JB2013 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hello everyone~! This is what Miccara has been waiting for: How will I build his model - the Cord Supercharged 812? I don't have a definite answer but I WILL give it my best effort. Starting this thread off with the kit. Parts are intact and in good condition. Upon closer examination I found broken pieces from the bottom part of the car. (THUD!) Did someone fainted? :P No worries; it's fixed now. More will be updated. Stay tuned buds~!

2qwik4u Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 You lucky dog. This is one of my wish list kits I've been dying to get my hands on. Looking forward to the build. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miccara Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yeah baby! 40 years later! I'm going to take a great deal of satisfaction from this build (even though I'm not building it!). Go Jack, go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miccara Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Got the parts Jack. I'm in the middle of an F4 build but will try to fabricate something for you just after Christmas, if that works for you... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the middle of an F4 build but will try to fabricate something for you just after Christmas, if that works for you... That's great news. Take your time with the fabrication Miccara, and good luck on your Phantom build; eager to see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JB2013 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) My progress so far ... The engine as I commenced this grand and sacred project - sacred because I WILL take my time building it and will do further research on every detail of the model as I go. Some of you will notice that I assemble the parts on one frame and detach them on the next. That's because I wanted to make sure that the parts go together neatly and perfectly. "B67034" ... what's that? :huh: Nice assembly ... A combination of course and fine sanding with sticks (#30501 and #30502 respectively) solves the fitting problems nicely. Even though this part will be concealed in the future it still bothers me when it is hollow. Edited May 4, 2012 by Jack Bogart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JB2013 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Cutting some styrene from my stash of scrap, outlined the shape by pencil, cutting it by scissors, then painstakingly trimming the extras off to make it fit into the flushed areas. More to trim; half a circle for one add-on. Easy enough ... ... to make it fit and stand without glue. The result speaks for itself. To be continued ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miccara Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Jack, Jack, Jack my friend.... I forgot all about your part... it's in my desk drawer and I will start it this week and get it to you! lol! I was so happy to finish that friggin' F4, I forgot about it! Although I didn't finish the F4 until pretty much the end of February... about 3 months longer than I estimated.

JB2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Finally found this thread. Now to bring it back online and finish the Cord. It was a long hiatus but now with enough research, tools, and resources I can now attempt to finish this model .... Hey Miccara are you still out there? I sent you a PM regarding that piece I had mailed back to you. Almost done with the engine and getting close to the step where I needed the part back. Lemme know pal! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
