Continuing assembly but got a second nice surprise in April; the clear display case for the metal base Eaglemoss sent out the month prior. The case itself looks great and is designed to fit into the base so the final model is sealed from dust and grime.
Interior parts are about done so onto the frame and body panels!
Frame is made up of two large metal subassemblies that the panels and other parts attach to. I haven't installed the windshield yet because I'm trying to avoid having it get scratched or cracked while I add the body panels.
A few small door jam parts installed to the frame. The trunk features a working bonnet and the final assembly drops into the frame.
The trunk lid even has working strutts. Some guys are adding carpeting to the trunk interior but I think it looks pretty good as is (plus I don't plan on showing off the trunk that much.)
The bonnet lid is made up of several small parts and looks pretty accurate to the real Delorean parts.
Starting to look familar.
This side looks even better. Looks like a real Delorean frame from the assembly line.
Some of the brackets and rear quarter panel parts. This is an exciting part of the build to get to. Going forward, this will start looking a whole lot like the time machine. Plus, there's lots of neat componets to attach in the coming months: flux bands, the rear reactor area, and bringing the frame, interior and body altogether.
