Antique Car – Continued – Making of Top and Details like Ligths, Bumpers, etc.

This is the last blog post regarding the production of our new classic car. The pdf and svg file set is already available in the shop. It can be used with a cutting device that has a cutting mat of at least 8 x 12″. So e.g. Silhouette Cameo (with Silhouette Studio from Designer Edition), Brother ScanNCut, Cricut Maker. With Cricut Joy the cutting mat is unfortunately too small.

In the next step, the top is made. The transparent window panes are glued in first (it is best to use transparent film for cutting).

After gluing the window panes, you should ideally glue the entire top together. This has the advantage that you can still reach into the top with tweezers or fingers, later when the top is mounted on the body this is no longer possible.

Finally, the completely glued together radiator grille is placed on the bonnet and glued on.

As the last section you have to produce all the small details like headlights or mirrors. In view of the many small parts, this is a relatively laborious affair, but it is really worth it due to the great later appearance of the classic car!

Finally, a few photos of the finished classic car – the rear view with the case is also a real eye-catcher!

Announcement – Cuttingfile for Antique Car

On August 19, 2022 a really great new cutting file is coming to our shop! This is a cutting template for a large and very detailed classic car!

Antique Car – Coming soon a new Cutting file for Cutting Machines like Cricut, Silhouette, Brother ScanNCut

In the meantime until 19.8. I will also publish some making-of blog posts so that you can follow how such a classic car is gradually being created.
The size of the finished vehicle is as follows: length 26 cm, width 9 cm and a height of 11.5 cm.

The cutting parts can be cut with A4 paper. If you have a very large cutting mat (12×24″) and very large paper, then you could – if you like – also cut the classic car about a third larger!

Below are the first making-of photos – the base plate and the wheels are created
