Carving

First step is to carve all parts. I used one sheet of multiplex plywood in this case it was 600 x 300 mm and had a thickness of 12 mm. If the material is thicker you get a wider car. All parts are carved on one plate.

Estimated time: 90 minutes

i glued it in steps together to get it exact matching. Orientation is the rear. Take car to clean squeeze out before drying.

Estimated time: 60 minutes

Cleaning tyre holes and mount axis

Estimated time: 10 minutes

Finishing

This step is the most intense. If you are worked precise before it will be easier. You have to sand everything i started with 120 grid and ended be 320. You can sound the edges if you like.

At the end I coded my car with furniture wax.

The other car you can see in the picture got some patina before by using chalk paint.

Estimated time: 20 minutes
