Hallo to all, thanks to all for your honouring words!
Before building this roof ends I discussed with a few friends for technology of this modeling job and a few of them meant to build a mold for pressing warmed styrene in it. First I would need three such molds for these ends and second I would built these molds as negative patterns of the parts. I think that this way is not the right intension for use with rebuilding of only one model. Building a simple basic structure from a hard plywood and shetting with small and curved styrene strips (cut from a sheap plain styrene sheet) was the most fast and very simple way detting this roof ends, I think. And this is a technology where I was sure that I could work without problems.
Thanks all also for discussion about technological hints then these give new and often very well usable ideas for future projects. This is the reason since my first post here in forum and before in the Gauge.com that I get opinions and answers also for dificult modeling problems. Thanks!
And Michael / nkp_174 - wish you good success with your old time passenger car modeling!
