character. Sensational. Allow me to ask you a question Your result is almost perfect. I think it's a bit shiny. It could also be that it's the photo. Are you going to oil-bronze it with black and gray? Then it will look even more vibrant. But please remember, this is not a criticism. I would never do something like that.

Best regards

Thank you Gunther,
The face is a bit shiny, I'll chalk it up to a sweaty person. As for the rest of the figurine, he's dressed in leather so I wanted a little shine to the suit and more shine to the boots and gloves.
Well, the car itself is almost done. Just need to install the exhaust pipes to conclude this portion of this project. I've started the design of the control panel where the red skull figurine will be. I couldn't find a 3d modeled red skull that could be opened in Inventor (the model I used to print is a mesh model so to heavy and complicated to use) but I found another model that will do the job for now. And I'm slowly modeling the display case. Here are a few pictures of the almost completed car. I'll take proper pictures shortly.
