You are really doing a superior job on this model. Neat and precise. I've downloaded the same model, but I doubt I can do as clean a job as you are. Exceptional!

You did some recoloring, right? I got that download too, but my prints came out in a way brighter grey. The darker colour of your print is way more realistic, I have seen some prototypes of this unique car some years ago at a world meeting of Citroen enthusiasts.
Please give us some detailed descriptions on the intriguing way they modeled the suspension of this car! Reagards, Martin

As i was corrected by Y66 this car was called "deux chevaux" which sounds like "De Shvo" so i stand corrected
 sa for the suspension ...it is not so elaborated as one might think (its a very simple model ) and they envolv tension wiers ....here are some very erly pic that i took at the start...

I wonder why the suspension has to be sprung? The model only weighs as much as a couple of pieces of paper. Great job, regardless.

@ solo97: Still, those pictures help. Neeeat work!
@ rockpaperscissor: I guess this is just to model another important aspect of the old 2CV. When asked about the "ugly duckling" most people remember the canvas top and the extremely soft suspension as the very first things. A 2CV, going thru a fast, tight corner was a sight to behold because you felt like scraping your elbow on the road surface, as it leaned out of the corner at an alarming angle! I got a very rare 1:8 cardboard model of the 2CV, the delivery van version of it and of the Citroen Mehari. With all of them, the designer took great pains to model the suspension as soft as possible, using spring coils you had to wind yourself.
